yes, this picture would be better if I put a shirt on.
but hey, it's me, playing my knackered arbiter pro POS.
don't play her too much, i play double bass in county orchestra and county jazz band... and electric bass in the schools wind band. and I'm not pro enough to make it into sax quartet. so I occasionally jam on it in band prac.
keep meaning to start a soul band

Me playing with my university jazz ensemble.

keep meaning to start a soul band  | pro enough for quartet?? just gotta be able to read and tap your foot, mate. I played a little alto in Quartet, mostly bari tho.
I basically have the four main members of the family, for the longest time i've been an alto/bari doubler (well........recently i've been, played a lot more bari earlier tho), and now my thing is tenor......THE RANGE IS SO EASY! and maybe one of these days i'll play soprano
