    Not just any ol'Joe

    As a traveling player I don’t let anyone play my instrument. If it gets fouled up it can affect the gig and possibly the next before it could be fixed. It’s perfectly reasonable that the guy brings his own bass. I would if it was me.

    Stage Wardrobe

    I work a mix of venues from mid size bars to classier nightclubs doing a mix of classic rock. The show is mixed with comedy but the music is played seriously. I wear black tux pants with loud Hawaiian shirts and heavy gold jewelry. I change shirts every set as I am quite active on stage. Black...

    Worst band name you have ever heard.

    In 1974 I ran into a band in North Florida called Cat Sass that had a logo drawn to look like looking at the rear end of a cat. They didn't understand why no one would book them.

    My Wife Poses the Ultimate Question

    I buy what i want / need. I make sure I have enough money to do so. My partner does the same. We are both reasonable people with a grasp of reality and fiscal responsibility. She and i have been together 45 years. We never fight or even have a cross word. We are not married. That's the secret.

    Need info about Gallien-Krueger 100G amplifier

    hi! I know this is a Bass Amp forum, but it seems to be where people knowledgeable about the Gallien-Krueger brand hang out. I've just acquired a Gallien-Krueger 100G guitar amp (two channels, 1-12" eminence speaker dated 1976, reverb, tremolo). Built like a tank and sounds great, but I can't...
