Is there a "look" for a bassist?

[caeman]

For pretty much all muscians...a hat. At least, for the blues gospel and klezmer that I play. I often get complimented for my hat. It distracts people from my bass playing, it is so sexy.

I'm a chameleon. I dress for the occasion, but it's always uptown.

Me in my Rush tribute band at a barn wedding.

I totally want to hear Rush on a pedal steel!

... being held on 'stand-by' for a TV gig because I was the 'wrong skin colour'. That was for an R&B gig which I eventually did.....a 100% mime.....

Ha. Funny. I quit a Chook's band No Justice because they wanted me to mime a keyboard sequenced fretless line with a fretted bass on Hey Hey and Vizard.

.. oh and If there's a look for a bassist - I didn't get the memo.

A look? I thought you're supposed to look bored...

Vizard.....that's old school!


What's a Chook (I mean. Apart from chicken)? Should I be worried I've roused some weird sentiments?

But yeah man. Miming is rife on that program. I mean Harry Connick's band mimed. The only instruments not on the track was tenor sax solo and vox....Pretty disappointing.

It's interesting actually.....I was on tour in Canada last year and NO TV shows were mimed. I'm sure lots are, but none that we did.

I can vouch to say that pretty much everything on Sunrise and the 'special guests' on X-Factor are mimed too.
