Thanks to all the LOG members for wishing the band good luck!!
You guys may know that none of the guys in Third Obsession are spring chickens. We actually formed the band to keep doing something musical even though our lives were too hectic to devote more than a day (sometimes 2) per week to writing and recording. Heck, most get-togethers last only an hour and a half. Even so, we clicked and quickly realized that we had to do something besides jam in a basement and record ourselves.
Tonight, the relative unknowns (we've had <10 gigs in the last 1.5 years, hehehe) beat 4 well known local acts, one of which has won something like 5 battles. We get over 5K in prizes including studio time w/ a grammy nominated, Dove winner and we get to open for a major heavy/hard rock name when they come to town. We've tried for months to get gigs at the popular places, but couldn't cause we basically had no connections or respected references. I feel like Rocky Balboa.
Aaah, Jedi Bass plays w/ "levitating" thumb
Still need a thumbrest for the B string work though. Hmmmmmm, maybe that's another part of the reason I never could get into a P. I say slap a MM pup in her, that's mine a Happyface's next dream Lakie combination. But, I feel that's not an option for ya, so I say thumbrest.

*grins knowingly* They just fit so well in the mix, don't they? This is why I'm a P-bass guy at heart. Glad you're digging it, Randy.
