I will look into that site to see how it works...If you got licks, I got beats!
this isn't a true story (as far as I know)
but I'm a bass player. Not really a solo instrument.
I'm so surprised that this hasn't happened to us yet. I get blazed in my car right before I go in to set up, and my pianist gets blazed and drunk in his car while reading philosophy (love this guy). Over 300 gigs together and no incidents. Not sure if a cop would even want to bust us, their buddies at the station would never stop ragging on them having brought in classical musicians. "Great job, Chuck! We can all sleep a little easier knowing these motherfuckers aren't out there terrorizing folks playing Mozart and Debussy this weekend..."Getting ready to do a gig.
Bandmates decide to go blaze in the parking lot.
Get busted, go to jail. One guy left who was finishing setting up the gear.
5 min, to show time.
Stanley Clark would dissagree about the bass not being a solo instrument , baddest bass player alive & i was fortunate to see him do a 35 minute solo set while he was playing alongside Al Dimeola in Return to Forever .this isn't a true story (as far as I know)
but I'm a bass player. Not really a solo instrument.
Weather Report was the shit & so was Jaco, ive got every one of their albums & seen em twice , here's Jaco's protege Pete Griffin playing Pound For a Brown , from what ive read Jaco mentored him extremely hard .Really? Maybe bass played with a pick. Walk that bitch up and down the frets son.
Shit unless were talking about a classic Rickenbacker 4000 series most 4 string bass's are too limited to get serious with your phrasing , you can get 6 & 8 string bass's that are much more musical , still theres something about the sound from the old Rickenbackers with no pedals thats hard to match , just cant hit as many notes .Plus there's like only four strings, too. Way easy!
