When i gig i always, always take the same two basses.
home basses if you like.
a five string Pedulla i bought from somebody here (always no.1)like a worn in pair of jeans.
and a butterscotch fender dlx jazz iv that i always did my learning on,
these two go with me everywhere
i have many other basses that dont get the gig, like the Roscoe becks 2x 5's and a 4,great basses
also a whole bunch of antigua fenders always look great to me,couple of ray's etc.etc.
but like your favourite pair of trainers, you pick the same first every time.
i would feel a twat if after 40 plus yrs, it was me who ride cymbal'd the headstock on a pub gig .
anthomp
yes i stand that side
