I'm sitting here learning another song for my new band (Barney Miller theme...hey, we've got a full horn section!) and I didn't want to bother with rigging up anything, so I just sat down with the chart and my Bongo.

Playing unamplified for the first time in a while reminded me of something that has been said here before, but not mentioned in some time...and it might be useful to the newbies.

To wit:

A bass that sounds good unplugged will sound great amplified.

My Bongo sounds not only good, but great unplugged. It has a really "live" resonance to it. You can feel it as you play.

Good gracious me, what a fantastic instrument!

Ha, brings back some great memories. I played Barney Miller many years ago as an opening for our show. I may have to re-learn that one now that you mentioned it.

We also used to do the theme from The Munsters and The Pink Panther.

Thanks for the trip way back! :D
