Lead Bass..? Oh yes! I'm back at it :)

I may be unconsciously doing some things differently because I am playing and singing. But that's why I love this feedback because I can fix it if I am alerted to it haha! So, thank you!
Excuses excuses ? We all do things in the heat of live, plus you are singing too you need not apologize. Thank you for the photo. I always found the POG s s bit dry and harsh but the tube amp does help.
loop my forward to seeing and hearing more soon.

My pedalboard from past weekend. I used the Quint into Tube Overdrive for some power blues 'trio' tunes with the drummer to give the gtr player a break and do some tunes he didn't know but the singer and I did.

Just watched the video for "New Eyes". Liked that very much, great song, kinda retro made me feel not so old a fool.

Very nice :) I like this "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" hahaha! We wrote New Eyes as a full band but it's one we could easily convert and still play as a twp piece. Thanks for diggin' deeper into our video library ;)

This is really inspiring to me, especially as someone who is eager to do the POG + Distortion Bass/Drum duo thing. I showed this to my wife, and we agree: you have wicked pipes!!!

Well thank you! We figure at the very last, we can be an inspiration and sorta pass along the core of how we were inspired to do this. We are as excited about playing music as we ever have been. It's quite the rebirth lol
 
You’re a great singer! It’s not easy to play bass and sing. I personally could not lead singing and lead bass.
The song sounded good.
For someone only playing 8 months you’re doing fine.
We could all benefit from more practice.
I think it’s very clever using what you have and getting the sounds you are!
Cheers!

It's always a work in progress for sure. I have been singing most of my life but playing bass lines that are not always going along with the vocal has been the challenge. My drummer has been encouraging me for sure. I think we were both surprised that we might actually be able to pull this off haha. We now know, in time, with lot's of rehearsal/practice, we're going to do some things we can both be very proud of ;) It's truly all we've ever wanted. Than you for checking us out!
