About me: I play bass. Currently between bands, but I have a few things on the go, including a Pink Floyd tribute show (if I can ever get everybody together at the same time).
Who I'd like to meet: Fellow musicians from around the world and local muso's and producers who need some freelance bass work done :)
Thought you'd find it ironic that five days out from our first gig, my Line 6 packs it in...Not enough to scuttle the gig, just enough to give me the shits and make me sound a little thinner than I would like...The god of musicians loves his little jokes LOL
Apart from that it's shaping up well...Oh and before I forget the boys from Soul Cellar are starting to Jam again :)
LOL...Sounds like you've been living the good life :) With a new bub it is only to be expected that Grandparents would be dropping in I guess but it's always nice to have your life back when they are gone :)
In a new band now...I am not gonna say anything to jinx it but with any luck we should be on stage within a month or so...I will let you know as things progress
Can't wait to see the pics...Sounds like one of those projects that is worth the effort in the end but feels like hell while your doing it...Speaking of which I am about to embark on a project to make a box to put my Dean Markley head into so that I can fit it into my rack unit with out all the internals being open to the air...Personally I think I let the pedal board go to my head and now I think I can do anything :-P The plan is that the Dean Markley will power the 15's and my Hartke will power the 10's so I can have settings for the two cabinets individually. How did that EHX Bass Balls end up working out for you? Looking at getting one down the track and was just wondering what they were like.
Hey "Daddy"
What's going on?
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Why do I have to find out about the birth of your beautiful baby girl on freaking MySpace?!?! I'm just giving you a hard time!! I hope all is well with the Mrs. as well. Take care of your little family, LOVE THEM!!
Hey you!! What's going on? Life was good for a while & went to shit again. I got dumped!! How could anyone dump someone as awesome as me?? *lol* I'm glad I can laugh about it now cause it sucked ass!! I've never been dumped & heart broken like that!! Still looking for a freaking job!! I'm SO bored at the house. Ok, enough about me, how are you? Drop by sometime, show me some love. Don't you miss me damn it?? *grin*
