...dude, have you SEEN the movie "Fargo"????
You gotta be a speshul kinda crazy to live through THAT kind of winter....go right ahead.
I might end up like you & Ryan, and think BL is actually beer, with a winter like that!
I tell ya - I was checking out the videos of Ryan's new band, and I was blown away by the production put on for a "local" band. Crappy as the music scene is in these parts, it's been years since we've even had a sound guy for anything other than a festival sort of date. Simple little touches like effects on the vocals just don't get done when you run sound from the stage... I miss having a good sound guy, both for the labor savings and for the quality of the live sound. And don't get me started on lights. I've forgotten what it's like to play under anything other than static lighting. Sigh...
Spoiled, maybe. Lucky, for sure.
That was our first gig together----new female singer, new bass player, and new drummer. So there are a lot of bugs to be worked out yet, but it's coming along.
Casey, the sound guy, is an absolute joy to work with. He's a true pro, and one hard working mofo. I worked with him in a different band years ago, so I was stoked when I joined this band and get to work with him again. We also have a couple different guys that alternate coming with him to help with setup and tear down, but he takes care of all the technical stuff----sound and lighting. That was only part of the light show, he should have it all up and running next weekend.

Hey Joe, where you going with tha.... no, that's not it.
Who ended up with the 3006 I sold you?

Interesting both that you ended up back at two fretted 6 strings (I thought the quest for a 5 recently was quite deliberate) and that it has 19 mm spacing. IME people are usually pretty particular about spacing on 5+ string basses such that if one works for you the other wouldn't. Maybe you're not that sensitive to it.
Yeah. I was definitely going for a 5 string fretted, and got a nice one. I guess that I set it up to nicely because a good buddy (Lionel) wanted it more than I did.
His Roscoe 6 was just too nice to pass up. I played a Elrick 6 with 19mm spacing for 6-7 months (up until a few months ago) and had no issues going between it and the Roscoe 6 with 18.3. And a Roscoe at 19mm and 18.3 play more alike than an Elrick and Roscoe.
The ash/maple Roscoe sounds very different than my signature. Especially after dropping the Demeter in it. Really a nice contrast for my recordings.
Worse case is I trade or sale one of the 6'ers down the road. I learned a long time ago to never say never. It's all fun!
The obligatory bad iPhone family pic...
Nice basses Steve!
It must be just the angle that the picture was taken but those bass bodies appear to be shaped different.
