i don't know what you're talking about, my bass is loving this weather. took off my wolf modifier and don't think i will need it again till it dries up a bit. sorry your bass isn't so thrilled.

My bow loves it, my left hand hates it. Everything is sticky.

The reason why I hate summer is mostly because it makes harder to carry equipment, etc. across parking lots, etc. all dressed up. By the time I get to the stage I am all sweating, it's just uncomfortable. it's also pretty depressing driving back home late at night, I mean real late and the thermometer in your car says; 89 degrees! that just ain't right!

Jason Sypher · #13 08-27-2009, 08:37 PM

Oh man! I am HATING this summer on the bass. Sticky, tight...just not fun. I cannot wait for fall....

I learned this summer the only difference between a high of 110 and a high of 100 is that with a high of 110 it is still 100 at midnight!

Honestly though they feel pretty similar when the RH is under 10%.

Gosh....It's been pretty nice here! Got a little hot for awhile went to about 85 or so!

Bruce Lindfield · #16 08-28-2009, 06:51 AM

We have a nice moderate climate here and I am playing an outdoor festival on Littlehampton sea front tomorrow - but don't expect any problems!

Last night's outdoor gig was brutal. First set: sun directly on me and the side of the bass, alto player about a major 3rd sharp. Sweat city. Yuck. Second set: clouds set in, pressure changes, and it's suddenly cool. Humidity goes from 99% (first set) to about 170% (second set). The strings raise about an inch and a half, and my RH fingers feel like ground beef. Uncooked. I'm ready for fall/winter.

For some reason Texas club owners have decided that this year, we should all be outside. It's been 100+ everyday since June. It got so hot at one gig, smoke started pouring out of my AI head. The heat made my amp BLOW UP! I don't even want to be outside drinking a cold beer in this weather, much less playing a gig. Oh yeah, and special thanks go out to the bridezilla who just HAD to have us in tuxedos for her stupid outdoor wedding in mid August. there's a special place in hell for her. Rant over.
