It does explain why Rockabilly Violin was such a short-lived phenomenon.


P.S. That is a great graphic!

I stand on my Slap King all the time and I am about 220lbs. I was a little nervous the first time, but once you realize that you are not going to crash thru your bass then its no problem. You just need to make sure you start with a bass that isnt a total piece of crap.

Sure, you're cool as a cucumber but your bandmates, man, they're looking a little nervous...

I'd specifically go to an orchestral performance to see someone from the bass section standing on his bass. It would be so out of character and funny

Ha, Ya that guy is an odd one for sure. I have seen him at a few of our gigs, not really sure who he is, A friend of the singers brother maybe?

I figure since I can't play worth a damn I would take the obnoxious route. My bass looks like it belongs in a pawn shop window!
