non sense post...just wanted to share a couple of pics in this windy sunny day here middle Italy, Lanciano (region of Abruzzo)


this is what I can see right now from the west (mountains) and east side (sea) of my house.
I love this city,full of history (more ancient than Rome, we also have the oldest recorded Miracle of the Eucharist in the history of the Church if you're into religion, wich I'm not) perfectly placed in the middle of everything...


you can see the sea on the horizon

Very nice

Italy is definitely on my "places to go" list. The wife and I will make it there someday. Can we stay with you?

well...to be honest, there's plenty of things I would like to see here...
a better class of politicians
more honesty
more attention to the HUGE artistic patrimony we have and that we always forget
more job opportunities for the young people...
I can go on for days...

but above all...




more affordable basses and amps

That list applies to every country I've ever visited, experienced or lived in!

One would expect that at least the MarkBass stuff would be affordable there.

a little bit, but not as you would expect...
I'm lucky enough to live at 40km (25 miles) from the factory,
I've been personally there to have my Little Mark repaired (damaged volume pot after a fall) and they are SUPER nice people.
They repaired it in a couple of hours and charged me NOTHING despite my head (the first yellow one) was obviously no more under warranty.

Long life to Markbass.

True, that. You have to go to 1) Belgium or 2) Germany if you want the best beer. You go to Italy for the food and women

Do it, you'll be amazed
and if ever, of course, let me know

Ps: you would be surprised by how many extremely good italian beers we have,
it's just that we have a slightly different taste for beer,
personally, I've been in Austria for a gig and i've tasted the best beer EVER.
I've tasted it so extensively I can't remember the name

up
you may have heard of what happened in my region this night
a powerful heartquake killed many people..
I woke up this night with my bed shaking as hell
(as the entire region)
fortunately everything is fine in my city, just a lot of scaried people..
in L'Aquila and nearby
40 victims
5 children killed
thousands of injured

I don't have words to say
I can't even figure out how I'm feeling right now
