Did you ever share a bill with a female-fronted group called Cherry White? I did so many of those gigs, invariably to no-one, and I might have been enjoying some of Camden’s other offerings I can’t remember. However, I recall a band at the carnarvon castle circa 2003/4 doing something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, in that case there's another bassist who's been using the same party trick - CW didn't come into existence until nearer 2011! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t have slapped by the way. Not that I've ever played Camden, but I used to play that sometimes at soundchecks! Never know what it was called until I looked it up on YouTube just now...

mr4stringz Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Does my frickin’ box in when a bassist slaps the living feckery out of their bass during soundcheck then doesn’t play even a passage of slap in their set. Amazes me how often this still happens. Completely pointless. personally though, a few runs of whatever I feel at the time and playing as hard as I do during a set which, perish my right hand, is hard and right in the sweet spot of a Precision 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I should probably post this. (Bass starts at 3.29) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It's been rather a long time since the last PA-supported gig I did but it's generally been plunk plunk a few times when soundman says "just play a note" and then make up something in the general region of where I play most stuff and played at the volume which I use for most of my playing.

thepurpleblob Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 What's a sound check? Best bit of advice I ever had - plug it in, switch it on, play a note. If it works, put it down 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
