Nick will be seeing Neil Young at the Hop Farm Festival in July. This is a new one-day festival promoted by Vince Power which will be held at the Hop Farm at Paddock Wood, Kent.
The Obviously 5 Believers CD
The new Obviously 5 Believers CD is now available. Eleven tracks of sonic wonderfulness. If you have ever wondered what a drummer playing one-handed-banjo sounds like then this is the CD for you.
SOS Bass Tuner
I used to use a floor pedal tuner to keep my bass in tune, however since discovering the Planet Waves SOS Bass tuner, that is the only tuner I use.
Once you’re used to it, it is very quick and easy to use. It is suitable for 4, 5 & 6 string basses (B,E,A,D,G,C) and accurate tuning can be achieved silently.
NS-Design CR5M
If anyone is wondering what instrument I’m playing in the photo, it is my NS-Design CR5M.
The CR5M is a five string electric upright bass designed by Ned Steinberger and manufactured in the Czech republic . It has both piezo and magnetic pickups and uses NS5FL strings made by D’Addario.
