*******THE LONE WOLF CLUB**********

I haven't yet either --- though I was thinking last night about what kind of names I'd use for a bass, acoustic, and electric.
definitely female.. And her name is 'jazz'
Great curves..... Black body and blonde neck
I spend a lot of time with her and it is a great relationship ...
She went shopping online on Friday night and bought herself two sets of flats..
As far as bags and accessories its leather straps and a soft bag for local travel.
Hard travel case preferred for overnight or long distance travel...
She doesn't like sitting in the sun but will stay up late at night given the chance..
She has an older 5 string sister and two p bass cousins with another member of the family...
They were all born in USA and Jazz seems to like living with me since she made the journey down under..
Jazz for all intents and purposes is well mannered on the outside but she certainly has her raunchy side ...
She is a pick or fingers type of girl and doesn't seem to care too much for that slap and pop, but is ok with a bit of a spanking every now and then...

Haha I wish, bass #1 is Igor/The Henchman, bass #2 was going to be The Minion (he's SS) but the more I hang out with him the more he reminds me of a middle school-er....so small, fat and awkward. My amp is like my lab and I am The Madam or Mad Dame depending on my mood. 
Hi guys
I need a pass out from the lone wolf club so that I can re join when I come back
I went to an audition with a blues band last night and they want me to come back !! Yay
I was a bit nervous going in as I had a set list of 30 songs with a weeks notice
I managed to work on a few songs in the lead up and listened to as many of the others as I could
The rest I had to rely on my ears and at the end of a 3 hour session I realised that I had played in every song.
I said I am happy to come back if you want me to and 'yay' I got a compliment to boot. ..
They reckon I was solid..!! I was wrapped
I got the text this morning and i am on for next session
Straight ahead blues, the drummer was awesome and my rig sounded good
Sometimes things just come together and the last 5 months in the shed and my time spent in the lone wolf club on TB have really been worth it....
Thanks guys much appreciated

Here's an ol' rocker for ya' all... Kiss My B'Ass!
Brothers and sisters! Lone me a num-ber...
been a lone-wolf for a long, long time!
But I've played with the best... the heroes and the outlaws...
the greatest stars of the cen-tu-ry!
Oh, they never make mistakes... an' they keep good time...
though many are gone... they still rise to the o-ccasion...
when its quiet at night... and i place the needle down...
I turn up the volume an' they all come around!
Yeah! Playin' with myself... in the Wood Shed!
Havin' lots of fun.. just me and my bass..
Practicin' till dawn... workin' on a callus...
"Scales in all keys with arpeggios!"
I got a big rig - but I don't wanna gig...
I only rock alone - for my own satis-faction...
You're holding auditions? You can fit me in a slot?
Hell, I ain't no nickel! I don't need what you got...
Cause, I'm playin' with myself... in the Wood Shed!
Havin' lots of fun.. just me and my bass..
Recordin' all night... workin' on a hit song...
With James n' Ray,
n' Willie! It's okay!
With Paul n' Chuck,
n' Geddy! It's okay!
With Rod n' Duck
n' Carol! It's okay!
Just lone me a number!

My latest audition fell through before I was even scheduled, so I'm still lone-wolfing.
The latest:
[SOUNDCLOUD]http://snd.sc/1bsQp9r[/SOUNDCLOUD]
Not my most fantastic bass part ever, and a very different tone from what I normally use, but it serves the mood of the piece.

I'm an old lone-wolf... AROOOOGH!!! And I'm having a ball! 
I've accrued an over-flowing supply of Tutorial CD's and books to learn from, whether is is electric bass, double bass (try bowing with the stick o'pain), guitar, plectrum banjo (an under-rated instrument) and now drums - just to improve my riddum.
I'm also practicing technique and theory and reading music - even classical stuff (it just took time - and effort - especially in the beginning). There is so much it just goes on forever. Not to mention an extensive record and CD collection to play along with. And then there is YouTube... and TalkBass! 
Why do I do this?? Just for my own pleasure and satisfaction. Better than any hobby I can think of ('cept for chasin' after womens).
Some people collect stamps but they don't want a job with three other collectors making them. Neither do shady tree mechanics... or amateur athletes or artists or wood carvers... they just do it for themselves... I probably enjoy talkin' about music with others more than trying to start a band with 'em... Music is a passion and playing with others is great! But why start a band...? Stuck with the same ol' goofy lookin' faces all the time... playin' the same ol' songs. I'd rather be a butler... or a proctologist...
I've played in bands and I've played professionally. They only pay chump change now for musicians (or they want you to bring your friends and family down to be the payin' audience) - it ain't worth it to pack-up, lift carry and drive and set-up and play and tear down and take it all back home and unpack and ... WHEW! HOLY CRAB!
And if you thought the heartbreak of psoriasis wasn't bad enough,
you can find the heartbreak and headaches and back-stabbing pains by being in bands or in the music biz, period. 
They're all scammers now. 
Every one's trying to control you or make you do what they want... or build a career on your back... or tape your bass lines so's they can steal 'em... 
You got to be a damn fool to waste your time in shed bands playin' in an unfinished basement beside the furnace, below your skill level, at a repetitious repertoire of someone else's favourite tunes - or probably their wife's faves... 
ain't no shed bands made it big in fifty years anyway - you ain't missin' nothin'...
Play with yourself... for yourself... by yourself... at least you be warm and dry and indulge in your favourite indulgence, whilst you play along with the best musicians in the world - on your stereo...

Lol!
I guess i qualify. I'm in a duo with my gf but we basically don't even do songs together, she records the voice after i do all the music. And we're not gigging.... yet. The idea is to have enough songs to gig eventually. I'm up to 6. I'm making the goal 12.
The last time i was in a band was almost ten years ago. I don't get along well with people, especially musicians (most of them like a social life and going out and stuff), and i HATE having to compromise on sound. The only thing i'd kill for is someone with producing experience and who's overall good with sound.

Yeah, whatever. Playing bass all alone is almost like playing baseball alone. No bueno.

...Depending on what piece you're playing, bass by itself is every bit as enjoyable and engaging as guitar,violin, piano, sax, etc...I tend to focus on parts that are interesting enough in themselves that playing along to a recording is not needed....Which is how I perfer to play....Just me and the tones.
