Thanks for sticking around :)

If you'd like to support me on Patreon, I'll put a link here, but to be transparent there isn't much being posted there right now as I'm unable to film demo related content at the moment, which is frustrating as this in itself is a large portion of my (very small lol) income. So, any support is hugely appreciated, but no pressure whatsoever. - www.patreon.co...
Welcome back! You do you. Take care of yourself and we will be here.
Suggestion: take us to Andertons! Do a out-and-about about preparing a recording session, prepping gear to leave house, what do you take with you, your comute to get to Andertons, a bit of backstage over there, and the return home!
Thank you so much :) I love that idea! Let me see what I can do next time I'm there
Nice to see you back! It is hardly a suprise to hear you have been stressed with so many challenges recently. So huge credit to you for taking tough choices and congratulations as they appear to be bearing fruit.
Best wishes to you and your loved ones.
Good to see you back. Sorry you felt nervous making this one - take care of yourself.
Thank you so much Ben, I really appreciate that :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove🎸 🇬🇧 You are Adored❤!! 🌍 👍 🔊.
Sampling & composition / counter melodies blog/ Q&A 🕒 👀 🎸 👍 🇬🇧 🌍.
Don't ever be nervous when posting to your channel, you are well loved by your subscribers.
Thank you so much 💜
Welcome back Cici, we've missed you, as I have always said it's your honesty and enthusiasm that keeps us coming back, that and the fact that your one of the best Bass players from your generation in Britain today.
That really means the world to me, thank you so much :)
Stay strong cici, you dont have to give explanations for your decisions, It should be good enough for you and thats It, looking foward to see you playing bass again, you are talented and your music is beautiful
Oh and any Kind of videos from you have been great, music, blogs, whatever, just you doing you is good enough for most people that watch this channel
Best wishes to you and your family. Health things can be worrying. The anxiety from it can make it worse. Find viable tools and methods to help with your stress. It takes time and you seem to know that. Actively seek out those that know how to help. I hope your housing situation gets settled as well.
Can't wait to hear and see your new band..... my guess is when you're engaged in this creative effort the stress peels away and let's the real Cici shine!
Hi Cici, as a 60yr old Male Bar Band Bassist (who has a son in Music Uni, and another just graduated from Drama University) I think it's cool to see a young up and coming female Bass player here, and on Andertons, etc.. and I've always wished you well in your career - life can be stressful, in all aspect, but the second time we encompass something the stress levels are lower and it all gets easier with time. Stick at what you're doing, try and be positive at all times, to ease the stress try meditation, try yoga - try anything that brings joy to you for a few moments and concentrate on that. DO YOU and whatever keeps you happy. I look forward to your career going upwards and further as time moves on. Great, humble and honest post.
It's good you're back for this video but by all means take all the time you need to get through these things, whatever they might be. There's a lot of crappy illnesses floating around rn. Stay strong 💪
Cici, the queen of low end is back!!! So good to see your smiling face again. So sorry for you and your family’s health issues. Hopefully you are all getting the best of help from our wonderful NHS, albeit overworked and underfunded. Looking forward to the new music when it comes, sounds very mysterious and interesting. In the meantime, I’d be quite keen to see a photographic ramble type of vlog. I was really enjoying the images you shared previously and this would give you a good excuse to get out and about (always good for the mental health) and still be able to exercise your creativity. Whatever you choose to do, I’m sure everyone here is looking forward to it, as I hope you are. ❤️
I absolutely love that idea! I'll definitely do that :) thank you so much ❤
Cici, great to see you back and in good spirits. Sounds like you are done and dusted with Red Giant, which is a shame as you guys made good music. That said, your health and happiness should always come first. Stoked to hear you have a new band in the offing and look forward to hearing from them soon. As for topics - if you play acoustic guitar it would be good to see you strum a few originals as a change to the bass. Take care and stay stress free - I'm sure there's a song hiding in that line somewhere!
Thank you Tony, I really appreciate that :) Looking forward to sharing the new venture with you! I do play some classical guitar so perhaps a classical guitar video is in order! Take care
Good to see you feeling more relaxed boss. Remember you don’t owe anything to anybody. It’s your life and your way.
