Welcome to geekabit.nl, my personal website where I share my hobbies and projects. As a curious mind and avid learner, I enjoy exploring a variety of interests, from designing electronics and writing code, to transcribing songs and playing music.

In 2016 I started this website as a place to document my projects and music and share those with like-minded people. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, I hope you'll find something here to inspire and entertain you.

Hacking away at Tkkrlab

One of my main interests is tinkering and making, and I've created a diverse portfolio of projects since I was old enough to wield a screwdriver. These range from electronics to woodworking, from trivial to challenging, from single-afternoon projects to multi-year ones. Results vary from some brilliant pieces to spectacular failures, but I love all of them equally. Check out the projects to discover something that captures your interest.

Bass tabs

As you might (or might not) know, I'm a bass player. Currently I'm band-less, so I mostly play along with other people's music. For many well-known songs it's easy to find good bass tabs online, however that's not always so with lesser-known songs. That's why I've started transcribing songs I like that didn't have a proper bass tab available on the internet. I welcome you to browse the collection and try some for yourself.

For many years I've had a melodeon, but only played it occasionally. It's only since 2022 that I've started to play a bit more more seriously.
