This only applies to gigging. At home, a minor dampening of my brow means it's time to put the bass on the stand.

Playing in the cold, isn't much fun either.
How about playing a long gig that starts hot and as the night goes by it get really cold, and your hands start getting stiff. Still, it's a gig

Im with Brendan, and vbass.
If Im not soaking wet with sweat at a show, somethings not right. If its practice Id rather not kill strings with sweat and would rather be comfortable.
Then again its rare that I dont sweat at practice. Damn FL. heat/humidity. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Tampa Bay | | | I just moved here from Miami 6 months ago and am there at least once a month. Gainesville gets hotter by the way since it doesnt have the ocean air to cool it off, but it also doesnt have the humidity so overall south florida is worse.
Oh, and when Im in Miami I often have to wear long sleve shirts since my grandfather doesnt know about my tattoo and shouldnt know about it either. I think I just won the few extra points it takes to win with that one. |

But I lived in Alaska, so don't even try to play the cold game.

Actually the rolled sleeves act as a little bit of padding between my forearm and my bass which is good to have when rocking out. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
