I’ve shared a bill with Shout, a thoroughly wonderful band.

Our gig on 27th is struggling for ticket sales (no surprise to me) but it seems that we’re still currently doing it. Also meant to be playing Hogmanay. We had someone lined up to play it with us (a singer songwriter from Dundee) but for reasons bets known to herself, she’s thrown a wobbly and kicked us into touch. This means we’re stuffed for the 31st if we can’t find another act to share the bill with - ‘kin divas!

Jeremy - Pearl Jam

S&M - Dean Friedman

The final and true test of an abstainer’s mettle. 😬

I’ve been looking

I bought an end pin stand for my NS WAV4 and that’s it. I haven’t bought a bass, or anything else bass related (excluding the end pin stand), since Sept 23! 😢

I’d have to organise an overnight stay somewhere, it’s way too far for me to drive in one day now.

September ‘23 for me. I bought a classical guitar in early ‘24, but that’s it. It’s not like I don’t have GAS at all, far from it, but my will power is much improved. Well, that and being in the middle of nowhere, with no bass outlets less that a 90 minute drive, each way. There’s a Maruszczyk fretless P type at @Bass Direct that has caught my eye ( https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/maruszczyk-jake-4p-fretless-red-trans-gloss/ ), but that’s a 10 hour round trip drive at least (I have trade ins I’d need to do) and I’m also tempted by one of those SBMM Ray2s. Still 3 weeks to go to fall off of the wagon .

Blinded by the Light - Bruce Springsteen

Name for a band - Paddington & the Hard Stares In this thread it could become Saddington…

The Pusher - Steppenwolf

Beyond the end pin stand for my EUB (tier 2 fair at best) I have bought nothing you can actually play. This means at least 2 years without any new instruments. What is wrong with me? 🥺
