Victor Borge?? As in The best Piano performance ever! -Victor Borge - YouTube

Hi! Former bass-player, in Reading, Berkshire
Richard R replied to Pandaweasel's topic in Introductions
Welcome aboard! From "Kill David Hasselhoff" to "Green grows the Laurel" - that's quite a variety. Though it sounds like you could drive to gig in Reading intending to sing the latter, but arrive at the venue in the mood for the former. -
You tripped over one in a music shop? You were sent shopping and hadn't realised you were supposed to buy fish? Do tell. And of course: Welcome aboard!
-
Welcome aboard!

Your assuming the heating works. This is not always the case in UK churches, particularly the Norman ones 😉
-
We need a new emoji-thingy to say: This Thread Urgently Needs Sound Clips!! Anyone capable of making one?? Like this.
-
In that case you can proudly ride off into the sunset with your head held high, the mini amp on the saddle behind you and the U-bass slung across your back. Best wishes, please don't feel the need to reply to this post, otherwise we're into long goodbyes...

Much of the web is toxic. I've found BC to be very good natured and supportive, but if you're bowing out we wish you well. Take care.
-
Welcome aboard! Bass and drums, drums and bass. Who needs the rest of them, just ear-candy at the best of times. What do you throw a drowning bass player? His amp.
-
Welcome aboard! Very sorry to hear of your problems. As said above though, everyone is welcome on BC and I hope you're able to join in and feel at home.

There was me thinking "Left handed Thumb 6" was the coolest intro ever on Basschat 😁 Welcome aboard
-
Welcome back!

Welcome aboard!

The closing track, a 16 minute wig-out.

The first track on the "BC Bash Blues" compilation LP.

True actually, I don't think anyone was wearing a metal buckle now I think about it. Or everyone had their shirt hanging out.
-
They were truly stunning instruments, good man for bringing them along and allowing people to play. I didn't dare play them. Not because I have a metal belt, but because I couldn't possibly have done them justice. And you didn't look terrified, more "justifiably wary" 🙂
-
If you read the headline about events you will notice the last sentence: This is specifically to avoid buckle rash. Joking apart everyone is careful of everyone's instruments, and wandering back from the cakes to find someone you have never met playing your bass 10^8 times better than you can and thoroughly enjoying it is part of the fun.

Heading to church, to untangle the mess I left on stage yesterday, will reply when I get in later.
-
Anything I can help with @owen ? We're through the nightmare stage, so happy to catch up on a call and share lessons learned.
-
Welcome aboard!

I don't make tools but can look like one...

Unless @Sarah5string is ex SAS...

As we seem to be settled on 4th September, can @jebroad update the title of the thread? Or is that tempting fate...?

Exciting! What's the gig?
