WhoNeedsYou

There we go, me playing with "Central Station" a local songwriters (Simon Todd) backing band.
I don't play with them much any more as he doesnt do much in the way of full band gigs, mostly acoustic stuff.

Since I posted in this thread I aint touched my bass to play it! (though I did pose with a tan waistcoat, does that count.)
Though i have been sorry feeling for myself quite a bit since i auditioned and just cant get back into the swing of things.
This thread must be cursed.

Still got no work bump

Caramel blonde - may contain traces of horse DNA tho

Entirely credible, but illusion is let down by the pink cables. They don't match your nails. Shameful..!

Whoever is colouring your hair is doing a very good job - you look like a natural blonde .

Amazing what you can get in Aldi these days eh ? ;-)

Last one I promise! 2010 and the whole package is fully realised.....minus specs, but it was dark in there!

Fast Forward 2 years, 1996.
Bass guitar & dodgy free mcdonalds sunglasses added to the mix....

January 1994 - the Legend Begins.....
Girl meets waistcoat, two years previous to buying her first bass guitar!

I have two days off a week (that are child free) so I would say 2 or three hours each day, making between 4-6 hours plus if like last week I'm cramming for auditions, an extra hour most nights after work and a few hours on a Sunday, getting randomly interrupted by a 5 yr old girl & her pink ukelele who tries to distract me & feed me biscuits.
So roughly ten - twelve ish hours if needed.
4 to 6 hours if not.

Thanks again folks, I'm feeling loads better in reflection of the past weeks antics.
Still no texts or emails saying I'm "not suitable" though!
Which proves that they most definately are top grade penises!
Deepdown I really hope the guy they picked turns out to be heavily unreliable & their decision bites them in the butt. I'm not bitter!
Saying that, everything happens for a reason, there will be a good one behind this no doubt.

I was going to say that the outfit makes you look like a girl ... then I realised it's the fact that you are a girl that makes you look like a girl , the waistcoat is just incidental . Lucky escape from a potentially embarassing mistake .

This is my dads 1970s waistcoat, so not exactly a feminine choice of dress!

So it's true, then - if you're thin you can wear anything!

The bass hides the arse! Not that thin!

Stepping out with a cappucino waistcoat, tiny bass cab & ill-matched t-shirt!

It's probably karma for leaving my last band !

I wouldn't be too fussed if I was told "thank you but no thanks"
I think no response at all is just plain rude.
Maybe I am just to.sensitive.

If I didn't have my pj's on I would do my version of the pic, though I don't have a sunroom/conservatory.
Actually I may already have a pretty appallingly suitable mid nineties bass picture.

Theme from Super Gran, lovely song.

Good man - don't sell your rig quite yet! It won't seem so bad after you've slept on it.
And remember - you can't be held responsible for someone else's decision.

Dead right (except the man bit ;-) !)
Everything always looks better in the cold light of day, except the Rolling Stones or Barry manilow , they always look terrible!
Night night.

Thank you for the calming words.
They picked the guy who was leaving as I got there for my try out, my guess is the decision was made before I played a note which annoys me a bit.
I don't take greatly to failure (never have done) and this will have a knock on effect for a while, the gear is going under the stairs until I think what to do next.
I'm having a nice decaf & a croissant to calm me down in the hope I get some sleep tonight/today

Quick update, just found out tonight I didn't get it. They haven't actually told me yet, but they've just announced the new member on Facebook. Nice. Anyone want to by a behringer rig & 2 sh*t basses?
