TheBassist.co.uk - for the bass guitarist

Coming soon, a new version of TheBassist.co.uk - a growing resource of bass guitar related information.

A growing site about all things bass: bass guitars, bass combos, amps & cabs, bass effects & pedals, bass cases, and more as well as some practical bass playing guides - so please visit again soon. For starters, there is some useful buying advice information about bass guitars, bass amps and bass cabs for those with less experience with bass gear or looking for an objective opinion.

Face-to-face or one-to-one online bass guitar tuition

If you want to learn to play the bass guitar or improve your current ability and understanding, I offer bass guitar lessons face-to-face (dependent on Covid situation) in the Truro and mid Cornwall areas*, or online via Zoom or Teams. Tuition is tailored to suit your goals (play with mates, join a band, improve a particular aspect of your playing, grades etc.) and style, for all ages and levels. I have over 25 year's playing and teaching experience in both London and Cornwall and am an actively gigging musician with local bands & artists (see video clip below to get an idea of my playing). For an informal chat about where you want to go with your playing, lesson availability etc., please e-mail your name and number via the form below and I will contact you as soon as I can. More info on this coming soon :)
(* Face to face bass guitar tution is based in Truro, within easy reach of Falmouth, Newquay, Hayle, St Austell, Redruth, Camborne, mid-Cornwall, etc.)

More bass stuff to come soon!

Here is an example of my playing, jamming some funky blues with a "scratch" band at a Jam-Pact "Take 2" night at The Duke Of York Pub in Surbiton a few years ago. The other musicians are:
Vocals/Guitar: Rik Martin (Rik Martin Band)
Harp: Alan Glen (Yardbirds, Nine Below Zero)
Drums: Chris Nugent (Marcus Malone Band)
