Fantastic rehearsal last night. Sounding as good with the new lineup as we ever did with the old lineup, which is really good considering this current lineup has only been together about 8 weeks.

That is really good.

Took this bad boy out for its first ever rehearsal last night. It’s absolutely the best bass I’ve ever played and I OWN IT!!!

Ooohh an NG3 by looks of it. I had the NG2 version and liked it a lot. Went back to 4 strings and didn't need it.

Great basses.

They are great basses, I had a combustion for years and deciced to upgrade to this - it's a bit of a sleeper. Canadian ABZ but with a plain finish so it doesn't look like a custom from a distance.

 

The rehearsal was good fun. The drummer is good but very inexperienced so trying out ALL of his chops in the numbers and practising fills and rolls whenever we stop. And is VERY LOUD. But that's all fine. I have earplugs and the enthusiasm is great.

 

What I'm having to put my foot down on though is the speeding up. Once last night the tune was racing away so I tried to pull back, and pull back until I was completely out of time and neither of them noticed. They didn't even notice when I stopped playing and stood there waiting for them to finish the tune... which they did very quicklyt the speed they were going! I asked the, politely, to listen a bit more intently and to be fair they did after that.

 

The beers and the chat in the pub afterwards was also the hightlight of the week.
