Dr Funk - Purple Blaze

So this bass is the first ever Dr Funk Signature bass by ‪@bassworks_luthiery‬ that I'll be using from now on and it's an absolute beauty, just listen to it. If you are interested in purchasing one of these one of a kind basses, click on the tag ‪@bassworks_luthiery‬ speak to Bruce and start customising your own Dr Funk Signature bass.
This one is meant to be a Jimi Hendrix cover of purple haze but I changed it so much that it now sounds completely nothing like the original haha.
I have arrived in the USA and this session was from last Sunday when I went busking on Huntington Beach next to the pier. This Saturday I'm gonna go to Venice Beach Boulevard and see how I get on so if you're around, come and hang out.
I'm really enjoying California but I just need to get my driving licence then I'll be able to do some solo gigs which I'm working on.
I have recorded a HQ video with a band when I first got here that we are going to use for a promotional video to get gigs with. The band will showcase my album that I released in 2023. If you want to check it out, It's called Energy In Motion Like by Dr Funk and it is on all streaming platforms.
If you could all head on over to my other social media pages too and give them a follow, it would mean a lot, thank you!

The J4-24 Dr Funk premium signature model (nicknamed the “Shelby” after Jonny’s favourite car, the Ford Mustang) is customisable to your preferences including cool colours such as this in Dark New Highland Green (metallic satin) OR any other colour of your choice. If you like you can have Jonny’s signature engraved in the back of the headstock and you can either have, or delete, the subtle Dr Funk branding on the front of the headstock.

@@DrFunkBass whilst I have protected the fingers on your left hand with those semi-hemispherical fret ends and a vintage “rolled”fretboard edge…. There’s literally nothing I can do to protect your right thumb. Except…. Send you some more gaffer tape! 😂

[@spazzymacgee5648]

The Dr at his birth place. You must have been buzzing dude. Sexy new bass too

[@DrFunkBass]

Yeah mate gonna be here a while so it'd be great to see ya

[@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465]

Purple Punch blazing 4 u !. Sounds good man, sounds clearer and in between your syncopations. You seem a little faster than before, yeah definitely. Sounds trippy bro !.
You are smoking that bass. What do you got for your thumb ?. I need something tooo.. I stopped slapping so much cause my thumb is just quitting on me.
Started doing a lot more melodies n stuff. I need to get back to slappy time, I still stop when my thumb is ready to explode. I don't really allow it to do that, I have used tape sometimes just some tape works fine. We can jam like right now, that would be awesome we can like go back and fourth !. ''
Everyone is so uptight about jamming with people, I can tell you are like cool with it. You look like you have experienced a large drum circle before in your life. I used to look exactly like you at one time, like almost. Now I look more like a cop except I'm not, I'm pretending to look like a cop. Nobody arrests me anymore, but I'm less cool now. I look like the guy at the party and everyone is like oh God, hide the stuff the DEA is here. Trust me, it's not worth it over here to stand out in the crowd because the police are like a fascist tyranny. They do illegal search seizures on people who look like they are free spirits. If you look like a dork, the cops accept you and leave you alone forever. Jimi Hendrix is getting arrested, being too cool in public places and smiling at cops. Never smile at any cops, they take that as suspicious terrorist behavior to be happy at all. If you're happy, you must be holding something illegal. If you want to avoid Cops, just start talking to them about a man dressed as a woman who keeps following you around in the subway, they will leave cause they don't want to help you search for a trans killer in the subway.

😂😂 cheers for the advice. The thing on my thumb is just a sticker, it felt like i got a splinter or something stuck in there