That being said, we all love to hear what you’ve been up to and look forward to the band when it starts releasing tracks.
As for what I personally would like to see (other than slapping a Warwick and I don’t mean professor Flitwick) out and about vlogs and random things would be great. Basically anything you’d enjoy talking about will make for an interesting video.
Take it easy and just keep swimming swimming swimming.
Ahh what a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much, I can’t tell you what it means to hear that. I know it should go without saying, although it’s easy to lose sight of that fact (re not owing anybody anything).
Sounds like a plan with the videos going forward for now then, I love the thought of getting to do that :)
Also housepoints for the flitwick comment 😂
I'm sorry to hear about your flooding and health issues and am praying for you and your family! Your private life is PRIVATE and is no one else's business and doesn't need to be explained!!!
Any videos talking about music and influences would be cool. Lovely to see you back Cici. Wishing you every success honey.
Thank you so much Alison, always great to hear from you :) Great idea, that sounds like a good plan! Lots of love to you and yours
It’s so nice to see you again, Cici! I’ve missed your calming presence here. I hope things get better with everyone’s health there, and your house. See you next time!
Aww thank you so much George, I'm so happy to hear that. Lots of love to you and yours
There is no need to explain, we all support you both for what you are individually going through and it also sounds like you have had a lot of stress, I hope that starts to ease soon and it is good to see you back, look forward to more awesome content and you never need to share anything personal, I hope you have a good circle of support around you so you fully find yourself again.
Nice to see you again Cici. I want to offer my sympathy for all your struggles. It sounds as if it is an awful lot for anyone much less a younger person such as yourself. I look forward to seeing you here and wish you all the kindness and support I can. Keep on being you.
Great to see you back. You've totally done the right thing looking after your health and well being. This life is short and you have to look after yourself. Stay strong and march onwards.
Nice to see you again! And don't put yourself under any pressure, health is more important.
Take care of yourself and soak up the love you receive 🤗
Thank you so much. I certainly am, a lot more than I expected! :) ❤
It sounds like a confluence of several stressful issues which built up and culminated I. how you are feeling now. I'm glad you are decompressing. Everyone needs to!! I hope things begin to ease up and you start to get back to feeling better. Cheers!
It's SO good to see you back! You are loved, and very much appreciated as a fellow musician!
Thank you so much, that really does mean the world to me. Lots of love to you and yours ❤
So glad to see you posting again. I really hope the health issues continue to improve. One idea for new content - I would love to hear how your photography journey is going. Looking forward to hearing the new music 😊
Welcome back ... no apologies needed. Sorry to hear about the tough bits. Excited to hear about music / band / concept. Keep looking after yourself, and your family. Really enjoy your movie content and nature photography ... as well as the bass (of course). Take care 💪🏻
Thank you so much, that means a lot! Hoping to do some photography related content, like a vlog out with my camera etc. Would love to do some more film related content, if there's any specific things you had in mind feel free to drop them here :) Lots of love to you and yours
@ ooh … inspiration to check out something different. I only really knew Sellers from the Pink Panther movies, so your vid on Dr Strangelove broadened my cinematic horizon 👍🏻👍🏻
Great to see you back on the tube. This is an excellent video, thank you Cici. Take care
Thank you so much! That means a lot :)
Great to see you back. You’ve got nothing to apologise for, you owe us nothing. We, the community,have missed our favourite bassist 👍
Aww you legend, thank you so much :)
A message for you. Hopefully if and when you read this, it will have a positive impact. It's good to see you post again. There are those of us who did wonder. Despite the odds faced by both yourself and those close to you, it is a hope that the chaos ebbs and good fortune favors you and yours. I find you informative, a credit to your craft, and someone worth the transmission of good intentions to. I shan't blather. May recovery be soon and may your battles be won. Cheers CiCi.
What in the world could you be not confident about 1. You are an AMAZING musician.
2. You have such a great bass vocabulary especially with your different tones and music
3. You are adorable as well
he cici so good to hear from you just focus on getting well and when you are ready to bless us with your beautiful art we will be here to enjoy much love greetings from denmark
Bless your heart Cici. It was so good to hear from you. I hope you continue to keep us updated on your journey. Judging by the comments, we all absolutely adore you here.
