A photo of a small bass guitar amp with a bass guitar leaning against it, and a novel sitting in front. The amp is an Orange Crush Bass 25 and has a black mesh on the front with the rest of it being the customary bright orange colour. The guitar is a Yamaha BB434 and the body fades from black around the edges into a dark rich orange/red wood in the middle. The book is a sci-fi novel "Empire of Silence" by Christopher Ruocchio.

Birthday loot! 😁 The book was a surprise gift from @yayKM, the reviews are glowing so I'll definitely be starting that next when I finish my current book. And I've gotten the bass all nicely wall-mounted already. Very excited to start learning it, I've heard very good things about the Bassbuzz course (https://www.bassbuzz.com/lessons/beginner) from LOTS of people so I'm going to start with that.

A photo of a big shallow bowl that has warm fig and date pudding that's in the shape of a muffin, sitting on top of a butterscotch sauce. Next to it is a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with a sliced piece of strawberry on top.

And now we finished everything off with Greek! It's just so consistently excellent.

Drums and chords and bass

First recording with my new bass guitar! 😁 The Orange Crush Bass 25 amp I have doesn't have a direct output but it DOES have a headphone jack with a speaker cabinet sim built in, so I plugged it into the audio interface and recorded through that. This is the same song I posted back in December (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/2232) but with a shiny new bass track now. It's definitely a different feeling strumming with your fingers versus doing it with a pick like I do on the regular guitar.
