Everything in this world comes down to two things.....love or fear. If you are acting out of fear then you may want to step away from it and see it from a new perspective.

sounds to me like you know exactly what you are looking for....so instead of trying to "fit" with another group....why not start your own...then when you advertise for players you can set the ground rules right away? just a thought

on another note, it is a very vintage sound so if you are looking for something more modern you may not be satisfied....it is worth trying out none the less. Cheers

I know i am sounding like a broken record here....but my Fender TV bassman 2x10 350 watt is a killer. I played a loud show last weekend and i had the preamp gain on 6 and the master on 9 and it was thumping hard...no breakup no fart. it is a beast of an amp and it was under 1000 US. Good luck...

I wonder why no one googled the name before the shirts were printed..... on a side note i love the old crow medicine show.....never heard of them until today. Good luck with your situation brother

Happy Holidays everyone. I wanted to share this with the group. Carol Kaye has her own website and forum that she is actively involved in. You can join her site and talk right to her. She is not only one of the greatest players and a living legend, she is a gracious and kind-hearted soul...

If you have to ask....there is a good chance you know the answer....all is fair in love and war.

Visualize the show in your mind. After you have practiced sit quietly with your eyes closed and see the smile on the directors face and hear the music as it comes out just right. Nerves are kind of a rush in a way, they remind me that I am about to jump out there and expose myself to the world...

I have the TV 210 and it is my best friend. it is simple and sublime. $1000 CDN

I did the exact same thing to a beautiful Ibanez jazz copy 1970's. I regretted it from the moment i restrung it and realized I had wrecked a sweet bass. I own a fretless now and although it is a very nice fender jazz I rarely play it and when i do it is mostly on my own. I recommend you take...

what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Pino toured with the who.....if those werent some massive shoes to fill........ I am also reminded of Rick Danko and the BAND....when they toured with Bob Dylan they were booed every night for not delivering the expected....but look what became of it.

That is a beautiful ride.....wow

I think it is a power role to play, side man that is. It comes at a cost and in many cases a wanton ego will not serve you in this pursuit. Let the superstars have the light, let them have the control, let them do what they do best. Remain a servant to the music and serve with unconditional...