Thank you so much Cale. I really am blown away by the level of support from everyone, I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm beyond grateful to have you all around! ❤
@ ❤️❤️
I have MS and when I get too stressed, I can barely walk, among many other things.
Yeah, stress can do more than I've ever imagined. Life is crazy and I take solace in small, good moments.
Good to see you and hear you overcoming things you have thought felt impossible.
We don't know our true strength until it's tested. Now I know I'm stronger than I ever thought I could be.
Cici Bass - Champion and Legend
Lovely to see you again. Don't be nervous, embrace the unique artistic personality that you have, we love you for it.
Just got back into playing bass and guitar again and found your stuff, awesome work but always put yourself first. Looking forward to more awesome bass stuff.
That's absolutely awesome!! Thank you so much, always happy to help if there's ever anything you need, I'll do my best!
Heyo some random stranger from new Zealand here, Im glad to hear your health stuff sounds like it's getting better and new and exciting projects are on the horizon. I just hope you know that however shitty the internet might be you don't owe us any kind of explanation of your personal life, the vast majority of us are just here to see some cool bass playing and listen to good music, and I'm glad to hear more of that should be here soon
Thank you so much, you really hit the nail on the head there and I can’t tell you what it means to hear that. Happy to have you around! :)
@CiciVonStrangelove never have understood why people get so weirdly obsessed with their favorite celebrities or internet personalities personal lives, and I like to think most people here don't really care about that stuff either. I hope the few weirdos on here don't put you off coming back to making videos and just being yourself
Nice to see you sharing again, it has been awhile.Was wondering how you were and where your musical talents have been taking you as of late. Take care🤙
Thank you so much for sticking around :)
Good on you, Cici. Sounds like you've made some difficult but important decisions to ensure your own wellbeing. Can't wait to see more of your awesome playing, and this intriguing new narrative-driven project!
Cici, you're a dear. You're a very talented bassist and you don't have to tell everybody everything. Some things are private and you're entitled to that. It is good to see you back and I wish you only the best and good luck with your family's health as well. I've been through a lot of the same things and came through it relatively unscathed. Cheers! ❤️
Thank you so much Rod, it's really nice to hear that, and means a lot that you took the time. Also really happy to hear you got through it okay, very reassuring! Lots of love :) ❤
good to see you back and no worries Cici just take care of yourself and we will be here for you as best we can be as peopel taht follow your journey. look foward to seeing you playing more Bass and just keep rocking as much as you can.
Thank you so much, grateful to have you around :) ❤
Great to see my favourite bass player again. Welcome back. 👍
Aww wow, thank you so much, I'm honoured :)
Nice to see you back Cici. Stress can do strange things to your body and mind. Please look after yourself. Been there myself and it's scary. 😘 Lot's of love to ya!
That's so true Ant, sorry to hear you've been there as well, hope you're doing well! Thanks so much for sticking around, lots of love :)
Onward, Cici. Looking forward to your next musical adventure! Let's go!!
Hi Cici, I'm delighted that you're feeling better, and I hope that your family members' health issues are soon behind them. It must be so frustrating to be dealing with the aftermath of the flooding after so long. I hope that's resolved soon. To echo what others have already said, you owe us nothing. Anything you decide to post is a gift, gratefully received. I loved the suggestion that someone else made to do a behind-the-scenes video of what goes into one of the Andertons video shoots. For me, the nerdier the better, from cameras to lights to audio recording, I always find that stuff enjoyable! All the best from an admirer in California.
It’s so lovely to see you again Cici 😊 sending you lots of love ❤
It would be nice to see some bits and pieces of your band rehearsal
Glad to see you back and I love your channel...stay strong and sending you positive vibes and energy.
Thank you so much ❤ Lots of love to you and yours!
Nice to see you back, Cici. Life can't half throw a lot at you sometimes - take care of yourself. Can't wait to hear more about the new band - you've got to follow what you love and make things happen.
Great to see you post again. Hope all gets better with the family soon. Really do miss seeing your take on bass.
