debwilliams Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Last night, myself and SpaceChick had made arrangements to go LemonCello's gig. I just knew it was going to be a good night when the rain had stopped, the sun had come out and I was able to drive to her house wearing sunglasses . Living in Wales, this is a particularly rare event. A good omen I thought. I got to Deb's house and she very quickly mentioned that we needed to go to the ATM for some cash as she just might be buying a BASS during this, our second road trip. Only two weeks ago I'm sure I recall a conversation that fretless basses were not for Debs, and that she didn't really feel that the absence of frets was a good idea. One glimpse of a "FOR SALE" ad in LemonCello's signature soon changed that . Cash sorted, we found our destination and enjoyed some great music courtesy of The Reserves in a fantastic facility called The Green Rooms. It was great to meet LC, listen to The Reserves and of course see Deb's face as she left with her new fretless bass . Here are a couple of pics Thanks very much for a great night! As for the "reminder that we are all individuals" ... just check out how different mine and Debs' choice of footwear was for last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 LC? Hm. I'd rather see Debs' face as she leaves the premises with the fretless. Must've needed a zipper to get that head remounted. Great story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChick Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It was a great night, and thanks to LemonCello for the invite (and the bass) I have been making the most of the fretless this morning playing "Hey You" by Pink Floyd As for the footwear.... I'm comfortable with my choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five years in cuban heels will do that. So I'm going to guess that debwilliams wore the sensible shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monckyman Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Don`t you need to remove unfortunate rodents etc from those spikes after a night out? Having said that, you could stick a setlist on one and just glance down to view. Do they do em in 8s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonCello Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Big thanks to the 'two Debs' for coming to our first gig! It's great that fellow BC'ers come out and support each other like this! We had a great time on Sat night airing our set for the first time. I even sold my fretless to SpaceChick during the interval - I wonder if that is a first too? Our drummer (Paul) had the heebeegeebees for two days prior, but 'manned up' in style and really enjoyed himself! He hasn't stopped talking about it since! BTW, we hired the Green Rooms for the night (link above in this thread) for £75 and invited all our friends and family. The £75 includes bar staff, sound engineer - full sound check and lighting rig!. They couldn't do enough for us to make it a successful night - thanks Owen and Vicky! Onwards and upwards!
