The Last Bass Outpost

I picked this AVII 66 Jazz up during our down time, probably my favorite Jazz ever. https://youtu.be/JFwYaLXYaPo?si=POTb8VrpOaoBz9XB

I didn't need any more amps , but I like Darkglass amps and couldn't resist the deal.I like little 200 watt size heads for rehearsals/home practice. I,ve picked up several at this point.
That's the only gear purchase I've made in the recent past. Sold one bass , might sell several more , might sell some extra amps ... we'll see. Not under any pressure to downsize , other than room.

$200? What a deal! They must have overestimated demand.

Yeah, this upgrade has taken care of a lot of issues. Long time coming.

Theme From an Imaginary Western always gets me. Such a beautiful song. I never saw this TV footage before, sounds pretty good.

Well, she is in dire need of a cheeseburger or six

A very cool bass. May it bring you a ton of joy.

A "slothead" EB-3L is still on my wishlist...

Years ago I was in a band and we'd rehearse in Twickenham, west of London.  Singer lived in a huge house with her parents (we were all teenagers); her bedroom was about 30' square and we'd set up in there.  One day she said, 'There's a lot of loud music coming from next doors basement,' so understandably we get a bit inquisitive and investigation goes on.

One day, we see Lee Brillaeux coming out of the house and another one of Dr Feelgood (I think the bass player).  Turns out the house was owned by John Mayo, Wilco's replacement.  Conversations were had and we ended up rehearsing in his basement studio for a while.  Nice bloke.
