Took the 4-94'ish Carlo to my VFW honky tonk gig last night. When I started playing with this fellow a few months ago I was just playing my classic styled basses (modded MIM P-bass and artcore) because they fit the look so well. However the Carlo snuck into a casual gig a few weeks ago and has making appearances since. Last night it sounded and played so good that I didn't even pick up the P-bass.

It's probably coming to every gig now. Might not fit the old-school country look (and this is a real consideration to me) quite as well as a P-bass, but the general shapes and block inlays still have a reasonably classic look to them. Further, I increasingly can't see the point in having such a nice instrument if it isn't being played out.
 
A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you all!

Won't be playing any of my lakies for Christmas Eve service tonight.... The mix of songs demands I play this ( in the middle)...

....I don't play it enough and it is a blast to play!

One of the tunes is "Born that we may have life" by Chris Tomlin.... Very fun on an upright...
