    Lightweight amp tragedies?

    I usually place an SVT Classic on top to keep her nailed down.

    Noises that bother you.

    After Afghanistan, I'd say large explosions and that WAVES IDF incoming siren. Gives me chills and an eerie feeling...

    What's the best compliment you've ever received as a bass player? PART 2!

    "Man, Sobus puts the balls back in that band" was an interesting thing to hear from a fellow musician.

    Can you run your amp too long?

    If you play a lot of wrong notes, they will build up residue and blockage to your ideal sound. Gotta blow out the carbon with some good stuff...

    When you go see local bands,do you study their gear

    During the break, I like to disassemble their P-bass and check the dates to make sure they aren't playing any phony knock-off.

    I would play a HUGE plate of some awesome Memphis BBQ...

    Have you ever messed up bad in a gig?

    I was playing my first gig with a new blues band (back in '99) and they signaled to me to take a solo. I didn't know it was supposed to be over the established 12-bar pattern. So, I went off in left field all by myself for maybe 15+ bars and wanted to come back home to the pattern. :hyper...

    Might be playing in a cast

    I've played with a splint on my right wrist/hand (sprained thumb) and even gigged while my right arm was in a sling/soft cast for a biceps tendon repair. You'll want to strap on the bass and see if you need to adjust your strap to accommodate the cast. Don't over-do it or get too crazy out...

    Bass Ramps! What are your thoughts?

    I have one on my Ibanez GWB35 and it's not an issue for me; I'll keep it installed and accommodate my playing style. Maybe get my fretless skills up to snuff ;-) As for my other basses, they will not be getting ramps installed.
