I'm not going to be quite that provocative - round here there are no bass players and I've had lots of offers to play. My relic p bass gets lots of admirers too from those who've seen them but never touched one or consciously heard one (the vicar is a big fan). I may as well have walked in with a balalaika in pink paisley
Sadly some of the offers to join are beyond my low ability or repertoire at the moment but it happens often.

Most of the open mics in my neck of the woods are predominantly acoustic and there's not a bass in sight.

Place i go there is one guitarist who describes himself as "good on a bad day and f&&@ing awesome on a good day"and on his slot he spent nine minutes widdling away on his les Paul copy
I don't think the vicar, mums, dads and assorted tired children knew what to make of it
The church one I go to, basses are unheard of and people started clapping along as soon as I started playing
Which was nice
Don't think they had ever seen a bass before

Ok fair enough
Please gents keep offers of sales to p.m. only. I don't want to do any locking or deleting because the OT is a genuine request for info, so please keep all replies as advisory only. Thanks.

A Zoom B3 with headphones.
Or a 400w Hartke...

Yes
Zoom is enough, and popular with the local residents too
