300 miles for a gig

[DTG]

I just drove 300 miles to play two gigs with my old band back home,got to bed at 2 am got up at 6am and drove back to go to work just so I could try out my new stingray 5.It was amazing......just amazing.......
I have never had such a huge grin on my ugly mug for so long......just amazing.....
Ran it through my Super redhead 2x10 combo and a 1x15 cab,such a full tight sound twas great........need some sleep soon..........just bl**dy amazing

.......need some sleep soon..........

Sleep is an overrated expirience!!! Congrats on the new bass!

Ahhh, I can remember when a 300 mile trip was a local gig!

Enjoy that bass!

I've been on the road for the past 4 days playing and we've travelled 500+ miles so far and lookin' at a nice amount more. It's great.

I agree with Psycho Ward. 300 miles was nothing back in the day. 4 guys crammed into a 69 chevy pulling a u-haul.... well you all know the rest of the story. Anyways glad you got to jam with your buddies!

I actually flew from L.A. to mow my yard in Chapel Hill, NC, then back to the tour the next day. I was a road dog, 6 months out at a time was normal for me, for several years. Now if I have to drive across town I whine about it.

Get the booking agent to find another gig on the way or a little further on, and make it an overnighter. Love those Friday/Saturday night road trips!

Friday night (150 miles down the road):

Saturday night (a further 100 miles down the road from the first place):

Yes, it's cool. Do you like my pink handbag too?

 

[jongitarz]

lol....I didn't notice that, Mark. It matches your drummers shirt, or the singers hair thingy.

Jon, that's easy ..... "huh?"

I read the Wiki entry but I'm still don't get it. Is it something to do with Miranda's hairstyle, or my beergut?

 

[jongitarz]

I don't get it either. But there are a few posts by pzolover I don't get. Maybe it's just me..... No, it isn't.

Yup good old Ireland,I was going to take the bus but it only comes every other wednesday!!! 300 miles in ireland take 6/7 hours.
I used to tour Europe with the band and we really have the worst roads this side of the pond!

Cruise control......i would like a "miss the pot holes " control.

However as always I would do it again any day.Its is a few years since I sold my last sr4(what a mistake it was).I just had a huge smile with the sr5,guess i just missed the Musicman sound.
