Sheet, I think I've gone down with Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I've bought a new Jazz Bass body in Maple. I'll soon need a neck, some tuners, hotrails....
I'll aim for something like this...

Bit of Black Sabbath and U.F.O. today. I'm really digging it.

I'm wary of recommending a video, but it seems the Bora Hansgrohe domestique Daniel Oss is well into his bass.
I had not heard of him, other than he's the one in the peloton with the curly perm.
This ride around London with Matt Stephens is mostly about his interest in music and the bass guitar.

On the one in, one out basis, what will go, the Ibanez, or a bike?

Neck and body for my new home made bass have arrived. Both are cheap, suspected chinese in origin. The neck is surprisingly good, evenly fretted and well finished. A nice bit of what seems to be real maple with a tidy fretboard. A pleasant surprise.
The body, not so good. The ad said it was maple. My arriss it is. I suspect its Paulownia, but not being a woodologist I can't be sure. It's a decent enough Jazz copy, but needed some good rubbing down. Its had 2 coats of wiping varnish, and days of varnish and repeat lay ahead of me yet.

No bass practice today for the first time ever, due to not being well.

Today I've been practicing Thin Lizzy's Waiting For an Alibi. Cracking bass riff. Neighbours are out so I cranked up the Bryce amp and let rip.

And practiced the sultans of Swing again, and lightened it up with some Paint it Black. Bill Wyman is a hard player to emulate.

I wrote a new song today. If anyone's interested. There's no bass on it, Drago - so ideal to jam along to ;-)