Good to see you! Glad things are trending in a positive direction for you. The band news is great for you, hope it is therapuetic for the moving on factor. Keep being you and all the rest will sort itself out!
Thank you so much Steve! Wise words too! Grateful to have you around, hope all is well on your end :)
Great to see you again. You're looking wonderful. Yes I would like content on your other interests and hobbies.
You're an amazing Bass player and individual. 😊
Thank you so much :) Glad you like the idea, sounds like a plan!
Wonderful to see you back, Cici! We’ve missed that smile! 😊 Don’t be nervous, praying that things continue to get better.
Welcome back! Your recent journey reminded me of when my stomach was tied up in knots and I could barely swallow. I remember kneeling and dry heaving against the car in the parking lot on the way back from work more than a few times. Did an upper GI and found nothing. So definitely stress. I was breaking up with a French girlfriend at the time (and to hear that tale, you’ll have to treat me to a couple of beers). Stay strong. Heck, swallowing a scope with no anesthesia shows some big time badassery. Stay frosty.
It's good to see you on video again Carena. Sorry for all the bad health issues you have had, thankfully you and your family are now on the up. We missed seeing you and your mum and dad last year, our best wishes to them. Hopefully we will see you at a music venue sometime soon. In the meantime keep vlogging, on anything you do or are interested in. You were starting doing some photography when we last saw you, if you still doing that then vlog about it. All best wishes, onward and upward. John & Mandy.
Thank you so much both, that really means a lot ❤ I love the ideas, definitely planning to do some photography related videos :) Hopefully see you both soon, lots of love!
Cici, health is the most important thing in everyones live.
Good to see you after all this time. I missed you. No need for excuses, we support you. No need to be nervous.
I'd like more of out and about. I love that stuff.
I really really hope things go like you want them.
Welcome back! Continue to take care of yourself. Would like to see you talk about what you like to read or watch and how that inspires you in life or music. Hoping you continue to be blessed going forward.
Thank you so much Jeff! That's a great idea :) take care ❤
Nice to see you hope you are feeling a lot better very soon stress is never good and very hard to control stay strong you have a lot going on in your life love and mercy your private life is just that private, forward cici i a ways loved your music
Nice to see you back! Stick with it and just be you. Hope the rest keeps improving. You make great content and I look forward to the next one. Jeff.
Glad to see your face and Smile Cici, I hope everything works out well for you and your family. 🤘😎
Hi CiCi! I think I can read between the lines as to what’s occurred. So glad you’re feeling good about yourself and your future. I’m excited to hear your new project/band. I’ve always loved your musical endeavours and I’m sure your next chapter will be absolutely awesome 😎🖤
Thank you so much, that really does mean the world :) ❤
Cici!!! Welcome back! I assure you, we all missed you! ❤And yes, I love your out-and-about videos/vlogs. I'm sure everyone else does too! Glad to see you're ok and hopefully things continue to get better!
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot. Sounds like a plan then :)
Thanks for the update. Sorry you’ve been through so much but glad you’re feeling ’you’ again. Yes, we can fill in the gaps! Whilst it’s a real shame from a purely musical point of view you’ve got to put yourself and your health first. Looking forward to what’s coming next. Stay well 🙂
Lovely to see you cici.
Your personal life has nothing to do with anyone love.
Happy to know you are in a good place.
Rock on! 💥💥❤️
Thank you so much ❤
Glad you're back and feeling better. Will support whatever you're doing while you're getting back to what you want to do.
Omg!!! SO Good to see you back, you’ve been missed massively 😮
Sorry to hear everything hasn’t been great, I’m sure things will get better ❤️🩹
Stay strong and I think you’re stronger than you think 🤔 keep the videos coming, your awesome 💪🤩
Thank you so much Steven, you're a legend! Grateful to have you around :) ❤
Welcome back! Life happens, glad you're doing well! How about some show and tell? Any interesting things/souvinirs youve picked up from gigs, people you've met... Picks, programmes, guitars, random things youve had thrown on stage or handed to you.
