January 2026 marks 13 years of The Bass Diaries. What started with a late New Year’s Day recovery and a Metallica “Enter Sandman” cover in January 2013 has grown into a long-running bass project built on learning, sharing, and a genuine love for the instrument. This monthly update looks back at December’s sheet music releases and sales, celebrates key milestones, and looks ahead to what’s coming next for the site and community.
