Funsized king of the world. :)

Very nearly sold out of these. Get in quick - 25 albums for £25. See http://music.stevelawson.net/merch - also inc. 45 min live video + my novel, Rock and Roll Is Dead. :)

solobasssteve

Been playing my Rick Turner Renaissance 5 string fretless a lot of late. This bass is tragically underused. Will record it soon :)

Flapjack, faster than a speeding bullet. @julieslick in hot pursuit, just out of shot :)

Today's pedal selection, and the 1st outing for the @pedaltrain :) ( @jimdunlopusa @MarkbassAmps @darkglasselectronics )

2 drum mics, 3 channels of Trombone, stereo bass. #improv with @murphym & Andy Edwards for forthcoming album :)

solobasssteve

Think it's time to replace the wheels on my @SKBMusicCases flyer rack case. Thank god for the million mile warranty. This case is still one of the best music gear purchases I've ever made. Love it :)

#TBT from Jan 2005 with @jeffschmidt at my first California one day bass Masterclass. The template for @beyondbasscamp

Exporting a pedal demo video I filmed this morning. An intro to the 5 that are currently in use in my rack set-up. Individual videos coming soon. #darkglass #MXR #Markbass

solobasssteve

Currently enjoying the best bass sound I've ever had thanks to these, all in the FX loop on my Lexicon... Making me want to practice more and more :) #MXR #Markbass #Darkglass

New @jimdunlopusa volume pedal! After 15 years of (often v squeaky) service, I've retired my old volume pedal, and v happily replaced it with this chunk of awesomeness :)

solobasssteve

Relearning how to play Maj chords with an added 2nd on fretless, in positions where I can't rely on harmonics or open strings to bail me out. #practice

solobasssteve

Proper base coat - colour - top coat nail varnishing done. Looks proper lovely :) #BarryM

"blinded by the liiiiight..."

solobasssteve

My pedals really deserve something better than an iPad case as a pedal board :) #MXR # Darkglass #Markbass

Photo by @andylong of this afternoon's Masterclass in Swansea, me playing a bit of lap steel bass while dressed as "Morpheus going through a bit of an ill-advised Status Quo phase" Good times :)

And finally... Iguanadon steals apple juice. Hey! Iguanadon't, Dinoloser!

solobasssteve

Just built this. Purely for Flapjack, of course. I absolutely did not enjoy it :)

solobasssteve

VERY excited about today's delivery from @darkglasselectronics! #HappySteve #overdrive #VintageMicrotubes @Darkglassgear

#TBT Just in case anyone was wondering whether my dress sense was always this bad... Here's a resounding YES from about 1989...

solobasssteve

Professor Flapjack finds a hat he had when he was a baby, puts it on, takes selfie :)

solobasssteve

Every tube station has one of this up at the moment. #RIPBobCrow #ThereIsPowerInAUnion

I was going to really enjoy these chips, but I couldn't tell if the potato was a man or a woman. #ChippyTuesday #IfChipshopsWereYoutube

solobasssteve

Saving money AND avoiding the college's shitty filter coffee :) #ThermosWin

solobasssteve

Visited @bassgallery today for the 1st time in way-too-long. Martin Peterson is a v. nice man and a *genius* luthier.

solobasssteve

Very long overdue catch-up with the ever-brilliant & inspirational @DameEvelyn, doubling as my Dr Who assistant :)

solobasssteve

Surrounded by composers. What a lovely day this is going to be :) @soundandmusic

solobasssteve

Wizard-hooves in London :)

solobasssteve

More NAMM pics - @diviroxx & @antonellabass jamming on the @MarkbassAmps stand. The funk abides.

