A few years ago now I was subbing for a good bassist when he had a bit of a bust up with his band (not for musical reasons, I should add). Short version - he and the band parted company and I got the gig.

This week I've picked up some work with another band and it seems they also parted company with their regular bassist very recently after a disagreement. Yes, you guessed it - same guy. Phalex has suggested I actually have the Deluxe Red effect operating just for this particular player. :D

I don't know the full details, it's not really my business and even if I did I'd respect him and the band by not posting them here. But I hope if I ever meet him again we get on okay as he's always been a very helpful guy to me in the past, easy to get along with and a terrific player.

Not sure whether he ever uses TB or not, but just in case - no hard feelings I hope, mate. Get in touch and let me know how you're doing these days.
 
I'm just happy you posted this thread Bill! On FB you're fair game, but over here you're... Well..... You're God aren't you? At least a bit around the eyes in your avatar......
