Had the day off and went to the local music store. They gave me a practice room and let me try some stuff out. Here’s what I bought! Yes, it’s for a bass, but it sounded SO much better than the stuff that was there for guitars and it was 2-3x cheaper. Now I just have to find a place to be noisy.

My bow was weird though, I wonder if it was the humidity affecting the rosin, it felt kind of mushy. The part I didn’t mention was the spontaneous/random/serendipitous/divine shopping trip at guitar center with the Violet Burning on Tuesday. Michael, Chris and Lenny (via phone) removed some of the mystery of preamps, pickups and otherwise inferior equipment. I guess I’ll have to try to get a hold of Black Cherry if I ever want bass pointers. Yes, Rob, Julio, the mexican fender is still sitting here beckoning me. I pick him up sometimes. […]
