    My name is Simon Farrell and I’m based in Dublin Ireland.
    I play upright bass with a number of rockabilly and psychobilly bands as well as playing sessions in some of the studios here, whenever a visiting band needs a sort-of bass player B)

    Shark baits awesome, just saw pics of your bass, what kind of bass is that and did you paint it yourself? the green looks awesome.

    Don’t forget your stint in the Blue Moon Boys Simon!

    The colour is ‘Porsche Green’ apparently… The bass was painted in flames by a drummer friend of mine who once had a vague notion about getting into custom basses… he did two of mine before deciding it was too much like hard work…

    He also re-inforced the body with wooden dowels, steel pins and tons of filler… it destroyed the acoustic tone, but now it will support the weight of two grown men, which can be just as important in a rockabilly band 😉

    Yes geoff I was a proud member of the Blue Moon Boys Irish Drinking Team, around that time I also did a short tour with Pep Torres.

    Well it looks great, I want to get something painted on mine really soon but im pretty paranoid that it will turnout bad and I wont be happy with it, think I will just have to bite the bullet and find a good artist and see what happens.
