2024 Highlights:
Finished B2B, except the slap module and Billie %#$€ Jean!
Played in front of the public twice in my covers band (also think it was a major achievement that we weathered the loss our our guitarist early summer - musical differences - and found a great replacement in Sept)
Learnt and recorded 110 covers (I’ve basically been posting 2 a week, plus some bonus tracks. It’s been a great learning experience and I listen to songs in a completely different way now.
Only had three songs (so far) blocked by YouTube for copy-write issues
I’ve started to find basses I like (the Dingwall, my Hohner Professional, the pink Ibanez EHB1000S) and those I don’t (Spector, I’m talking about you…)
2025 Goals:
Play in public again, and again, and again!
Get the covers band to a set list of 30 songs
Keep up the personal covers cadence
Learn Billie Jean
Complete the slap module
Stretch myself with a couple of the more approachable Duran2 songs
Buy a p bass (but not a Fender)
Buy some basses to trade, to help fund the habit!!
