Midnight at the oasis - lots of people.

Footage of the latest bass from Jens. Bass looks great despite the fretboard. https://youtu.be/XKMDNeef4MA

There's one ( a 301 IIRC) for sale in St Albans on various online marketplaces.

Everyone's a winner - Hot Chocolate

It's clear that Scott isn't pitching his courses at the likes of many of us who have been playing 20 years plus. I like Scott and his videos. Not all of them have something to offer me but those which do are really helpful. More power to him I say.

Ring of fire - Johnny Cash (currently on the telly)

I had no idea what these looked like. For others in the same position:

Potatoland - Spirit (Remember this from summer evenings under the influence of mushrooms in the 80s? No, me neither)

Scott says: A few days ago, I shared that I discovered a trick that allows you to turbocharge your command of the bass fretboard in just a few weeks. And it’s all thanks to a 200-year-old harmonic concept buried in the back of a dusty music theory textbook. Because this harmonic concept reveals that there are four “master patterns” hidden on the bass fretboard. These four patterns tie together ALL the other patterns and shapes you already know. (That’s why they’re the “master” patterns.) Which means once you internalise these master patterns, you can play up and down the neck with ease. And you’ll never get lost on the fingerboard ever again. But that’s easier said than done… See, I wish I could just give you a fretboard diagram for each of these patterns and it would make you a great bassist. But the truth is, if you just looked at these master patterns on the page, they would seem incredibly complex. And it would still take you a long, long time to figure out how to get them under your fingers to master the fretboard. At least, until now. Because after four gruelling months of trial and error — I figured out how to “hack” these four master patterns. And I discovered that if you practise these master patterns in a specific order…starting with specific finger positions…for a specific amount of time… You can rapidly increase your fretboard fluency — all in a matter of weeks. And I’m happy to say that now, for the first time ever, I’ve created a program that gives you this exact roadmap. It’s called Fretboard Accelerator. It’s the bestselling course in SBL history. And I’m excited to announce that we will be opening enrolment for the next round of students on Monday. So if you’re ready to stop feeling trapped on your fretboard by basic patterns and shapes… And to discover how to dance your way up and down the neck with ease — all in a matter of weeks… Then you’ll want to grab your spot in Fretboard Accelerator as soon as we open the doors. (Since there will be a special bonus available for students who sign up on the first day of enrolment.) Also, for the first time ever, we’re giving away a free lesson to one of our Accelerator programs — only for subscribers of the SBL email list. >> Claim your free Fretboard Accelerator sample lesson now. Then keep an eye on your inbox Monday, when we will be opening the doors for the next round of Fretboard Accelerator. That way, you can make sure you don’t miss out on your new-student bonus. Talk soon, -Scott However if you Google "master fretboard patterns" there are loads - some of which claim to be able to do this in one.

Labour of love - Hue & Cry (song) though I was tempted to do UB40 but that was an album.

There are some really nice pastels coming into vogue at the moment. Sea foam green may have started the trend.

She isn't Spartacus but she knows a man who is.

You'll inevitably get advice on what colour to change the scratchplate to - may I suggest a tan/ coffee colour

Yep, more is always better....
