Many years ago I popped in to see an old band of mine and was surprised to see the guitarist standing at the bar and someone else playing guitar. Apparently the guitarist arrived too drunk to play and the BL asked if there was a guitar player in the house. There was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My band has just added a 3rd guitarist precisely so we do have spare. We're an instrumental band so it's a bit more crucial when one of the guitarists is in more a "lead singer" role.

James Nada Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I've recently acquired a Digitech Drop pedal and intend to use that as "back up" bass by setting it to octave down and using the band's common spare guitar. It'll be good enough to get through a gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned, especially as I’d checked it was working before I set off. Ditto. Only once, but once was enough. However I do sometimes test fate.......😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
