Now No Minimum Age - Old Basstards Club

[Marko 1]

I’m fifty four, but I agree that you’re only as old as you feel, which would put me closer to seventy four.

I still lug gear, but if this band lasts much longer, I may be looking at some of them-there newfangled lighter amps and speakers.

So long as it’s free, I’ll take that number.

 

[5StringBlues]

How come I'm not on this list already? Old, cranky, persnickety, and ready to whack any cheeky young whippersnapper who crosses me with a spoon.

60 and still pumping out classic rock (although I carry a 6 pound head now - still working on getting lighter cabs). I'd like a number, please

 

[PerlNinja]

I'm not that old, but I'm one heck of a cynical grumpy curmudgeon, does that qualify?

I'm giving Fassa the benefit of the doubt. She might be a closet curmudgeon, but she's got some work to do.

[DaBassman]

I still carry my father's membership card to the "International Order of Old Bastards" he got in the early 1970's (member # 770281)!! So please sign me up! Oh, and Bah Humbug!

 

[Pilgrim]

I should shuffle into the room and join. Age 61, sold my heavy gear and bought a Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0/12T combo, with a Shuttle 210 cab to stack the T12 on. I've made the change to lighter gear and it's great!

And because I'm an old fart with set habits, I picked up a Genz-Benz 15" cab for times when I just can't resist a 15. Gonna put casters on it later today so's I can roll it around.

If I want to go heavy, I can roll out my G-B 15 and stack the 2x10 on top...

 

[trkelley]

Gimme a damn number. My ratty gray hair sticks up, I can't see the numbers on my amp fer sh*t, my boobs fell and I'm glad cuz the bass hangs more evenly. I wear Depends under my leathers on stage, cuz when i headbang, I piss myself, even sober. I snarl and growl at every young morsel that comes in and they buy me beer anyway. My tattoos are illegible and I still record with reel-to-reel machines. All tube. Piss off you posers.

 

[jumbodbassman]

54 and counting. wish i had enough hair to turn gray.... Playing as much now as i did when i was 20. 4 or 5 situations depending on how the moon and stars are that week. play 3-4 times a month. no more svt and such. eden head into avatar 2-12 for most gigs excepot i will break out the bigger guns for outside gigs 2-15 and 6-10 with ampeg hybrid heads or a hartke 7000. then of course my back barks for a few days...

 

[lotusland9663]

Great ideas Stumbo, - I'll check out the Nike Trail Runners and shoe inserts.
I also use a dolly to move my gear - much easier on the back!

 

[bassbobh]

60 and still gigging regular.

 

[bherman]

Age 56, gigging regularly. My PBass is almost as old as me, do I get a number for my bass also?

 

[plankspanker13]

This club has no shortage of laughs, to be sure.

 

[Muttleybass]

FINE. Gimme a number.

Then again I just sold my cab to get a Neo because I got tired of hauling the old one. I was thinking I was as young as I feel... which would make me about 102.

Actually I'm 51.

 

[Reeder]

I am 55 and yes Iam a O D B Iwill take a #

 

[mkandolf]

I'll take a number! I'm old, at least that's what they keep telling me around here.

 

[mrjim123]

Sorry for the late post. I've been so T I R E D lately (or I forgot, I can't remember which). Hey, I'm gonna rebuild a Neo cab because it's too heavy- seriously!

BTW, sig-worthy post, trkelley.

Now everybody have a Merry Christmas and go away!

[lonote]

Well, I'm 62. When I was in my 20's, the smart money said that I'd never live this long. Beating the odds is fun!

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Still going strong at 53...so...

...get off my lawn you young whippersnappers!

and a bah humbug to you all.
