stingrayPete1977 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 [quote name='super al' timestamp='1507244963' post='3384286'] What if it's an electric double bass? Can I get away without the hat? [/quote] I've come to the conclusion that it depends if you've got an acoustic double bass too then the hat is compulsory, if not then it's optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1507236325' post='3384211'] We have a rule in our band, more of a law actually. No hats and no waistcoats. Nothing screams "Late middle aged rocker" more than those two items. And yes I am 65, and bald.

dmccombe7 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 How do we know that's your hat. ? I think we need to see a pic with you wearing your hat and holding your bass. That could just be a random image of Marcus's own hat. Out of curiosity what style of music are you playing ? Dave PS I'm more the mullet image i'm afraid.

Yank Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 You could always wear a tyrolian so there'd be no confusion with Mr. Miller. Lederhosen optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
