After a few 'platform related wobbles' early on with our Glam band (Meniere's can be a bitch) I decided to go with Silver and Sequin adorned Converse..... Wimp! 😉 In the 70s we used to play "football" with a tennis ball during school lunch break whilst wearing platform shoes. It's a wonder none of us broke our ankles. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my Meniere's hits I could lose balance standing on a sheet of paper in slippers mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personnel issues. are wearing me down. I can't comment on your personal issues, but things change so don't cancel everything, just enough to give you the break you need for now. You can always cancel more if necessary, but if you have something to look forward to or work towards, that may be something to help you out of the situation you are in. I hope things improve for you soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Personnel" might have been a typo, but assuming it isn't a typo, I think this is a case of "I'm in a band full of ar$eholes" rather than any more general personal issues... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I misread. Still, the general message is the same. Don't let the personnel make @12stringbassist quit completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
