Hot Tub Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Greetings one and all! Haven't been around for a while, but still chatting with some folks from here on that Facebook. Anyhoo, I've recently noticed that I'm able to play quite a lot of covers, damn near note-perfect. In fact, if I was to play them all one after the other with no breaks (other than the breaks between tracks, obviously), it would be just over 12 hrs of music. So, I've been thinking, could I raise some dosh for a good cause by getting sponsorship to do something like this? A sponsored 12hr bass play-along. Venue isn't a problem, and publicity would be fairly easy..... Daft idea? What do you think....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 12 hours! I could manage 2 hours maybe plus an hour of originals, followed by 15 hours of Mustang Sally I'm sure you could raise money mate, count me in for a fiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Tub Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well, I do a bit for Help For Heroes, both personally and with the band (we've done a couple of "freebies" & there's a bigger project on the go at the moment), so I was thinking it'd be a bit of a giggle. I may try to sort something out next year.... watch this space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's VERY unlikely that 12 hours of bass soloing would get a crowd lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
