Why I have so many basses

answering the query at talkbass, I said:

1. Inspiration;

2. Too lazy to re-sell;

3. Drunk shopping; and, 

4. Trying to catch up to my guitars.

some Covid observations

had court downtown today

crowd = about 25% of usual pre-pandemic, altho’ traffic was heavy going in at 8:00 AM

courthouse has sign “masks must be worn”

all sheriffs had masks, some below their nose or chin but not when close to people

90% lawyers, etc. had masks.

room 2005 said “must have mask”, all 30 in but 1 wore them

judge came out, no mask but she said they were optional

everyone took them off, no one sat close – good distancing

at buddies’ office they said B building is only 30% occupied

they renewed in January with a $5/foot decrease in rent, 12 months locked with 3 months notice, price good 3 years

down the hall a guy a cuppla months before Covid signed a 10 year leas with a discount for the 10 years – he’s paying more/ft then they

went to 1st Nat’l Bank food court, mebbe 200 people, only workers had masks and not all did

not great distancing as some 4 tops were filled, people 3′ apart

some pedals

EHX LPB-1, got it cheap because I was curious – it’s actually a really nice clean boost that can sound great in front of another dirt pedal without changing that pedal’s sound, kinda like s transparent stacker to drive a dirt pedal or boost a front end.

Chgo Stompworks Beef – a Red Llama clone, a nice flava of overdrive with edge, cool graffix

Heavy Electronics El Oso – a bass overdrive, can thicken nicely, can be clean or dirty but always adds bottom

MXR Fat Sugar – a Klone, said to be the same as the Sugar drive but in standard size – awesome pink metallic finish

T-Rex Quint – a really nice envelope filter, for guitar or bas – I mean really nice, doesn’t volume-spike too bad and can be fairly subtle to fairly effected

EHX Green Russian (Alchemy Audio mod) – has a midrange knob added to it like the Wren and Cuff version, but also has a side bright switch.

RIP, Tom Verlaine

So sad.

I’ve been a fan since the song, “Marquee Moon”.

I think I paid $2.99 for the Television album (still have it).

The remaster of that and the second are great, third album awesome, and I’ve collected 7-8 solo records, some with Jimmy Ripp, including a live one with TV songs. And a bootleg or 3 …

I really have a thing for that era of CBGB/Max’s Kansas City stuff, and sometimes try and cop those vibes myself, (even T-Heads, but can’t do Blondie).

Like Dylan, he named hisself after a fave writer.
