Bass Player. Basses from @rikkersguitars, @fender, @michaeltobiasdesign, @ariaguitars, @warwickbassesofficial, @music_man and more.

Absolutely epic times last night, brought 3 basses Absolutely epic times last night, brought 3 basses to a session and the @rikkersguitars Bodyline won out. Aggressive tone! Project sounds just HUGE. Another massive sound from @marisasingsalot and I can’t wait to hear the finished product. Picking with a pick? Me? Well now, I’ll dig one out… oooooo that felt pretty good

I honoured to have worked with you again, Mar, and that session was challenging, engaging, exhausting and occasionally bewildering 😂

P.s, zamboooonnnnieeeeeeeee

Love having lunch with the band. It’s been a great Love having lunch with the band. It’s been a great 2025 with these guys, playing music I’d never looked into deeply before. I’m incredibly grateful they decided I’d be a good fit: isn’t it nice to get some feedback ❤️😁

Just finished recording something for an Instagram Just finished recording something for an Instagram video collaboration! Should be out soon… gave me a chance to use a couple of new pieces of equipment, and also dig out the Patriotic Flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
My beautiful @rikkersguitars bodyline running straight into the @uaudio Apollo quad, and video recorded with my iPhone 16 pro. Today I learned 2 things: OBS studio does not like the idea of creating portrait HD video, and the iPhone Continuity Camera doesn’t do it either. 😂🤣

MONTHS IN THE MAKING! You know how you’ll keep som MONTHS IN THE MAKING! You know how you’ll keep some #effectspedals because they’ve got sentimental value? Well, I realised I had 3 filter pedals I’d never sell, so I bought some more and make a FILTER PEDAL BOARD 😁. This is an extension board for my main one, which has an HX stomp loop available. That’ll cope with putting a limiter after the board to ensure it’s kept under control for level! Already tinkered with the @drolofx Kiwami after the SYB-5 and that sounds BONKERS. The SYB has the EV-5 plugged into it, so it makes amazing sounds. I love all these pedals!!

This is an extension board for my main one, and it’s slight bigger!! So many cool filter pedals to mess with.

This is a Drolo Kiwame, or rather, this is the ins This is a Drolo Kiwame, or rather, this is the inside of one.

It had a huge knock and one of the knobs stopped working. It was something of a bargain, and I took a bet I’d be able to fix it. I had to source the parts from the US (but I did get a new very cool pair of multifunctional pliers to pad the order out), and I managed to fix it this evening. The red wires are my addition: the two boards were previously connected with rigid wire, which made disassembly extremely tricky. After removing those, and replacing the pot (which was a job and a half), I put it all back together with enough wire to let me take it apart without separating the boards. 

This thing sounds truly weird, and it’s going on the filter pedalboard. A ring modulator is now mine! Plus a LOT of other truly odd noises.
