Gig Spam - SR5 content

[oldbluebassman]

We played an outdoor charity fundraiser yesterday. Thought you might like to see what a bunch of geriatrics, Gill excluded of course, get up to in the UK at a weekend. Unusually it wasn't raining and was quite hot, well for here anyway.

I was playing without PA support through an Epifani UL502 and two 1x12s. The SR5 was beautifully growly, punchy and cut right through the mix.

Looks nice with the Status neck too man......

Great shots! The bass is classy--did the graphite neck get sticky in the heat?

Heh....why is it always the singer that can't remember their parts and have to use a music stand for the words?

Thanks. Not at all. By the time we were on it was cloudy and a light breeze. I find it stickyness more of a problem with wooden necks.

I know, after all all they've got to do is learn the words. Maybe it's a blonde thing

Nice shots! Looks like a great time.

I've got a guitar player/singer who can break free of his music stand - drives me crazy!

Great pics Dave. Did your mum put your trousers in the clothes dryer by mistake?

Give us a break Mark - there are only a few days a year us Brits can break out 3/4 length shorts let alone shorts.....

Where's the flood?


... I still sneak a music stand when I can, and when I can't my music is usually on top of my amp. I'm afraid of the "Duh, what instrument do I play again?" moments I have some times.

No since I turned 60 I've started growing alarmingly.

Great shots Dave. Outdoor gigs are fun no matter where you get a chance to play them.

Maybe you can talk Mark into sending you a shirt to go with the britches.

I've got one or two like his. I used to wear them with a former band but as they were playing after us I though it might confuse people.
