This interactive scale of the universe is both fascinating and humbling. I could spend hours looking at it…
I’ve spent far too long messing about with the Novation Bass Station VST recently. I’ve got a long weekend of gigs with The White Keys coming up, so as an experiment I’ll be taking my laptop and MIDI keyboard with me to see how it comes across in a live situation. YEAH!
(I also need to find a way to make the above statement convey as much excitement as I feel, but it probably sounds just a bit dull… Oh well. IT’S EXCITING TO ME OK?)
Normally I’d run my bass through a Boss OC-2 and an Electro-Harmonix Micro Synth to recreate that synth bass sound (it usually sounds like this), but the EHX pedal is in dire need of repair. These past couple of days have been a good opportunity to brush up on my keyboard skills - hopefully I won’t murder the tunes!
Just heard the news that Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn passed away last night at the age of 70. One of my biggest influences as a bassist - glad I got to see him perform with Steve Cropper & Eddie Floyd last year. RIP Duck, you will be missed by music lovers the world over.
This should be a special night, so I’m promoting it early: Thom Cross live at the 100 Club, Friday 8th June. Put it in the diary!
