Check out our top 10 favorite basses on Instagram this week…

This is not a food-related post, but it was SO amazing that I wanted to share it anyway. Most who follow me don’t know that my background is actually in music. I have been playing piano, bass guitar and drums since I was a kid, and I graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Today I received this custom designed pickguard from @alperiouspickguard. I could not be happier with how it turned out! I was sent some images when it was completed, but it is even more beautiful in person. I wanted something to pay tribute to the musical legacy of Prince, and this far exceeded my expectations. I sent a mock-up of what I desired and I am totally blown away by how it turned out. Even looking at it up close, I cannot begin to figure out how it was made. Alper Eskimez is a true master at his craft. It is absolutely gorgeous! To the greatest there ever was ~ to the greatest there ever will be ~ Prince. You will always hold a special place in my heart. – – – #prince #purplelifemovement #paisleypark #bass #bassplayer #bassplayersunited #bassist #bassistsofinstagram #alperiouspickguard #pickguard #musician #jeffreybrogers #theculinaryfanatic #purplearmy #princerogersnelson #nothingcompares2u #bassguitar #berklee #berkleecollegeofmusic @berkleecollege #sirebass
