A few gig pics (honeyburst 'Ray content)

[Bill]

Since we've had a couple of recent threads containing gig pics, here's one from me. This is from February 9th at the Texas Club in Baton Rouge. My 'Ray killed!

Bill, you played a club called Texas in Louisiana?

And without a hat?

You do know there's a hefty fine involved.

 

[Bill]

And without a hat?

I knew I had forgotten something!

Looking good Bill.

Was the SR5 not required that night?

 

[Bill]

It's funny 'cause I got the SR5 the very next day! It missed the gig by about 12 hours.

Sweet bass!!! Mine should be here any minute now...

It's a coinky dink, my basses always arrive like that too!

Cool pics Bill! Sweet looking bass. Bet it plays smooth.

The cool thing about honeyburst is that it looks great with both a rosewood board w/ white pickguard AND/OR with a maple board w/ black pickguard I think.

Sweet pics Bill! Let me know when the SR5 goes live.

Cool - looks like fun!


I didn't think anyone used those stretchy cords any more!

Bill you forgot to wear cowboy boots also
I have a fond memory of Baton Rouge also. I played in Hilton Baton Rouge in 1981 and I visited a nice local music store in downtown. I played down south in early 80's and women were much more friendlier than up here

Nice bass, nice amp , nice everything!

PS Bill, you were right.... can't beat a StingRay through a GK

+1
I don't know how you can get away with that cord.

You can still get coiled guitar cord at Radio Shack
I should start using those because my bass cord and my guitar cord always get tangled up on stage Only if Radio Shack makes better shielded low noise cables

I love Honeyburst and I love Stingrays......................... I am losing it gradually hanging out here. I want them allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Bill]

I tell ya, that coiled cable doesn't give me any problems with tangles & kinks. Plus, I think it looks cool.

You know who makes a great coiled cable? A company called Bullet Cable (I think that's their name). Do a Google search. 40 bucks at Rudy's in NYC for a 20 footer, in various colors. Very cool.

More generally, I'm glad to see so many honey's on the board recently. I feel like I'm in a club within a club!

Yes, indeed! It's so easy to play & it feels so good.

Sweet pics Bill! Let me know when the SR5 goes live.

It had its first gig about a week & a half ago! It passed with flying colors. Unfortunately, it was at a wedding reception, so it's unlikely that photos will materialize.

Cool! The Hilton is now the Marriott, and the women here are still friendly.

Nice bass, nice amp , nice everything!

Thanks! I absolutely LOVE the combination of a 'Ray & a GK!

That's exactly what I use! I bought this one probably 2 years ago, and it's never given me a bit of trouble. It seems very heavy-duty.
