Not a lot. I'm at school. Bell's about to ring, and then I have a half day. Then, I'm meeting Sara after school at Starbucks and we're hanging at her house. :naughty:

Talk to you guys later tonight.

Hi funk, hi eddie, hi IOPLayBass ;)

Im reaaaaddyyyyy toooo giiigggg :lol:

When you are in the gig-day, do you prepare each thing carefully or you just go and play?

I say this because this week I have been planning each thing so the gig was perfect. From my look (hair, nails, clothes) to the instrument (wires, strap, strings). Im a little paranoid but, as Sheehan says, "when you play you should try to avoid any variable that could affect to your playing", and those are some posible variables. I love the way Sheehan thinks about playing.

Comments?

FUNKNBASS 12-03-2004 07:16 AM

Yeah, I usually get my gear ready, I check amp settings, and I go over my gear with a fine tooth comb. I check it for anything that might be wrong. Though I try not to think of the gig itself as much as what Im going to do after. If I think of only the gig I'll get exited or nervous enough to screw up. Its alot easier thinking about having a beer and relaxing after a show then the show itself.

I like the rain, especially on a day like today where if it rains I get to go home and sleep or just relax.

Mitchell Royce 12-03-2004 07:18 AM

The only thing I usually do is get the band together and make a final run-through of the entire set. Just to make sure we all know our parts well by then and see if there are any issues with equipment/batteries/etc. I rarely ever dress up for a gig. I did once, all black pants and long shirt, and I was sweating like a pig by the second song. I couldn't look down anymore because sweat was dripping into my eyes. Awful, but it was a real fun gig. Especially because everyone left after we played. I feel bad for whoever was on after us.

twopelu 12-03-2004 07:20 AM

Yeah, My girlfriend will be waiting for me after the gig...if it goes well she probably regret my bass playing ;) :lol:

raini days...mmm I dont like them cause Im so weather-sensible so when it rains I feel a little down. Luckily, here in Spain, it doesnt rain too often except in this season.

twopelu 12-03-2004 07:23 AM

I wear an orange nederland Tshirt, black/grey jeans and red skating trainers.

And my blackie bass, is so cool!

Ill be with my band mates from 4 pm to 11 pm, when the gig beggins, so we will have a lot of time to talk and that things. They are more experienced casue they are older and have played numerous gigs so I realy on them. But its the first gig for the singer and me.

twopelu 12-03-2004 07:24 AM

I go eating, then Ill go out with my band mates, see you guys!

Ill tell you how it went this night, or maybe tomorrow. C U

FUNKNBASS 12-03-2004 07:24 AM

Good Luck. Later.

FUNKNBASS 12-03-2004 07:43 AM

Play Bass

Wintermute 12-03-2004 07:45 AM

I've got an utter piece of BS coursework to do, but aside from that, play bass. Maybe cruise round the music shops of Cardiff trying out amps.

FUNKNBASS 12-03-2004 07:47 AM

Hey Winter.

FUNKNBASS 12-03-2004 07:53 AM

See Ya Later Everyone.

jamesr 12-03-2004 07:55 AM

Good morning all. Another fine crap day at work. At least the weekend is right a round the turn. I spent all last night masterbassing with my new head. That amp is the most badass head i ever played on.

jamesr 12-03-2004 07:57 AM

[QUOTE=blizzard]So whats everyone got planned for this weekend?

I will go out to the local clubs and see a band or two, jam with my band, and some solo masterbassing.

jamesr 12-03-2004 07:58 AM

Did anyone get that new primus dvd? I was thinking about getting it this weekend, also the new nirvana box set?

blizzard 12-03-2004 08:00 AM

Hey Jamesr what type of head did you get?

Wintermute 12-03-2004 09:14 AM

Bog standard. There's nothing unusual about it. Kind of grey, overcast and dull.

bottlerocket 12-03-2004 09:16 AM

^ Yeah, it's the same here, but it's absolutely frigid. I think it's about 35 deg F (about 1 deg C).

PA, I've been up for a few hours though. Stupid class, and I'll have to qoute lewis black on this: "why do you teach this at an ungodly hour?! do you want to keep this a secret?!"
