Fender Mustang bass with Ono-Sendai sticker.
For a very limited engagement (one gig) I will be the bass player in a band, which means I get to use this bad boy in anger.

Huh, PRS finally made a guitar I'd actually consider buying… uk.prsguitars.com/electrics/m...
I have awoken with Sheriff Fatman going round and round my brain on repeat.

You don't need to be competent. It's the interweb. Just post the good take.
Cover of Prog 2464 of 2000AD
Today's escapism: a tale of unregulated law enforcement summarily executing people in a place that used to be America.
I miss when #2000AD was fiction.
So Des said a thing, which made me fish out the blue meanie, which needed new strings putting on it, which needed stretching in, which led to this.

"'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…. except the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation."
Probably third in the all-time list of guitarists I've nicked riffs from. RIP, sir.

A Hello Kitty x Squier Stratocaster in pink.
For almost exactly a year I have owned this wonderful thing. But… it's strictly one in, one out at the moment and it never got played enough to warrant its spot on the rack so it's off to a new home later.
I may have seller's remorse. 😿

Close up of the body of a Jet Guitars JS-400 7-string
I am sorely tempted by these Jet 7-strings (because cheap, also non-pointy) and I have zero qualms about the super simple control scheme… but if you only have two controls on a chug-box why put them so unbelievably close together?

BBC News screengrab about the possibility of “thundersnow”
I can't work out if "Thundersnow" should be an early 80s show about a one-off AI milspec snowcat and it's ex-cop-turned-vigilante driver OR the next Roland Emmerich disaster B-movie…
either way, I'm available to write the theme tune
#thundersnow
You're all moaning now, but shonky DNS will be the thing that saves us from the AI apocalypse. Mark my words.
Gibson SG with vibrola
Close up of shonky nut
First time I've bought myself a factory-fresh Gibson… and it has one of the worst cut nuts I've EVER seen. String spacing is wonky (D & G too close together), the D binds and the low E buzzes in its slot.
In the case were QC cards from both Gibson and Andertons. Good job, everyone! 😂

Bluuuue
A new Pebble 2 Duo watch.
That this exists as a real thing in the real world makes me incredibly happy. #Pebble
The Parker Fly is still my dream guitar.
RIP Ken Parker, you mad genius.

Some loose parts of a Stratocaster guitar positioned as if assembled.
A non-functioning pile of parts with vague potential. (But enough about me, here's a guitar I'm putting together.)

Have been working on a tune for about 6 months, rehearsed it dozens of times, and only now (while trying to configure a click track to record it) have we discovered that no-one really agrees where the 1 is.
Holiday must have been a success because I appear to have forgotten _everything_ about my job.
Blue skies and beach umbrellas.
Up.
I should definitely be asleep.
DAME HANNAH HAMPTON.
Is this thing on?
Halfway down this BBC article is a quote that struck me:
"The Holocaust has filled us all with a high sense of guilt, and so it should because we were complicit. But it also teaches us the lesson that we mustn't be complicit now when we see crimes being committed."

Well, this is fun.

Noooo. Not Jill Sobule.
Apple Health just notified me that my VO₂ max stat has changed from "Below Average" to "Above Average" this month… despite zero change in my levels of exercise.
It turns out the secret to my newfound vigour is the "average" changes quite drastically the moment you turn 50.
