Acoustic session

[Baxlin]

I posted a brief comment on another thread about playing acoustically, and doing so piqued my interest, so I thought I’d share it.

I play bass in a purely jamming/hobby/non-gigging band (by choice, as we’re mostly in our 70s!), but have decent soundproofed facilities, with full PA, drum kit etc, so we don’t spare the volume when rehearsing.

But we gave our first 'performance' last night, in front of our wives (!) in a living room, so went acoustic.

No mikes, the drummer used a drum box and tambourine, I did use an amp, but very low.

To our surprise, we thoroughly enjoyed it, even though any mistakes tended to be more obvious, not that there were that many.....
