Pains me to say it (and I know I'll come into some flack for this..........) but whats with wearing your bass up by your chin? I s'pose I'm the 'anti' to the Billy Sheehan school.... 'you gotta practice standing up'!!!! Horses for courses I presume.

And, yes..... your singer is a sweaty momma!!!!!





















BTW......................... nice hat!

[Clydefrog]

Ah, go on then. I'm a lightweight really. The beanie gets flung behind the drums roughly halfway through the first set- too blimmin hot.




Cheers,

Nice to see the old tit'fer thread back
Them?

Here's a couple of dodgy hat wearers, Rich on the left depping for Mustang Sally (on my Shuker p5) and me, in one of my Pork Pie Hats, on the tenor ..

<----

I was warned that it would be a bad idea to start with because of the added heat but paradoxically it stops the sweat getting into my eyes... and looks a bit better than Mark Knopfler's headband.

and slightly more 'laid back' (notice how the hat angle reflects this mood )



and a couple of more *ahem* [i]silly[/i] hats

[OldGit]

Ah the Dame Shirley Footwear approach!

[Dood]

I think theres some of me with rather chubby chops, wearing a 'Samuel Jackson' hat at one of the bass bashes. Sorry I have no pics at the mo with said hat on!

I use strap locks and have 2 on my strap, one as you see high for comfort and playing the difficult bits, and one a lot lower for rock posing

it's an 'Artisan'.

found it at my local market music shop place. i think it comes from the same factory that pumps out Shine, Wulf, Harley Benton, Holland & Barret, you know the ones. it's a 1 piece mould, some sorta plastiky stuff. very very bright and harsh sounding, but with the right eq-ing does a very nice upright sound. just watch out for the feedback!

I like my hats. From the Dudley Beer Festival (and my 50th birthday):

and, after being attacked by the rest of the band

Beautiful hat it is to, made by Jill Corbett of Brighton.

After Saturday's gig I've decided to get a bandana. I'll see how much sweat that manages to keep out of the eyes.

Does that qualify?
