Bass Porn for Today

This is a double bonus, because it's both a beautiful instrument and it originates from a local luthier, GW Basses from Grandon Westlund, the "Bass Kahuna."

Ents love this bass.

I love this particular model for a couple reasons. First, it looks like it could come from a Tolkien forest. Second, I'm a sucker for the single cutaway design. Not only does it seems like more body mass (which in turn usually equals better tone), but something about the body shape just works for me.

I help inform well, or something.

New York Magazine recently took some time to consider Indianapolis (beyond wishing Reggie Miller had chosen to do something else with those storied 8.9 seconds) and decided that Indianapolismusic.net (and the podcast) should be lauded as "well-informed." For that, I say thanks. Thanks for making me have to spend so many more hours justifying that quote. Gotta hit the books now. Feh.

In my pew, ready for the @Mike_Doughty_ show at Irving Theater. More venues should use cheap & efficient pew seating. http://t.co/KkneTce3 2 days ago
I should note that the previous tweet's feedback loops concerned user feedback, not audio feedback. I've never known wikis to blow speakers. 3 days ago
