Ever play at a clothing optional resort?

[Tampabass]

Got hooked up to sub for an old friend's husband for a gig. Looking forward to it. Guy is a good writer with a following, not really in my genre but I'm flexible. Not sure what the pay is like but probably fine, and it's not super important.

Turns out the gig is at a clothing optional resort. Oh my.

Still doing it, perhaps making a weekend of it with my wife.

Anyone got any experience with something like this?

Which strings are best for those gigs?

I'd hazard a guess Ernie BALL..

I didn't realize until later that it was NOT a clothing optional resort.

Reminds me of this old SNL skit:

Surely the G string

 

[Crackle]

No G string for me. I'm going Ernie BALLs out nekkid.

If I've had a couple drinks, every resort is clothing optional.

Bass player friend of mine played a nudist camp awhile back.


When asked about it, he would scowl and say , "There wasn't nuthin' there that ANYBODY would ever want to see!".

You know how you spot the blind guy at such a gig?

It's not hard.

I'm here all week, folks.

I just got here, how many floppy B string jokes did I miss?

Yes, frequent…. both as a musician, and as a guest/resident. It’s wonderful! Have a great time!

You will also need a sock, ala Chili Peppers. lol

Does that body double as a magnifying glass?

Microscope would be just plain terrifying..

You're going to find out, quickly, that those who should remain clothed are the first to chose the "Clothing Optional" option. ...
Back in 1977 our band played an over 2,000 person swingers hotel party take-over and I managed to keep my clothes on for that.
