Hello from Scotland.

[Houndog]

Hello,
I put my paw up to play bass in a West Coast/Chicago blues band and I am just back from playing 4 dates over three days...hot dawg.

I have been playing 6 string accoustic slide/fingerstyle in a duo for over 10 years and wanted a wee change, it is great fun and I really love being part of a band again.

Aff to the gear page to ask a question about strings.

adios,
Houndog

Hello Bob,
Edinburgh at the moment,like Steve did a bit of travelling,Steve did you ever come across the rumour that Jimi played the Kirkcaldy Ice Rink ?,

The band are spread out across Scotland in Inverness and Dundee ,and the harp player is from Glasgow....

Good gig yesterday, managed the transition back to acoustic 13's..but they felt like cobwebs after the bass
