Latest news from Snowy Wycombe!
Big hi to everyone out there in Blogland!
Not in the best of moods from last Thursday - a delay in a pay rise until December plus an 'adjusted' bonus at the end of the year?! Company just taking the Michael out of me. That's put me on a downer for a few days, but hey, I'm alive and in good shape (except for aching muscles!).
Looking forward to the release of Rachel, Casbah Club's and The Who's works when they are set free. I hope Rachel will be doing more live shows in the near future - I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms from the Basement Jam!
I was looking forward to saving MY MONEY! (in case my managers are looking!!) for a new camera, a new bass and cabinets. Camera is going to be a Nikon D70s with 18-70 and 70-300mm Nikkor lenses; the bass is an Alembic Mark King Standard, only £2,600 at the Bass Gallery in Camden. It has come down by £400 since Decemeber (I popped in before the Basement Jam! Played like butta!! Stanley Clarke eat your heart out!) Amplifiers and cabs will be rack-mount Ashdown pre-amp / crossover / power sections plus 4x10 and 1x15 cabinets.
That should allocate all THE MONEY (!) I am owed...
..I'll take a straight swap for the cash if the company feels morbidly guilty about their treatment!!
Take care Peeps!!

Hi Ben
You're quick to write, true to your word.
Sorry to learn about the financial matters, it would be great if you could get the beautiful bass and camera right now.
Remarkable that your priorities are practically the same as mine if I were in your shoes: music (guitar, not bass) and photography (I own my ideal camera, Nikon coolpix 8400, but tomorrow may be different).
The music shop around the corner has the Brian Setzer orange Gretsch on offer: €4000. I'll let that one pass, my girlfriend hates orange ;-)
I hope you find a band to play in very soon. Making music is important, I think.
Wonder if you'd like to come and hear what music I compose using GarageBand, the Apple software, and a midi keyboard. You find it by following the link to 'My home made music' on my blog page.
We'll meet again,
Koos
