That gig was very much with the punk ethos of use what you have and just get up and do it. I'd only been learning to play for a week or 2. Edit for the song list.

BILL POSTERS Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Wouldnt want to hijack HF's thread, but it just occurred to me that a 'spot the Bass player' thread mught be an idea. Old band photos without instruments and see who looks like the Bassman. Have to have a mooch, see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
