Adrenochrome Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi everyone. My name is Jon, I'm a bassplayer currently living and working in Harrogate. I play semi-professionally in a covers band playing pubs, clubs, festivals, motorbike rallies and the occasional wedding/party. My 'thing' is getting very good results from budget priced (and 2nd hand) gear. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Jon Thanks for the response about the Forresters gig on the ROTN site. We need to get a replacement sorted for that night. Just been on your website. Excellent set list and will definitely get to a future gig. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's a sin that they don't currently have a live bassist (though 1 of the guitarists often plays bass on 1 or 2 songs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the book it is derived from a living donor's adrenal gland (removing the gland kills the donor; it cannot be taken from a corpse). As such, it is purported to be very exotic, and very intense: "the first wave felt like a combination of mescaline and methedrine". Thompson reported a significant perceived rise in body temperature that led to paralysis. it's a great book, and the film ain't too bad :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
