I suspect for some of us it's just a point in our lives...
My head is still not really in the right place but I'm still working through things so...
Also struggling with my writing..
Quality over quantity...
Yes. I love doing covers as originals just don't work live where I live, but I wanted to de-construct and re-construct material, and twist it, like Warren Zevon's subtle twist to Raspberry Beret, and the way we re-worked NY's Old Man into a rock song...
But I just quit a band I'd been playing with for 4 years as some started to push me towards playing fretted and I just prefer to play fretless... shame that they were using my rehearsal space... lol
It's a "red-flag" to tell me what bass I should be playing, let alone fretted or fretless...
I recently upgraded my keyboards and have been dabbling with those... Korg DX5 and a baby Triton, and a Novation Mininova... I need to re-tune my piano, but the old German beast is 150 years old and solid as a rock... lol
Still buying bass's... recently got a "paddle" to convert to fretless and intend to convert my Epi VP T'Bird to fretless too...
Still working on my studio space, when the readies run to it...
Also bought a baby MAG250 1x12 combo for small gigs... still love my MAG300 4x10 but crazy loud...
Still not sorted my Hiwatt...
