Apart from playing in my own bands I get asked as a substitute (or temporary worker as I call it) bass player every now and then. Two years ago I was asked to do a gig with a band named "Pitch & T...

By the way, last januari Hein was signing his latest book in a book store in Amsterdam. Made me this cartoon in my copy. Attachment : image.png The man on the left says:"Next!"

A couple of years ago a cd was recorded with several bands who over the years had performed on the local "Rock Urbanus" festival. Each band two tracks. This is one of the tracks we recorded with Lemon...

The second track we recorded was this one, originally from the dutch band "The Scene". As the lyrics are in Dutch you'll probably won't understand a shit of it, haha!

This is one of the tracks we recorded with Lemon Curry. @marcel I love this song “Gangsters”. There are indeed a lot around these days (always have been I suppose).

Armpit @eddie6string This is a cool song. Is there anywhere else to get this song from?

So here are the lyrics: Dit is voor de misfits die je her en der alleen ziet staan Die onder straatlantaarns eten en drinken bij de volle maan Dit is voor degenen die je overal herkent En deze is vo...

Another which is quite nice is a mix (equal quantities) turpentine, boiled linseed and beeswax..it a very old gunstock (musket) recipe. Smells great too. @deej That sounds good, I think I’ll try that...

I can’t take any credit for the woodwork though - the body and neck came to me “raw” and I just nailed the bits together @tv1010101 I’ve got a confession to make, .......... (I’m so ashamed)...........

Iv'e got started on the neck at last. @robin Looking good and some nice weather for the occasion too.

I got a bigger see through base made for my router now from 6mm makralon. Also glued two cheeks on to the neck to make it wide enough for the headstock. This turned out not to be a good idea as I now...

I'm learning as I'm going along. @robin Oops! Never mind, you can take a positive away from this, you know what not to do next time. When that piece you have glued in has dried, re-route it.

Tops! I am going to try it sometime!

I'm plugging into a Laney TT50 combo. Great amp..... 3-channels, full midi-switching and loud as..... Well, not directly... In between is a pedal board with a GLAB GSC-4 midi looper/switcher, volume p...

Beautiful. Love the steel guard.

Nice one Tone........... I wonder: I was told that stain + oil = recipe for disaster. This looks great though, is the finish holding under sweaty circumstances?

maybe prepare a meal one night for everyone. My other passion is cooking for I am an Executive Chef by profession @clinton Wow! That’s a very kind offer, I hope I am around when you visit. It would b...
