[Nocturnal]

I did that with a similar keyboard case/bag, but it's heavy(25+ lbs w/o bass)and awkward.

I wondered how easy it would be to carry. That was the drawback to the large Coffin Case I had. Long and hard (Hey Now!!) to fir in a car or to carry.

Monster Mash didn't come up?

Of course it did, but it got vetoed for cheesiness.

It is a once a year song. Around the same cheeziness as "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" or "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree". For once a year, it can be hauled out. And the audience would love it if you celebrate the cheeziness and have fun with it; do a metal, bluegrass, or jazz version.

Separately, I think that 21st Century Schizoid man qualifies as a Halloween song...

Heck. When I played out, that was the only song they let me sing.

Speaking of Oingo Boingo, what about "Dead Man's Party"?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Yes, these people could be the band waiting in the gre... white room before the gig.

With black curtains?

 

[PillO]

With black curtains?

Near the stations?

I went to GC today, looked at a Jackson-Bird 5 string. Big flat fingerboard, I could get on with it but gonna search some more.
Looked just this end of the cheesey scale, didn't take it entirely seriously...

I get that the audience would like Monster Mash.
There is always a balance of cheese vs quality to be considered when choosing songs for a cover band.
In this case our guitarist doesn’t want to play it so I’ll respect that. If there’s something I can’t stomach playing in the future, I can then invoke my cheese veto.

Near the stations?

With a tired starling?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Love that album. Love this song. But... wrong album for this song! (I know, you didn't do that.)

 

[Miles_ONeal]

At my cover band’s practice last night we were deciding on tunes for our upcoming Halloween pub gig:
...BORIS THE SPIDER!!! I suggested this one half-joking, but looks like I’ll be turning up the tone, playing with a pick and singing!
I already know the words (what bass playing Who fan doesn’t?)
I just need to get an octave down effect on my vocals for the chorus - any ideas?

I love this song! When the Ox started it on stage at the Omni in Atlanta in '73, I jumped up and down and screamed just as loudly as when they played the song they wrote about my seeing eye dog.

Yes, I came out a day early, what a lovely day! I’m going to have to spend some more time out this way. Here’s a look at the parade ground at Ft Worden

Enjoy it! Actually, it's probably impossible not to enjoy being there.

Anyone here live in (or within an hour or two of) Edinburgh? The one in Scotland.

Find something there?

Find something there?

There for work a week, then on holiday (vacation). Looking for cool stuff to do, and always up to meet folk face to face.

What are the measurements of that thing? I already have my Charvel in a flight case. What's one more?