That's a great idea, I'll do that! Thanks so much :)
Wow, glad to see you back! I can so relate! I went for an endoscopy recently and also the other tests with the camera through the nose. I had to be put under anesthesia for the endoscopy. I had some throat issues related to stomach acid. I never thought that stomach problems would effect my throat and larynx. Was very scary so I can empathize. I had to have a few biopsies but everything is okay. I have to be careful with my eating habits and some mild medications. I am glad you went and had the doctors taking care of you. You will get better, take your time and great to see you again!
WHERE. HAVE. YOU. BEEN.
Good to see you Cici!
So good to hear from you!!! Happy you are doing better! Yes, I would think that you could put ANY content on here, and people will watch it. I mean... It is YOUR channel, after all. Anyway, can't wait to hear your new material, and I'm sure it is great!
Take care of yourself!
You take care of you, we still here.
Thank you ❤
Good to see you. You always motivate me to pick up my bass allthough im not good at it. I actually am a saxophonist but been trying to play bass for a while now. Lookimng forward to see more videos of you. Please get better soon and stay healthy.
You are a beautiful person! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Welcome back! You have been missed 🙂
Awesome to see you as always. Hope you get better soon. lol. I'm happy to hear you're going strong after the difficulties you went through. You're a fighter, and it makes me happy to see the joy you have that inspires me and others. Keep up your productivity as you deserve it, and you've come so far.
Thank you so much, it's always great to hear from you :) Lots of love to you guys
Welcome back. I hope the stress levels stay at a managable level, and best of luck to your family. Demos and everything else is secondary to the well-bring of you and yours.
Thank you so much ❤
Stress will impact your health massively Cici. You can only do what you can do in some situations.
Glad you're back on track 💚
Fab to see you! Loved the Fender Bassman pedals review with Andertons!
I'm glad you're healthy and doing alright. I can't wait until you can do demos again, I still enjoy your Andertons content. I like your piercings! I have an ear and nose piercing myself. My nose piercing made my eyes tear up! Im glad your experience was better. Excited for your band!! Go Cici!!
great to have you back lady. I would like vlogs and yapping videos for sure
Thank you so much! :) Awesome, sounds like a plan then!
Dude you should've recorded that gastro endoscopy and then play bass over the footage later. Best Tool video ever.
Fantastic to see you back!! So sorry to hear you have been going through so much. You are amazing, and really hope this is the start of good things for you and your family. Take care, R
So good to see you back Cici- looking forward to seeing future content. Sorry you've had a tough time- kudos to you for putting your health first. Also love the nose piercing! ❤
Thank you so much Kathy, that really does mean a lot. Glad you like the pricing too!! Hope all is well with you? 💜
@CiciVonStrangelove all good here- got lots of new guitar pupils which I'm loving teaching 😀
Great video and so pleased you are doing well. Most importantly, excited to see where your musical journey has taken you! Pretty sure it’ll be awesome! 🖤🖤🖤👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much! I really can't wait to share it :) ❤
An endoscopy without anesthesia, damn, that takes guts! Sorry to hear of the health problems. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
Hello from continental Europe. We urgently need more bass solos!
it’s nice to see you back on the internet again and with a little smile even tho life have dealt its punches.
Carina, I am elated to see and hear your again. Your absence was a concern for me. Your disclosure of the varied medical tests did confirm my fears. I am hopeful that the outcome from the exams prove to be successful in diagnoses. You have always presented as the picture of health. I am having difficulty as to the ongoing ordeal completing repair, and restoration to your home. More than enough time has passed to rectify post flood damage (mold propagation etc.). I too have anxiety, and depression to battle. I take Sertraline (Zoloft) for depression, and Clonazepam (Klonopin) for anxiety. The depression stems from my failing vision. I'm not entirely clear as to the onset of anxiety. I did have one anxiety attack in 2003, but none since. I was given a Valium that one time, but none after that initial occurrence. It is my hope that your family members see through these health scares. I'm looking forward to the long-awaited emergence of your prog band. Hearing this exciting update has made my day. Hmm, I now realize that I'm rewriting War & Peace. Please pardon this inadvertent tome. I wish you abundant health for 2025, and loads more episodes. Cheers!
