My side of town 😎

A close-up of the body of a Pedulla Buzz bass, with a gold bridge and a few black knobs set into the warm, honey-colored wood. The grain is clear and even, and the pickups sit in tidy rows.

A Pedulla Buzz bass, shown full-length from the front against a pure white background. The honey-colored wood glows, and the long, slim neck rises to a headstock with gold tuners. It's a clean, simple portrait of the instrument.

Do you see where they are going to? Or do you see the direction and trend in the camera market?

 

Since the launch of Sony A7 series lately, it seems clear that camera-makers are promoting the small body full frame sensor cameras in the near future. Nikon will be launching the Nikon DF, the retro style full frame camera soon. The low end market has been destroyed by camphone or smartphones .

 

Now the camera-makers want to focus on the high end market.

 

Everyone wants to get a better camera such as these full frame cameras. The question is whether you are getting better pictures when you have a better camera?

 

I am guessing 50% of the current full frame users can get better quality pictures from an entry level cameras. This is true especially when they are using auto or semi-auto (such as aperture priority mode) in their full frame cameras. Actually entry level cameras are engineered to produce good pictures in auto-everything mode. :o)

 

Happy Sunday!

 

This is a blind shot. A shot taken without looking at the LCD or viewfinder. You don't need full frame camera to take these shots!

A very underwhelming display on top of a narrowboat at Enslow, Oxfordshire

The body of a Rob Allen MB-2 electric bass, its quilted maple top glowing in warm golden tones. The strings and bridge cut across the frame, and the soft gray backdrop lets the wood grain take over.

The cover of a bass guitar magazine, with two bass players on the front. The title runs across the top, and the headlines are laid out in bold, bright type. It's a nice piece of print to have on the shelf.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

An interview page from a bass guitar magazine, with the headline Careening With Conviction and a photo of the players beneath it. The columns of text run alongside a bright color picture. It's a nice moment to see the interview in print.

This immersive image offers a dreamlike view inside MIKI GAKKI BASS SIDE—a specialty bass guitar store in Osaka’s Amerikamura district, renowned among musicians for its wall-to-wall inventory of top-tier basses. The photo captures an entire section of the store’s display, showcasing multiple rows of Fender Jazz and Precision-style bass guitars, expertly arranged and ready to be played.

 

The instruments span a spectrum of finishes—from classic sunburst and glossy black to candy apple red and arctic white—each hanging with a tag detailing specs, pricing, and model names. Prominently featured in the front row are Fender Player Jazz Basses, known for their blend of affordability, playability, and iconic tone. With prices hovering around ¥86,900, this lineup appeals to both entry-level musicians and intermediate players looking to upgrade.

 

The carefully lit, wood-floored interior enhances the showroom effect, allowing each guitar’s details to shine—from tortoiseshell pickguards and maple necks to active electronics and custom pickups. The setting is not just a retail environment; it’s a bass-lover’s paradise, where each instrument is treated with reverence and care.

 

The presentation emphasizes Japan’s culture of precision and curation, and MIKI GAKKI’s reputation for offering world-class instruments in pristine condition is clearly on display. Whether you're a touring bassist, a gear collector, or simply a fan of beautiful instruments, this visual feast of finishes and forms captures the essence of a flagship music retailer dedicated entirely to the low end.

The lower body and strings of an F Bass AC6, resting in its black case. The warm orange finish shines against the dark lining, and the six strings run toward the top of the frame. It's a beautiful instrument, and the case shows it off.

The hills rising on the far side of the canal give a clue to the need for the Grand Union's surveyors to plan a steep slight of locks at Foxton. The Market Harborough Branch is on the level of the base of Foxton Locks, so the flight of locks isn't on my walk, but I do get to see the locks from the lowend.
