Tuesday - March 6

March 6...MARCH 6?!?!? When the heck did that happen?

Gentle reader, in the words of America's Bardess, Ms. Britney Spears, "Oops, I did it again." I seem to have accidentally purchased a new bass.



She's pretty, from Mexico (how exotic) and quite a value. I did put some new strings on her as she came with Round Wound and they were a bit zingy so I slapped on a set of Flat Wounds.

I also ordered not one but two pairs of headphones, but have since cancelled that order. I did a fair bit of online research and settled on a brand and model. After placing the order (and them taking my money) I was informed that the items were on back order and it would be 'a couple weeks' before they shipped. I thought nothing of it and waited with my usual patience. February turned to March and I wrote to inquire as to the disposition of my order. Again I was told that it would probably be 'a couple weeks'. The totality of my patience spent, I politely requested that they cancel my order and refund my money. Would anyone care to hazard a guess as to how long they say it will be until the funds are back in my coffers? (*answer at the bottom of this post)

So, once again I must delve into the virtual world to read up on headphones to find a suitable alternative.

Now, I hear you asking, "Rimshot, why two sets?" A reasonable query. Because Brother SPidER and I are doing some recording, some of which will be done at separate locations. In order to have a consistent mix, it behooves us to have the same equipment. I shan't bore you with the technical details.

Anyhootle... I hope you're well, I shall do my best to be a better and more consistent blogger.

More soon!
