I got my first gig simply because I owned a bass and had "the look"! I had no clue what I was doing, so I turned the volume down and if anyone looked my way, I shrugged my shoulders and shot the soundman a dirty look! Main thing is to watch the guitar players hands and listen to what everyone...

To follow up on my earleir post, I looked through the Yellow Pages and counted 92 bars & clubs in and around Fort Wayne, Indiana not to mention another 2 or 3 dozen within an hours drive! Being located in the Northeast corner of Indiana, that puts bands in the area within driving distance of...

Fort Wayne, Indiana is thriving for the most part, although a state wide smoking ban has hurt a lot of bars and clubs and in turn has scared off a lot of customers! Metal seems to be the biggest draw as well as original music (indie/alternative), but there is also a burgeoning country scene and...

Had enough clubs yet? Lets add another one! I may be the only member, but what the heck, here goes nothing! Its a club for any bass players playing country music! ~ Scott Ergo Owners Club #31, Official Conklin Owners Club #1, Bassist With Beards #90, Hoosier Bassists Club #1, Country...

Any clubs for Hoosier bassist? Didn't see any so I guess I'll start one for those bassists from Indiana! Suppose that'll make me #1? ~ Scott Ergo Owners Club #31, Official Conklin Owners Club #1, Bassist With Beards #90, Hoosier Bassists Club #1

I'm in too! Beards or goatees - take your pick! What number does that make me? ~ Scott Ergo Owners Club #31, Official Conklin Owners Club #1

Don't know if a threads been started on posting pix of your Ergo in action or inaction, but if not - please feel free to post pix of yer "stick"! Pix of my 6-string Ergo EUB #0 396 ~ Scott Ergo owners Club #31, Official Conklin Owners Club #1

Heres a pic of the gear I had laying around the house! Will post pix of the rest later! ~ Scott Ergo Owners Club #31, Official Conklin Owners Club #1

If John Turners so desires he can choose his own number and we all move up the numerical ladder from there! LOL With 5 kids, a mortgage payment, a lake cottage, boats, Harleys, and 25 basses and counting I can't afford to keep up with John....unless I win the lottery! Great pix so far...

After scouring 33 pages of threads relating to the bass guitar it has come to my attention that there just might not be a "club" available for those of us who own and play the Conklin brand bass guitar! If you are the proud owner of a Conklin bass please feel free to leave a comment and post...

The only 2 SR's I own alongside my old bass rig! ~ Scott

Newbie to Talk Bass and a newbie to this thread, but an extended range bassist none-the-less! Bought my first 6-string BG back in the late 80's and although I own 4 and 5-stringers have pretty much played a 6 exclusively since about 1989! I also own and play an Ergo 6-string EUB and a Conklin...

Am I beating a dead horse with this question? I just don't have the time to pour over every post to this mega thread but my question pertains to the craftsmanship of my VE-500. I bought the bass 2 years ago, played it twice and purchased an Ergo 6-string EUB which suites my 6-string BG playing...
