blue Posted March 11, 2017 Share 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.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Nice Blue, very nice. Although surely you are a professional rather than amateur musician? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue [/quote] Enjoyed that, cheers for sharing. 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
