My brother G and his girlfriend Kat's newborn baby. He was born on October 16th 2008, and only two days old here.
He's a little bit older now.

Possibly one of the most exciting things about holidays, is hunting down the space invaders.

We had an unexpected Champagne Cruise, due to the Eurostar exploding (long story).

The Eiffel tower, which was far far bigger than I ever expected.

We visited the Louvre for a day, which was far too gigantic to get around in a single day.

Eli and I spent a week in Paris a little while ago - having never been there before, myself.
Things of note:
a] There appeared to be cafés named after me.
b] I made friends with a particularly detailed looking fly, so had my photo taken with it (look closely).
c] Eli found a rock.
d] Artoyz is my favourite shop in France - I bought a glow in the dark DIY Munny.

Moogerfooger bass murf

I recently treated myself to one of the finest (in my opinion) bass effects pedals available - the MoogerFooger Bass MuRF. Here's how it is described in the instruction manual: 'It contains two basic functions: a 7-band array of resonant bandpass filters, a shelving (lowpass) filter and an “Animation” module that generates sequences of envelopes that modulate the levels of the 8 filters.' It basically creates arpeggios from an input signal and pushes them through filters. It's very synthy and un-digital, which is right up my alley.
Anyway, along with the cool sounds it makes, it also has four additional input jack sockets on the back that can have expression pedals inserted in to control four of the pedal's main functions - Rate, Mix, Envelope and LFO/Sweep. This got me thinking that you could potentially have four expression pedals all connected to the MuRF doing different things; and also that you probably wouldn't ever use all of them at once. So I built a pedal/switch that could take the output of a single expression pedal and output it to the four separate inputs on the MuRF, with a rotary switch to select which one is currently in use.
I haven't tried it yet, as I don't have an expression pedal, but fingers crossed it *should* work. Here it is:

Bass modifications ...

I had my Fender Jazz modified to look truly 70's in style with white pearl block inlays on the frets. When I bought the bass back in 2005 I was really looking for an original 1970's one, and even went as far as buying one (which turned out to be a little too far gone than I had hoped). That one was a 1977, all black with maple neck and white pearl block inlays on the neck, but soon got sold on for a small loss when I decided I would buy a brand new one and put my own wear on it over the next however many years.
But anyway, I still get a little jealous seeing other basses with the block inlays, so thought I would go about finding a respectable Luthier that could fit some into my bass. A lot of people suggested I should simply replace the neck with a ready-inlaid licensed replacement or something, but that wasn't what this was about - I wanted to keep the bass as original as possible as I have grown quite attached to it over the last few years/tours.
I was recommended Knight Guitars, Surrey, on one of the forums and went with them. They turned it around within a week, had very reasonable prices and were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Here are the results ...
