Project Complete!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Well, I finished fixing up my new bass. Here it is. I will be playing it this weekend at church. 

I replaced the pickguard with a black one and changed the volume and tone knobs. I also added some strap locks to secure my strap. 

The "Love" sticker was included in a sticker pack I ordered from TWLOHA a while back and I haven't been able to find a good place to put it....until now at least. I think it looks pretty cool. What do you think? 

Keep it or lose it? 

My new project!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

So a friend of mine called me yesterday to tell me he was interested in purchasing one of my guitars (The one in the header on the left). Being that I am not really much of an electric guitar player and my friend has played it more than me, I decided to sell it to him. I immediately thought of a bass I had seen at a pawn shop near my house a few months back. I had fallen in love with it when I saw it but didn't have the money to pay for it. Well now I do so here it is. 

 

For those of you who know about guitars/basses and know me, you know I have been wanting this particular model for quite a while. I do, however, have some work to do on it. It needs some hardware replaced as well as some cleaning up. I really wish MAE was open this late so I wouldn't have to wait for tomorrow to go get the parts. I won't go into details but I'll post the picture of the finished product when I'm done. Peace for now!

P.S.

GO TENNESSEE AND GO FINS!

I Caved!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

Sorry I have been gone for so long. I hope there is still someone alive out there in mindofbert land!

So I finally did it and I caved and bought the bass I have been wanting. Check it out.

It is a Fender Mike Dirnt Precision Bass!

For those who don't know, Mike Dirnt is the Bassist for Green Day. If you don't know who Green Day is then I can't help you. Now I am not even a little bit of a Green Day Fan or much less a Mike Dirnt fan and I have seen this bass many times but didn't really fall in love with it until I saw Deon Rexroat playing it. Deon is the bassist for a band called Anberlin who I absolutely love! I researched it, played it and it sounded even sweeter than it looked. It has been on my wish list for quite a while now but I couldn't resist any longer. Fortunately I had some money left over from my stimulus check (Thanks George Bush...I think). So I called up my good friend Jeffrey D. and he hooked it up. Thanks man!

I have this poster hanging in my room. My friend Martin gave it to me a while back. He said he got it because it had the bassist I love, the Bass I love, the band I love and it advertises an organization I love

Heredes insists it needs an Heredes.com sticker....ummm we'll talk later, H!

Bass Debut!

Hello Fellow Bloggers...

One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to look up song covers of my favorite bands as played by other people. I literally can sit in front of the computer for hours playing song after song. I have found that it's good practice and a great way to learn songs. Well, yesterday I was searching YouTube for a bass cover of a mute math song called typical. I had no luck, so I decided to be the first. So without further due, here is my YouTube bass debut. Enjoy!
