With Sheffield Philharmonic, tackling Mahler 5 I think. The four basses got to sit centre stage on a raised platform, instead of being hidden at the back for a change!

Couple of me demonstrating my appalling left-hand shape (self taught I'm afraid!) and poor right-hand position. But in the second one you can just see the edge of my flat cap that the bass was wearing as it got a bit too hot :¬)

I presume that is what the scroll is for? :)

Is that what it's called? "hat hook" seemed a bit too simple... ;¬)

I had a search and realised I could not see a DB/EUB porn page or one for putting gig shots into, I know I want to see you lot and your gear in action so I have started one, only EUB for now but hoping for some DB pics in a few weeks at an acoustic gig.

Stagg in action....

Lets see some more folks, standing, sitting, with or without the misery stick, antiques at the orchestra or flame blazen beasts at the rock and roll show. :D

Pete, is the flat cap optional if you go down the big bass route.......no problem for a Yorkshireman mind.

These photos are awesome. I'd love you guys to create photo threads for each of your bands in the Gigs forum, and copy these pics there, and then I'd pin the threads (and eventually create a subforum dedicated to them) :)

I've just been compiling the summer's festy gig photos to put up on the band website - got some nice ones....#

Oh great pics, rev. i love to see a band having a ball. :)

Cheers guys! The bass is an East German ply from the late 60s as far as I can work out - probably from the Musima factory judging by the dovetail neck joint and the V profile neck. I had a bit of work done to the neck and fingerboard and it plays lovely now. It looks a lot prettier in the pictures than it does in real life - it's got a fair few battle scars!

As for having a ball... I'll be honest with you boys- I don't remember a whole lot about the gig in the last three pictures. We got to the festival around 2pm, the sun was shining, the mood was high and the scrumpy was free. We went on at 10pm.... :gas:

I think my German blonde is the same. It's a sixties instrument and has a V profile neck. It's starting to make a very nice sound but I'll have to take the string height down over the winter. Too good for a beater.
