You may remember a thread from a previous bass forum entitled "Gigging, A Beginner's Guide" that I started and numerous people chipped in with all sorts of good advice. Well the time has come, there are no more excuses, tomorrow night (Sat) I have my first gig since June 1987. Back then it was the end of 'A' levels party and I was turning 18. Now age 37 and turning grey it's a gig for family and friends. There is actually one song that's the same from both sets "She Sells Sanctuary" - a bassline even I can't fluff! I'm really excited but petrified at the same time. At least it should be a friendly crowd who'll give us the benefit of the doubt. I just need to be confident, focussed, only have the one beer, don't wince when I cock it up and try to enjoy it. The reason why I picked up the bass again after 17 years was so that I could gig again so I shouldn't be moaning about it! It will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine.... but I think I'll invest in some brown trousers anyway. elom

Good thread that one. I'm just putting our band's site together at the moment. It still needs more work but please feel free to critique. I thought it looked too amateur but the other guys liked it so it's staying for now. I've tried to incorporate some of the advice from this thread but futher advice is most welcome.... elom

Hi Kev, I think you might have the honour of being the first genuine new signing (as opposed to the re-locating hordes)! welcome

I don't know if such a thing exists but I think that a brushed steel plate would look fantastic on there

Here we are again. elom installed and ready for duty
