Asked to play to 11.00pm at a wedding as that was when the taxi was arriving for the bride and groom. Peaked @ 10.48pm with a manic 'All Right Now'. Then decided to break with tradition and encore with a slow one. Just hit the instrumental outro of 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' as the taxi hove into view thru the open doors at the bottom of the hall, with bride, groom and all assembled slow-dancing to their heart's content. Job done!

Things could be worse - you could be the bass Ewok with Argent!

Form your own band! That's how I got round it...

Dead right! 'Love Cliff Richard but please don't tease' Now there's a lyric...Kiss didn't understand! We have a Hammond player rehearsing with us tomorrow. Hold Your head Up is very much on my agenda!

We kick off with The Seeker - never fails!

Somehow the matt finish of the p/g doesn't work with the gloss of the body. For me, anyway.

[quote name='Adrenochrome' post='585054' date='Aug 30 2009, 12:09 PM']I use a cheap Samson Airline bass-specific bug and it suffers from none of the problems listed above. It's seen regular use from the tiniest pubs to 2000+ outdoor festivals and rallies. The points listed above as 'facts' are grossly inaccurate.[/quote] +1 for this! I wouldn't be without mine, secured from another Basschatter, and it's become a bit of a trademark. Good when you can't soundcheck, too! Edit - Look at my avatar for another advantage, access to the bar...

Is the second one known as a 'five-year'?

Is that you practising your scales, Clarky? I have to tell you, that's not the right kind of bass.

I play in a functions band and dep with a party band. They have two or three duplicate numbers (eg Saw Her Standing There, Ruby) which are played in D (one band) or E (t'other) depending on the singer's ability to hit the high notes. I have to engage brain before moving fingers, not an easy thing to do at my age...

Remind me why I got rid of it, Clarky

If the leggings come attached, I'm in
