Your probably right. Blue

Who cares what Macca thinks. I didn't like it. Blue
-
I'm one of those die hards, maybe the biggest die hard. I did not appreciate Qs comments. Blue
-
I'm completely down on QJ right now. He picked on the wrong guys. I'm maintaing my position on principal. In my world you don't rip on The Beatles. Blue
-
Nice pic! Blue
-
Quincy can have his opinion, however his opinion goes right into my " makes no sense" box. Blue
-
No actually we have another guy over here that also blurts out controversial statements that don't make any sense. Blue

Good Lord Quincy. Most didn't know what an electric bass guitar was until Paul showed up. Blue
-
I say completely un-understandable. Everyone knows the Beatles were not seasoned pro jazz studio musicians. Most ignorant comment of 2018. Way to go Q. Blue
-
I'm very dissapoinred in Quincy. His opinion on Paul are stupid. No other way to put it. Blue
-
Very nice, and that's a really nice case. Blue

In the States paying gigs are a lot harder to win. Start ups, originals bands and for fun bands are lass picky Blue
-
Exactly, good bands are not always good at auditioning people. I remember completely nailing an audition and losing to a guy that cane to the audition unprepared, he didn't have reliable transportation either. He was a friend of the guitarist , he got the gig He had no experience and prooved hinself unreliable. He lasted 6 weeks and they fired him They still didn't want me. Blue

Sounds really cool to me Dave. Blue
-
Gigging at 60 plus can be really cool if your in the right space. Meaning proper gigs that pay and are fun. Blue
-
I'm 64 Dave and I still want to gig as much as possible. Saw a few summer festival bookings come through today but overall I need more. 3 gig weekends is where I like to be. I say, why not gig till you drop dead.😁 Blue

If I ever become an international star it will be written in my contract that nobody can look at me, talk to me, stand near me or even think about me.😁😁 Blue

I would think a Rolling Stone package invoices out for at least million dollars. After all the agents are paid, 54 trucks and all the production, who knows what is left. However the lion's share go to Mick & Keith and then Ronnie as a full member gets a nice chunk. I would bet any other sidemen other than Daryl are walking away with anything between 3 and 5 grand.And that goes for Bernie & Lisa. It's still cool money for an hour and a half of work. I could be wrong. Blue

When I joined the band 6 years ago, the focus was to gig as much as possible. We were playing 70 gigs a year. Now, it seems like they want to cut back on gigs and I can't afford to do that. Blue
-
I'm only experienced at certain aspects of playing. Keep in mind ,because some of us have been playing for decades on end doesn't necessarily mean we're all that experienced. To be honest I'd say my claim or real experience is understanding all the dynamics of band culture and how to be in a band. Definitely not the best bass player around. Blue
-
I can't remember when I wasn't gigging. However I could be in your shoes in the not to distant future. Gigging is all I really have in life. I'm proactively looking for an intact established band with a decent book of business ( 70 gigs annually ) that's making money. No start ups, no originals bands. Blue

Easy for who ? 😁 Trust rods, saddles all I've ever managed to do is screw things up. $60.00 gets me new strings and adjustments by an ace luthier. I use to do those sort of things when I was young and could see and think clearly. Blue
-
Interesting, I knew a young lady that played violin in a quartet for Rod Stuart. She was also told not to make any eye contact with him or talk to him. Blue
-
Good luck, There's no way I would mess around with those saddles and attempt to lower the action myself. Blue

Korg Pandora 4, head phones and YouTube and I'm set. Blue
