He was actually sliding across the dance floor on his knees (repeatedly)...:rolleyes:

Not brilliant - but a great showman! :smug:

Yeah - a lot of weird stuff happens at these gigs:

LOL! Nice! That's a fun tune. We play that one as well, but don't have a keyboard player, so I do my best to cop that line on my PK-5 pedals (driving a Korg Triton Rack). I don't get to jump around as much as you, though! :D

And congrats on getting Steve Howe to play guitar for your band! :smug: :p

Hey Tom,

I didnt realize you do the PK-5 thang too!
I use mine with the Roland XV-5080 rack.
When I am feeling ambitious I bring this out..

Wow, that's a sweet setup! Those PK-5's really do work well. I just wish I was better at setting up my Triton Rack. That thing can do some amazing things, and I know I'm just scratching the surface.

Sorry for getting OT, there... :ninja:

So, who's getting a Will Lee 5? :D

Thanks!

Yeah, the strings were getting old anyway, so they will go. My problem is that I really like the punchy tone I get from digging in and playing really aggressively. Add a good gig, a few beers, and I often get a blister (which resolves in a few days). But this time my callous just popped clean off, and it sadly happened right at the start of the gig and not a few days earlier as it usually does. :eek:

I may leave the blood on the pickups though I hope it doesn't help rust the pole pieces.

I think it does look pretty cool though. My wife was joking that the CSI folks on TV would be able to tell which finger I hurt from the spatter on the bass and control plate. :p Jerry J thought you guys would appreciate a visual. He came out to the gig and was witness to my folly.

Great photo!:bassist:

It was a bloody mess and that finger looked really painful. It was a good thing that you were sitting down when you put the super glue on. I know just how much that stuff stings from back in my "gettin' crazy with the upright" days.

I have a blood stain on the top of the bridge of by DB from a similar experience. Never bleed on the slab though.

Wanted to say thanks to Vic and Roger for their suggestions.

Had my local luthier change my volume pot to the 500k pot and I installed sadowsky blue label strings. I have played the bass in a couple of live settings and it sounds very crisp and clear.

I can really hear the difference in the 500k pot and the strings.

No problem. Glad I was able to help in part with the others. :)

Bart,
Thanks for sharing the news of your daughter bro. How does one respond to such a heart wrenching story other than to send much love & best wishes. You have a large family here at TB & I'm sure that the sum of such love can only be constructive for Kira, you, your wife & all those administering care & treatment. Sometimes the universe can provide profoundly powerful energy & understanding, if that is your intent.
Much love,
Blair.

My mother is a neuroscientist and my father is a chemist, so I almost understood what you wrote in the linked thread. Cold comfort, but it must be just a little bit exciting to be on the cutting edge of research into an emerging disease, which as you correctly noted could be very valuable to other families in the future.

As the parent of a child with a relatively mild developmental disability, I understand the stress of being constantly on guard, waiting for the next incident. Having been through it myself, and having read the divorce statistics regarding parents of kids with DDs, I really have to commend you and your wife for making it work. Best wishes to you all.
