Double Bass I slept with...

...my bass bag.

Along with a couple of sweaters it made for a pretty decent sleeping pad (read: rats nest) in a fix. I'm sure im not the first who's been their. One can tell these sorts of things by the softness and general vibe of the whole situation.

I seem to remember waking up inside a gig bag with my head just sticking out but that one is fuzzy. The only clear memory of the ordeal is the laughter of the people who found me.
 
So where was the bass?

Just in the practice space. I had a few too many pops but had taken the sleep stuff out of my car so was left to improv. It was fine but not exactly what I had woken up at 5:00 every other morning of the week for.

you fit in a gig bag?

Like I say the memory of sleeping in the bag is pretty vauge but 95% real. I'll ask the guys but yea...Fetal position in the bag seems like a pretty reasonble sceario all bleary eyed. A bunch of dudes losing their **** laughing at you tends to leave a lasting memory despite other factors.
