Bass Player. Basses from @rikkersguitars, @fender, @michaeltobiasdesign, @ariaguitars, @warwickbassesofficial, @music_man and more.
Simple things. Simple things.
My recent acquisition from B-stock at @thomann.mus My recent acquisition from B-stock at @thomann.music - a @sireusaofficial M6 multiscale. After a little work from local luthier @mullenjulian for sharp fret ends, this thing is just gorgeous. So easy to play, very light and surprisingly easy to adapt to. Great #bassguitar🎸 👍
Big love to @richtonemusic - this @markbassamps Tr Big love to @richtonemusic - this @markbassamps Traveler 1x15 joins the 2x10 I’ve had for many years. I’ll be selling a couple of larger cabs shortly, this stack can get to gigs with me a lot easier! Not a huge downgrade in power handling, either. I can still use all the amps I have with it: 800W power handling at 4Ohms. The new can seems to be absolutely new, even has a nice cover! Top tip: order direct from Rich Tone. Their website is excellent and payment capabilities extensive. Shipping by DPD was good and their packaging was spot on for something this big. Great experience. #bassplayer #bassguitar
The office for this evening. This one will be cath The office for this evening. This one will be cathartic - I was playing with Full Flavour at the start of May when I broke my right hand (sagittal band tear!). It’ll be nice to get back to a gig with them! And not be interrupted by the boxing. Unless the punters get a bit wild.
Enjoying setting up setlist etc for a wedding gig Enjoying setting up setlist etc for a wedding gig with @willblakeband tomorrow. It’s a great setlist, loads of newer stuff! . . #bassist #bassplayersofinstagram
Randomness! Gig this weekend, have the setlist on Randomness! Gig this weekend, have the setlist on repeat on the AirPods. I do love the bass from @whamofficial “wake me up before you go-go”, it’s in-sane. #bassplayer #bassguitarist #bassguitar
Me n my @rikkersguitars bodyline onstage with @jag Me n my @rikkersguitars bodyline onstage with @jaggedlittlealanis at @rocknribsfestival - what a festival, what a day! So much amazing music, and some seriously beautiful cars. THEY HAD AN A-TEAM VAN 😳😁👍🏻👍🏻
This was my office with @jaggedlittlealanis at @ro This was my office with @jaggedlittlealanis at @rocknribsfestival 3pm this afternoon. I knew they had an @ampeg “cab” available, but not what it was. I decided this was the perfect time to take the @traceelliotamps V4 to a festival and do that big stage thing. When I arrived, I discovered it was that holy grail of festival cabs, a real, honest to goodness old Ampeg 8x10. An absolute UNIT. The V4 delivered in spades, and now I want to work out how the hell I can get one of those cabs and keep it somewhere. DAMMIT THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND 😂🤣 What a festival. I had the @rikkersguitars Bodyline for it and it sounded just awesome. So much tone! Love to my wife Nic for driving, it was a glorious day, and to my bandmates I say 😘
Big festival gig today with @jaggedlittlealanis - Big festival gig today with @jaggedlittlealanis - @rocknribsfestival time!! Totally beaming at the thought of 3pm and a BIIIG stage. I’m taking the @traceelliotamps V4 head with me! STADIUM ALANIS FANS ASSEMBLE 😂😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just loved this after my 6 weeks away from gigging Just loved this after my 6 weeks away from gigging while my right hand tendon injury (torn Sagittal band) healed. The good news is I am VERY CLOSE TO HEALED! I can play pretty normally and will be gigging with @jaggedlittlealanis very soon! Check out where we’re gigging this summer over at our Linktree!

A new challenge while my hand recovers - time to l A new challenge while my hand recovers - time to learn how to use the Behringer XR18 desk I have and get some scenes saved for live work. Thinking it’d work well for @jaggedlittlealanis so we can have our own complete mix and monitor setup! I do have a pair of Mackie Thumps and a wedge monitor as well, I guess I need a subwoofer now. The thumps are 15” though…
Argh. Last Saturday, while trying to tighten up a Argh. Last Saturday, while trying to tighten up a clamp on a mic stand, of all things, I managed to rupture a “sagittal band” for the middle finger on my right hand. This keeps the tendon in place on top of the knuckle, and it started moving all over the place. Very painful after it happened a couple of times. I’m now looking at 6 weeks minimum where I can’t use my plucking hand to pluck. Gutted does not even start to cover it - cancelled a lot of gigs, and can’t even practice properly. I plan to get very, very good at double thumbing, which I think I’ll be able to do, and it’ll keep my left hand agile. Wish me luck. #injury #bassplayer