Thanks so much for your kind words and well wishes Alex! Sorry to hear you've been going through that, and all the best to you. Regarding the home repair, the reason it's not complete yet is because of other more important issues taking precedence i.e the family health stuff among other things, so we are taking it at our own pace :)
Hope you family and house feel great real soon
I can't even imagine what you have been through in your personal life. But that's clearly none of my business. But I identify with the way you talk about anxiety. We live in an extremely anxious world. But seeing you perform and getting into "The Zone" is really fun to watch and aspire to. Cheers! Hope 2025 serves you well, CiCi!
Cici.. It's good to see you... No need for nerves.. You look GREAT... . Don't let the past drag you down.. It will if you let it.. I'm interested in your future and what your plans are for the bass.. And BANDS To play it in...
Best wishes
George.... Xx😊
Hey I’m new to your channel but enjoy your content and music. I’m happy to hear your health has been improving and sending well wishes to you and your family :). I have struggled with acid reflux/ gerd since 2020 and have had anti reflux surgery (which most people don’t need) it’s terrible when it’s in a flare I feel for you. I’m a fellow Worcesterian and I’m happy to share what has helped me as mine was tied largely to anxiety and ME/CFS. It took me a few years to get my head around tools to help my nervous system and notice a difference, in my circumstances, but everyone is different. Anyhow I’m a fellow muso, I went to uni with my good friend Ted Edkins and if I can help and save you time let me know. I’m personally getting back into music after having a long period of illness so your videos have been inspiring. Btw sorry for the essay I’m autistic and a musician, shocker haha. Looking forward to your new band as I’m a lover of prog rock too - All the best, Autumn Lily x
Life happens. I appreciate you checking in. I hope you find wellness and thank you for sharing. I love seeing your bass content, reviews, opinions on basses, playing tips / techniques. It's wonderful that you are able to share your experience with us. Do you have any opinions on custom basses? Places like Kiesel / Balaguer / Halo / Prisma / etc...
Good to see you back here again, your health is the no 1 priority make sure you look after yourself . Can you run through what your pedal board looks like at the moment and any specific reasons you chose the various pedals ?
It takes a lot of courage to speak publicly and even more to speak publicly about personal things. Hats off to you for being so open about what sounds like a horrific 12 months, but also for your restraint. You’ve demonstrated candour and class in equal measure. It’s great to see you back on YT and I’m glad you’re feeling more like yourself again. That said, never be afraid to step away if social media is causing you stress and don’t feel pressured into posting if it’s not the right time. Always put yourself and your family first and post what you want, where you want and when you want - your audience will be here to check it out when you do. 👍
@@TheJimty What an awesome comment, thank you so much, I can’t tell you what it means to hear that. All the best to you and yours :)
"Dont be nervous - just chill out"
-Random extravert, probably ;)
It's good to see you again Cici, I'm sending you and your family a big hug and I hope all is well. I understand and respect you wanting to keep your private life off TH-cam, I for one will always be here when you pop up and say hello😄
Glad to see my favorite bass player back. You took number one away from justin chancellor. You're both amazing but you are much cuter than him...lol. all jokes aside , you are an amazing talent. Don't let the haters cast a shadow on your light. Keep being you. Love from the usa.
Seeing you always makes me happy. I’ve watched all your Anderton videos, recent and past, too. You inspired me to buy a bass guitar! I’m really curious about your new band project. You’re an extraordinary woman. Whatever you do is going to be excellent.
Welcome back Cici!! You have been missed because you have your own unique style which is what we love to watch. Happy that you have posted and glad you are getting back to feeling better. Plus, any type of camera work is nerve wracking even for professional actors, so doing this is the best way to get back on the horse. From the comments you can see that 99% of people who watch your vids, have your back and just want you to be yourself, cause that's what makes you you!! All the very best for the future in whatever you decide to do. You are super talented and it gives us hope that you are getting back on your feet.
Suggestions for the future; how about your favourite rigs for different types of gigs, and how you manage getting the kit to the gig. Lessons learned and mistakes made, if you can look back and laugh at what you did it will help give perspective.
I did my endoscopy without sedative for the same reason. But I’ve had one in every orifice, now, and there’s one I hope I never have to experience again. Best of luck for the future.
Stay sunny Cici. No one's business but yours. Thanks for your good energy. 👍
