|  | Supporting Member | | | | I heard you mates are really in a drought so I guess the rain is good except when it gets in the way of ripping up the stage with a bass as fantastic as your's  The sun will shine again and you will have your chance to shine! Think of it as a little more "getting better acquainted time with your bass" !

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Perth, Western Australia | | | yeah, the wide spacing will take a little extra time to become acquainted with. And yes, always thinking of the farmers, hopefully the rain will reach them too.
yeah, it's pretty sexy innit?
theres only one way to really get acquainted though, and that's smashing it out at the gig!

| | | | I have the same problem man. I've had to deal with rain at 4 out of my 6 outdoor gigs. We've played them all, but almost all had delays or ended. My only advice is to start booking indoor gigs, and rock out that Sadowsky man. Peace

Nordstrand pickups? Which model?
I've been thinking about modding out one of my cheap basses with some Nordys and am trying to decide which ones to go for...

I would be more bummed about the lost $$ from the cancelled gig. |

I had spent the remainder of the week setting it up and getting it ready for my gig on the 14th. The 14th rolls around and my drummer calls less than 6 hours before we are to take the stage and cancels because of a foot injury... I was very disappointed.

I'll make you a deal......If you send the Bass AND pay the shipping, I promise that I'll begrudgingly play it for you at a few gigs, to, um..... loosen it up!
To sweeten the deal, I'll even do it for free!
Why let that beautiful thing just sit there when it could be playing Ska?
