musophilr Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1342991503' post='1743634'] Here's me the other night at a botb (at my age, really ) ... the prize is £2000 so it's worth the effort* Forty minute set - the longest I've stood up for since my achillese tendon op 4 weeks ago - admittedly I had to perch on a stool for a song in the middle of the set. See my crutches hanging off the stage bottom right. For those who have met her, yes that's Betty (second bass I ever built). My main basses are setup and strung for CGCF... which is a little gruff for this new band. Betty's doing fine though and her new QP barks like a good'un. *We notched up one of the highest scores in the comp so far and have been bumped straight through to the semi's without the "indignity" of more heats.
