Stingray5 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 +1 to the previously mentioned Panama and/or Stetson. Have to say I'm guilty of having worn both in the past (...though not at the same time ) Failing that - this might work: or this - especially if you get a little peckish mid-gig: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Well MrsOldGit frequently suggest I wear one of these (the hat, that is) Or I think that what she's saying when I say I have a gig in Llangrannog or somesuch place Edited October 12, 2009 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know work has rather dried up for Keanu Reeves since the whole Matrix 2 & 3 debacle, but surely Ted "Theodore" Logan deserves better than this? On a side note - Bill & Ted's bass player in Wyld Stallyns surely has to be the coolest man (?) to ever step on stage with a DB - Something I tried to recreate at a Halloween gig once*, to much hilarity - *The whole place - all 5 bands and the whole crowd - were in fancy dress, so I wasn't alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Bass Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Why not get a cap. You could get one with Shuker on it. For the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaver Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 If it's not too impolite can I enquire into the size of the OldGit head. I have a 7 3/8" felt Christie's number that might do the trick. Could possibly bring it for a fitting at the Welsh bass bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realised I posted all that above and didn't get round to making my final point - if you have to wear headwear to a gig, make it a Reaper cowl or nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamapirate Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 !! I never go on stage without my beanie! My main one (which is now on Lewes train tracks - long story) is a grey one with a darker grey stripee around the bottom given to me by an ex-drug addict who got it in the 70s. My other is a black one from topman - and yes, I'm wearing it now haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
