I wish! This guy was my first bass teacher (although virtual).

I was waiting for his new album for quite a while. It's coming out soon... New video released today, thought it was worth sharing. That Jolana Diamant bass sounds just right.

Yes. But I have two.

I've seen Cory in London - awesome. The gig with The Metropole Orkest sounds great - I was supposed to see Kamasi Washington in Budapest at the end of June... Cancelled already.

I'm sure most of you have free time at the moment. Here are 2 links for your enjoyment. I was listening to an album with this track on, and then found the live version. Total beasts...

And they are great.

I didn't see it being posted, I think it's great. Love Woody.

Marcus is world class, one of the best smaller gigs I've been to. I admire him so much for having young musicians in his band. And he features them in most of the songs. Joe Bonamassa on the other hand... 4 times the price and pretty boring really.

I just bought a lovely JV from Malcolm*, super easy to work things out with, even though there was some juggling with the logistics side of it. Awesome bass, top BC'er. Shame we didn't get to meet... Thanks! *Ted

Quality is annoying, to say the least. There’s some cool stories from Joe and it’s great to see a happy member of an awesome band.

This was written by Woody, the keys player with glasses - funk machine.

It is a great idea. And that someone is Ryan Lerman - guitar player from Scary Pockets.

Fixed it, just for you 😉

And moments like that continue throughout the whole video! They are fun!

I've just finished watching it (took me a couple of days) and I think they have thought about everything. What a great show!

You almost got me there! Haha

Spot in. This is a recipe for better tattoos all around. I bet most of the “bad” tattoos are created when the customer demands and doesn’t listen to reasons why his/hers idea might not be the best. And it’s the artists job to make it work for both sides. Bad “artists” just do the tattoo anyway without any consideration to the detail/space ratio or the placement of a tattoo. And that’s not even touching of the subject of choosing the right technique for the design. Sadly, these days it’s pretty easy to get a bad tattoo. Especially, if one doesn’t do any research and doesn’t want to spend much money. ”Good tattoos aren’t cheap, cheap tattoos aren’t good”.

Yes. Depending on the ink I guess, but the first thing a tattoo artist asked me when I enquired about a full black sleeve was “do you realise it can get really hot in the sun?”. I didn’t consider it up until then, so hence why I don’t have a full black, just bits - and that still burns a lot sometimes. Edit - picture of the outside of my arm. This gets pretty hot in the full sun. This is an old one from like 5 years ago - now there’s more black above that.

Is this actually your arm? It looks solid! I love blackwork but only have “little” bits, as I think a full arm could get too hot in the summer.

Kamasi Washington (sax), Makaya McCraven (drums), Marquis Hill (trumpet), Christian Sands (piano - he plays in a trio with Christian McBride on bass) are my favourite jazzers at the moment. Rock? Nothing new these days.
