discreet Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) [b]Cowboy Hat and That Fuzzbox Voodoo...[/b] Long story short, I've been for a number of auditions over the last weeks and months - didn't bother to mention them on BC as there's not much entertainment to be got from a public list of 'failures', imho... but I went for an audition last night and got the call today. I [i]really [/i]wanted this one too, so I'm pretty stoked about it to say the least! I am now bass player for Cowboy Hat and That Fuzzbox Voodoo! Will be listing gigs in due course, y'all! Now... where did I put my boots, shades and confederate flag bandana..? And of course this is an excellent excuse to buy another bass more suited to the vibe of the whole thing... [url="http://www.cowboyhat.tv/cowboyhat.tv/welcome.html"]http://www.cowboyhat...tv/welcome.html[/url] It's ostensibly alt.country/blues rock/americana, but the songs are full of hooks and great fun to play.

Mykesbass Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Great work - but yes, a Spector isn't really going to look the part is it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Lives in Chiswick, rides a red Harley ... I'll keep an eye out for him Mark. If I wear (genuine) cowboy boots and hat to your first gig, do I get in free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admiral Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Congrats! How about this? Not my ad, but it looks a beauty and a good price too. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/253530-ibanez-afb2000-shortscale-semi-acoustic/page__p__2661150__hl__semi__fromsearch__1#entry2661150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short scale and sunburst not for me, but otherwise yes. Edit: Having said that, whenever I think of any genre even [i]slightly [/i]related to 'country', I think of an early 60s sunburst Precision Bass with Rosewood fingerboard and tort guard, so work that one out...

JapanAxe Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 ... and that is why one should always keep a gnarly old Precision available. Loved the song - congrats! Thinks: Aren't you going to need a gnarly old amp too!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like a Fender Bassman 100T with a Bassman 115 Neo Cab? With sparkly cloth and chrome logos, of course... Or maybe a Fender TV amp..?
