blue Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Hope the link works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skVMVtnBE7Y I'm posting it to give an example of what I mean by US Midwest Bar Band. We are not a pro band by any means. We are an amateur band (11 years and going strong) that just happens to work a lot. Good people, gigging , making money and most of all having fun. Blue Quote

Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Nice Blue, very nice. Although surely you are a professional rather than amateur musician? Quote

There's actually a few Maple Road vids in the links on youtube beneath the clip, including an 18 minute demo reel which at one point has you up front and centre playing what looks like a rather snazzy T bird style bass on All Along the Watch Tower, not an invisible bear in sight.

Damonjames Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Tidy little band you have there blue. You can tell you all approach it with professionalism, and are well rehearsed (or play regularly). The singers voice reminds me of sheryl Crowe. Keep up the good work mate! Quote
NoRhino Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 The Scots have a word that sums you up Blue; Gallus. It's a compliment. Quote

Right now it's my primary gigging bass. I had put it away for a year, I forget why. It's really a cool bass. It looks great sounds great. I purchased it used about 10 years ago. I really got a good deal on it. Edited March 12, 2017 by blue Quote
Number6 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Cool vids. I like your laid back playing style Blue 👍 Quote
andytoad Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 That's a great bass tone 17mins into your showreel during name intros.. Quote
