I'm into Tripel Karmeliet at the moment



edit: amazing how people always start talking about beer when I post a picture
There's a gal who knows her beer. I love Belgian Ales. Triple Karmelet is one of my very favorites. Hard to find over here.

HNY!! Bri

I was not attempting to show beer cool. See below. By the way, it is worth drinking.

Didn't mean to sound like I was judging. Sorry!

I don't think it's worth drinking, but I'm more into darker beers anyways, and english beers, like Tetley. "my" bar recently got it on tap and it's a glorious experience. Om nom nom.

Whoa, that looks great. Hope your back wasn't cold with frosty air on the other side of the glass!

Looks like you're channeling Ron Carter's right hand.

DURRL. This is a rock singer/songwriter gig I played Friday. That's my b bass. The thing is built like a flippin' tank, is impervious to weather changes, and has the varnish to repel any beer or vomit attacks. Perfect for those venues. My main bass stays safely at home.

Steve. I get more comments on the size of my hands and the funny faces I makes from audience members than on my actual bass playing. I'm just glad I'm working I guess.

what do we talkbass double bassists look like?

i dunno, but i can tell you who oscar pettiford looks like ...



creepy, right? if you say "Candyman" three times in the mirror he will appear and call "Tricotism" in D-flat at 320 bpm. frankly, i'd rather take the hook to the face.

Bass players always look like they are flipping off the audience.
