all around it

Yer im guessing if we did start some sorta group it would be from all around the hunter and newy. and we'd also need like, a place to paractice and what not. but it'd be cool to have a band like that.

i havent heard the drummer band, though i would really like to, it sounds pretty cool. A bass guitar band would be great to show people the diversity of our instrument. i think it would be something people would find very interesting.

And welcome to you too Liquid-Tension although I'm not feeling much East Coast love at the moment. Would like to hear from anyone at the Central Coast, Newcastle, Hunter Region or lower North Coast.

Welcome Lord Kitchener. I would love to see that ray. Let me know if you are playing anywhere. Sounds like a killer setup.

I think technically its up. Good luck with the MIM sale. If we ever do actually have a gtg we will try to make it on a weekend you are in the area. We might have to make it after your new bass is finished, so we can have a look at it.

thanks mate, i'd be happy to get $400 for it just to cover my parts to be honest; hopefuly I get it

still deciding on who to finish the body, the price variations here are insane.

I used to play with the guitarist from that band! They had the one big hit, "hungry town". His name was Nick Disbray. He is still playing around Melbourne.

Also there was a bass player band in Melb called "basic instinct".
3 bass players & a drummer. Roger Mac, everipedes, Craig newman on basses & ummm, er....... a drummer dude.
Very cool sounding. One played the bass line, the other the chords & the last played the lead on a six stringer. Very cool.

Hope your GTG gets up & running.. Melb one on Dec 9th.

Cheers!!
