Had a good gig with the latin/funk band last night. Our keyboard player was with his other band so it was just guitar, bass, drums, percussion and one female vocal. We had to drop a few keyboard heavy numbers and put in a few safe covers to pad the set out. It worked out fine. The audience were really up for it and the landlord was watching all night and said how much he enjoyed it.
On another note I took along my freshly completed Squier frankenstein bass. It has an '80s Squier Jazz neck and a SD quarter pounder and it plays and sounds great .
I finished it off with a set of flat wound strings which was a mistake for me. I tried it on the first three numbers but i wasn't feeling it. I guess flat wounds are not for me. This week it will be restrung with rounds and i will be taking it to my next gig.
