Shockingly, we do still manage to get a lot done despite our tendency to goof off quite a bit. We truly enjoy each other, and we have a blast no matter the task.

New bass? New photos!
First studio photos with my new, customized Fender Precision 5-string bass. Much thanks to @dgomes818419 on Instagram for suggesting that I name it ‘Ehukai (Hawaiian word for sea spray). Now that this bass is all set up and ready to go, I’m looking forward to using it at a recording session next week, and then we’ll be busy with quite a few gigs coming up.

New tribute project
I recently started rehearsing with a new tribute project (and it’s a band that’s always been on my wish list). I’m putting together my wardrobe for an upcoming video shoot and a few shows. I had to get crafty with a fabric pen in order to recreate one of the clothing items worn by the bassist I am portraying (since the Interwebs seem to indicate that this item is no longer available).
Quiz Question: Which bassist is known for wearing these wristbands?