solobasssteve

#vinylmemories Still my favourite @marilliononline album, though I gather it was a tricky one to make ;)

solobasssteve

Fixing the engine on a Dodge'em, @acratsband stylee :)

solobasssteve

Coffee, chocolate milk & cake with Professor Flapjack at Kitchen Garden Cafe :)

solobasssteve

Pedal selection for tonight's gig. It's an #MXR kind of Vibe today, with the ever-present #Markbass overdrives & KMI Softstep + Dunlop volume pedal. Amazing sounds :)

solobasssteve

#TBT from the promo shoot with my first post-college gig, 1993. I haven't changed a bit ;)

solobasssteve

Getting an early morning dinosaur lesson from Professor Flapjack :)

solobasssteve

Yesterday's pedal selection for college - #Markbass mini distance, #MXR bass chorus deluxe, @aguilaramp Aggro, #Looperlative LP2, #AMT volume + exp. pedals :)

solobasssteve

#vinylmemories here's @theperfectfoil's I Predict 1990 - a great record from a time when almost all of his contemporaries were making *awful* records. Still holds up :)

solobasssteve

Budget day! Hoping for justice & compassion for the poor, but expecting a crop of new #Torycore lyrics (2/3rds of #Torycore with @alexwebsterbass)

solobasssteve

One of my favourite things from NAMM in January - the @Darkglassgear pedals. Incredible overdrives. Looking forward to spending more time with them!

solobasssteve

#vinylmemories The early/mid 90s involved me going through a bit of a major @freshnet (Tom Robinson) obsession. Such a brilliant songwriter and now a great friend and continued source of inspiration :)

solobasssteve

#vinylmemories The greatest anti-monarchy pop song ever written. Such great memories of dancing to this in Roxanne's in Perth, loving life and hating the royals :)

solobasssteve

The @CrimsonProjeKCt in London last Wednesday. Genuinely one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Tony Levin & @julieslick on the same stage!! Crazy greatness.

solobasssteve

#vinylmemories The album that changed rock, invented grunge and sparked a lifelong obsession with everything dUg, Ty & Jerry have done since. Life-defining music.

solobasssteve

One day he'll stop stealing my look. Totes needs a wizard cost though ;)

solobasssteve

@AlexCannibal look who I found at the Musikmesse! :) ( @conquerdystopia )

solobasssteve

Look! It's @TheLitCritGuy! The actual Lit Critical Guy out off of Twitter. And he's very nice indeed :)

solobasssteve

#vinylmemories - I stole this off my high school. It was the first bit of chamber music that connected with me on the same level as rock/prog/jazz. Astonishing. #messiaenFTW

solobasssteve

More #vinylmemories - when this came out, I asked my mum for a #Hojo haircut. 15 years later I toured Europe in his band, playing the soundtrack to my youth :)

Today's #vinylmemories : I think this was the first jazz album I ever bought. Steve Berry, Trio. It's wonderful. :)

Instead of choosing things & paying for them, you do interpretive dance & in return receive a new word to use. #NewShopping #WankyMarketingBullshit #CapitalistSmokescreen

Another day at the coalface :)

solobasssteve

With @DA_AgapeSoul - I 1st saw him play in 1990 w/@charliepeacock. 24 years later, he's a great friend & bass inspiration. Was fabulous to get time to hang at the London Bass Guitar Show.

solobasssteve

. @bassguitarshow wouldn't be the same without @YoBassCharles. Bassist/singer/MD/songwriter - world class at all of them.

solobasssteve

Leland Sklar - easily in my top 5 favourite bassists ever. Effortless groove, taste, charm & creative brilliance.

$Victor Brandt from @theentombed and I are more metal than you. And he's more metal than me :) \mm/$

Listening to @TheFrankBello be the 1st rock star in history to tell an audience he learned music to AVOID drugs & getting laid. #respect

solobasssteve

Now @YoBassCharles & @robkharris getting seriously funky, sans drums. Amazing.

solobasssteve

The @bassguitarshow has started. Chloe & Kat kicking things off at Elixir

Intrepid @baby_flapjack, taking after neither of his parents :)

solobasssteve

... So that's a nice thing to say. Thanks v much @bassguitarmag :)

solobasssteve

This also happened today - all 10 of my solo albums for a tenner. Includes the new one, not out on its own it next week. Head over to http://music.stevelawson.net/merch to find it :)

solobasssteve

Me and @thisistherealJT. On the same page. He's one of the reasons I chose bass when I was 13. :)

solobasssteve

Meeting a man at the Station with impeccable taste (listening to me and @colfaxsound as I walked past :) )

solobasssteve

Anyone here speak Italian? My 2nd magazine thing of the day, this time in Strumenti Musicali

Buying a mag with me on the cover. #NoShame ( @bassguitarshow )
