Watching your own band with a dep bassist

[HengistPod]

Last band I was in that I left (to go and do a PhD), they got another guy in who completely changed the way the band sounded. Nice bloke, but a guitarist really - as was obvious in his playing style. Not more notes, not higher up the neck, just a lack of understanding of what the bass is there to do.

We'd been doing quite well, playing all over the north of Scotland from Ullapool to Tobermory to Dundee, regularly 2-3 gigs a weekend. They folded within a few months.
