We are not an Irish music band. We don't know any Irish songs. But a pub where we had a successful first-time gig a few months back reached out to our BL asking if we do any Irish music and are we available SPD weekend. BL thinks learning 3-4 Irish ditties and sprinkling them into our usual...

A nice basic starter fretless. Purchased new by me at Boston’s Mr. Music and has spent nearly all of its life tucked away and strung with flats. Whisper-light basswood body, maple neck, lined rosewood board. Board has some string marks from the factory rounds, but no wear otherwise. Some pitting...

Did I need it? Of course not. But Friday a buddy who follows FB Marketplace clued me in to a 94/95 Fender Precision Special Cowpoke less than 30 minutes' drive from me. Been heads down with school work and work work, so haven't had time to get acquainted with the preamp and ride it hard. But...

Oh my. This just showed up in my IG feed: Squier Classic Vibe '60s Competition Mustang Bass Lake Placid Blue w/Olympic White Stripe

For Sale - G&L CLF Research L-1000 Bass Guitar 2021 Natural Ash This beauty in the classifieds (I have no affiliation) got me dreaming just now of a Wunkay short scale. It'll never ever happen, but man would I be jonesing if it ever did. Who's with me?

Born in Westerly. Spruce top, mahogany back/sides/neck, rosewood fretboard. Grover tuners. Fishman EQ pickup system. D'Addario bronze strings that are at least 25 years old. OHSC w/a li'l candy. This one has spent most of the last 27 years in its case, as evidenced by some top finish...

1997 Squier Musicmaster Vista Bass $525 + CONUS shipping I bought this in 2019 and I’m not giving it nearly the attention it so richly deserves. Thanks to the Vista-Tone pickup and a very brief production run, these are semi-legendary basses, great sounding and wicked fun to play...

The whole enchilada. The UMass Lowell Pink Floyd Ensemble, for your consideration: (Skip to 15:49 for "GGITS." You're welcome.) Back story: https://www.uml.edu/news/stories/2020/pink-floyd-dark-side-of-moon-tribute.aspx

Apropos nothing, I loaded my ipod shuffle with Stevie yesterday for my sunrise runs. This morning I was wonderfully reminded of his genius and joy. Talking Book, Innervisions, and Fulfillingness set the table; Key of Life cleared the basses. That's all. Enjoy your day.

Charlie Parker entered this world 100 years ago today to turn music on its ear. Left us far too soon. Pouring one out today for Bird. Invalid Link Removed

It is what it is, pics attached. Lightly used, very clean case. $50 + CONUS shipping. Thanks for looking.

MIK 2007, acquired by me ca. 2013. 30” scale, wine red finish, chambered mahogany body, 5-ply maple top, mahogany neck, mini humbuckers, VVT. 8 pounds on the bathroom scale. Strung with flats since I took possession because thump. Excellent+ condition, lived a smoke-free life with me. Modded...

Hi TB. I'm jonesing heavy for the forthcoming new Sire U5 shorty. But just now, looking at it for the skedillionth time, I noticed that the bridge pup is set waaaaaay back, even in comparison with their other models: It's giving me second thoughts (well, that and the current economic...

My trio are committed to performing a cocktail set 1 month from now at an annual dinner/silent auction to support a European concert trip by our local high school's choir. Third year we've done it. Drummer's son is in the choir. Just learned from a reliable source that the headliner is under...

Just got an alert on this little gem: Sterling Squier Ray4 Vista Musicmaster Short Scale Bass ONE OF A KIND! | eBay Looks cool, but some questions: 1. Why? 2. Would it even intonate? 3. Where's the rest of the Squier? *** DISCLAIMER: I have no connection to this listing and have no intention...

My Epiphone Allen Woody has been my main player since I procured it in 2014. I string it with flats and 98% of the time keep the neck pup soloed because thump. Rehearsal last night after a too-long layoff and this bass that I love was not loving me back. Just flat-out uncomfortable, sitting or...

Anyone else get this in their Instagram today? "The long awaited Fallout Bass: 30" of fury, kind of like a fun-size wunkay. I really don't know the rollout details, other than there is a Launch Edition coming out with racing stripes. What a cool little machine this is"...

Congratulate me: I'm officially 2-for-2 buying used basses (both shorties!) online from GC. I've had a years-and-years-long hankering for a Squier Vista Musicmaster since playing a friend's. That hankering festered over time into outright lust for all four designer colors. Found this on the GC...

A recent NBD post reminded me that there's a Music Go Round near me (sorta), so I went online and saw they had a bass on my wish list, a Kramer Duke, at pretty much the best price one could find anywhere. So today the dog and I took advantage of a lull in my schedule and drove just under an...

"In World War II, Britain's air ministry spread the word that a diet of [carrots] helped pilots see Nazi bombers attacking at night...." The Myth About Carrots and Vision Started to Foil Nazis

Ovation instruments have their partisans and detractors. Also, carrots. Whichever camp you're in, it's great to see the Connecticut factory back in production and an American brand again being built in the USofA. Wishing them continued success -- hope they bring back the Storm Series!

Another great one gone. He left these words to live by:

Missus is taking me to Chicago this weekend as her "plus one" on a business trip (yeah, she's a total keeper). Never been, don't know when I'll be back. Looking for tips on good live blues and/or jazz venues for Sat and/or Sun night. Real deal, not t-shirt shops with a bar/restaurant in the...

Last night I attended Angels/Red Sox at Fenway Park. I could go on for pages lamenting the decline of the MLB fan experience at the ballyard, but instead I'll co-opt a piece of it: the walk-up song! QUESTION: What song would you want to hear over the PA as you take those steps from the...

Just learned that Horace Silver passed this morning at age 85. My trio usually opens gigs with "Song For My Father" and frequently dip into the HS catalog. Thanks for a lifetime of great music, sir.

Have a line on a 220 head/402 cab. Can negotiate a favorable price. Can afford it. Wouldn't be taking food out of my kids' mouth, but I could certainly use the money for other worthy things. BUT: I have no practical use for it at the moment. It would be taking up space in a corner of my...
