Witnesses are compelling evidence but around here the rule is "No Pic, No Chick humping Rig."
Hope you get to drop by to see this before your show.
You Go Girl!! You are going to Rock and it's going to go great!!

Dude. I WISH. I never even saw her while it was happening. I saw her being drug off by the bouncer. My impression of her in that moment was mostly frantically waving limbs. I don't even know from pesonal experience if she was cute. (Keyboard player said she was. But that could be just to make me jealous of my rig.)
What was the song?
Maybe it's not the rig, but the song that holds magical powers...if so, I need to learn this tune
Thanks for validating that I'm not the only crazy one!
Yeah, You, Me and THand rockin' the Looney Bin. Except I'm the really crazy one who's eating all the crayons and ruining it for everyone...
If anyone wants to do a Skype lesson, you can buy one from her website - The Official Carol Kaye Web Site, and if you have any questions for her about it, I can PM you her email address. FM, I'm sending you a PM now with the info.
Returning from a trip to DC via Amtrak yesterday I had the opportunity to read through all the posts in this thread series. Happy to see that TB can have an open dialogue like this 
My congrats to those who are confident enough to share alternate lifestyles on a public forum, and even though it seems that the threads have branched into light-hearted, good old depravity, it's still cool that the birth of the theme continues to be carried through .... Good job by Thor, too

Aw shucks, Ed. Thanks. I took some lessons from Pacman during part 2.
I am all about light hearted depravity. Keeps me out of the basses forum which is deadly to my credit card.
I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to coexist
With anything but pain
I can learn to compromise
Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I can't explain
I can learn to resist
Anything but frustration
I can learn to persist
With anything but aiming low
I can learn to close my eyes
To anything but injustice
I can learn to get along
With all the things I don't know
You can surrender
Without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender
You can fight
Without ever winning
But never ever win
Without a fight
I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to coexist

I said earlier that I had a list of "Words to Bass by" posted in my garage where I practice that helps me keep focus on what is important and what isn't. I now present that list your your perusal, use, critique, etc:
Words to Bass by:
"Keep your ears open and listen to both the sound and your soul"
"When you're performing, don't ever, under any circumstance, stop playing if you mess up."
"Play fewer notes and put more soul into each one you play."
"Less is more."
"Learn to make a beautiful sound. Play with a groove. If you do, people will want to play with you"
If you hit the wrong note, don't go back and hit the right one; keep going."
"Don't think about the notes you want to play, or the melody of a song. You don't think about the words that are coming out of your mouth. Music is a language, and the goal should be fluency in that language."
"Learn your scales, your arpeggios, and practice all of them. Then get up there, forget all that #%&* and play music!"
"Relax mate - it's only music"
"Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you don't get it wrong".
"When they say, "bring the funk" they're looking at YOU."
"Learning is a long process; don't get wrapped up in what you did today."
"If you aren't making mistakes when you practice, you're not learning anything new."
"Never loose the groove in order to find the notes"
"Just be who you are on bass. It's YOUR voice, use it."
"Every day you miss practice is one you don't get"
"Identify things you suck at, practice those"
"Practice makes perfect, but an instructor gets you there quicker"
"Quit worrying that you're not as good as everyone else..."
"Dont just practice the things you can do well - practice what you can't play until you can play it"
"If you practice with a metronome...eventually you will always feel a metronome within, even when you arent playing with one"
"Don't do anything half-assed. Either put everything you've got into it, or just don't bother. Doing things half-assed is just a waste of the finite amount of time you have in this world."
"It's not how you play it when you play, but how you FEEL when you play it"
"Don't allow yourself to be lazy and not play for days at a time. It all adds up, and after you have enough hours under your belt, you can't help but be a good musician."
"Being a good bassist isnt about being how fast you can play, its about how fast you can hear"
"Never be afraid to fail. That's how you learn."
Remember only two things; 1. You are a musician 2. God ((or Buddha, Mohammad, The universe or freewill...you get where I am going)choose for you to be a musician."
"Never give up, never give up, and never give up"
"Always believe in your bass, become one with the bass"
"Anytime you play music, you always play the best you possibly can, because you never know who's listening."
"Playing music isn't a competition. Do what you can and have fun. Don't worry about someone seeming better than you. There will ALWAYS be someone better than you are. Sure, someone may be able to play rings around you technically, but no one will ever be able to play the music that comes from your heart."
"The bass is a four stringed drum."
"You cant hold no groove if you aint got no pocket"
"Whenever you think you suck and want to quit, remember your better than the guy that did quit"
