They don't have much of a pick of bass players. I can give rise to some awful behavior! They even indulge my gear fetish "oh, that's a nice new cab you have and what's that, a new pedal? I'm sure they'll sound amazing!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, playing a pub gig standing barefoot in an inch of urine is probably not a good idea. Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Played barefoot at a festival a few summers ago. Went the whole hog and painted my toenails too. Very liberating and comfortable. Feet were filthy at the end tho as the stage was so dirty! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
