I'm back after a very long break! Heres what I've been up to & what this year has in store for myself & bass playing career https://www.phillcourtmusic.com/single-post/2019/01/13/Bassicly-Speaking-September-2018---January-2019

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2018?

Damm 😂 Second thoughts then... a really nice wide leather strap I found in a local music store! -

Best - Got to be my Overwater Custom (bought it but haven't picked it up yet) Worst - Due to a mixup with many string manufacturers/companies a tonne of strings which I know I will never use 👍 It's been a good year though! -
I've always read dots, sightread & charts from nn early age. In my experience the only times I've actually used them is working in the pits, cruises & my own teaching practice. Even doing sessions they normally use give me a chart or tell me the basic structure. It's a great skill to have, but it's use is sadly declining (for me and players I know)

My custom Overwater will be ready to pick up in the new year!!!!

Good news! My ear is working again!! Still ave to have another op but I can hear 😁
-
I've been very quiet as of late. I've gone profoundly deaf in the right ear due to an infection & have not gigged or undertook any music work in weeks. I've got an exploitative operation tomorrow & my first gig in months Saturday. Look after your ear health.

Went to the Welsh premiere of Bohemian Rhapsody last Wednesday, really enjoyed it too. A few inconsistencies but overall thourougly enjoyed it 👍
-
Great week recording in Weston! Managed to get some articles, remote sessions & plenty of pints done too 😁 back to flooded Wales tomorrow & a new student starting

I've had 30+ in the past but I'm really cutting it back to a custom "Pingray" fiver, old jazz a fretless & my upright. I think they will cover 99.9% of anything I'd have to cover. I do have regrets selling a few but I suppose that's life 😔

I'm sort of in the boat with the changes between rounds & flats for different gigs.. Getting really bad blisters from rounds at the moment. John Deacon can be seen licking his fingers before different passages live quite a few times. Although never nose grease, I do occasionally moisten my fingers just a little bit to "ease the pain" I always change strings on pre owned instruments you don't know where they've been 😂
-
This is next level! The relicing & yellowing are truly fabulous 👌
-
Sounds like a great setup aDx! Always found Cort basses to have a nice fundamental sound to them 👍
-
John Deacon Feature in the next issue of BGM by Mike Brooks!! Can't wait to give it a read 😁
-
I think so too, I'm only a dep so I think I'll have a word with the band first.
-
Played with a Manic Street Preachers & Stereophonics tribute band on Saturday. Decent crowd, good band (old boys) but the singer was a bit off. Would start tracks on his own, chop & change the set as we went. I'm depping with them again next month, fingers crossed he doesn't do that again.

My home from home studio for 7 days while working in Weston 👌 going to get a lot of work done on sessions, tracks & articles 🤞I hope!!
-
Packing up for a week long recording session in sunny Weston-super Mare 😂

I was in awe all the way through! really enjoyed it 😁
-
Depping with The Manic-Phonic Experience tonight . Picture from the last 2-Tone Tribute Tour. What a way to end the run!
