-as of [16 JUNE 2025]-
.

i began recording bass parts with magic dan’s borrowed bass in fall 2005…
(direct-input through preamp)…
for a punchier drier sound than i would attain through an amp (according to joe bell)…
because i didn’t have a bass amp (until i got hold of sean connell’s ampeg via riff sometime in 2009)…
riff brought it over to the watchung basement so we could rehearse there…
i ended up pawning the amp in 2012 down the jersey shore.
then i started running my guitar through my boss ME-50 with a -1 octave pedal to record bass parts for “tabula rasa”…
in 2009, i borrowed my younger cousin nicholas crowley’s rogue “baby” bass to record basslines…
.

.
nowadays i record my basslines with emma wolin’s ibanez gio soundgear bass guitar…
she brought it to watchung one night but i’ve never heard her play…
i even offered to give it back to her in summer 2011 (just so i could see her again)…
but she texted back “you can drop it on the back porch and that’s it”…
so i said that it was destroyed in a fire…
never heard back from her…
