I got a gig

[skabassist13]

hello,
i know from the title you must be thinking "woo hoo, he got a gig, so what?". well, its not just any gig. its a youth group gig. im pretty sure im going to be the bass player for a band at one of the local churches. so yeah, pretty stoked. the guitarist is supposed to call me soon and we get it finalized and stuff and bam, cranking out the jams. i went and watched them perform today and the youth group. the seriously need a bass player. there was alot of bottom end and dynamic that the bass provides that was missing. now all i need is a stingray and ill be all set. especially since my current bass is falling apart. i broke the saddle adjustment screw. no, not like into 2 pieces, i broke of part of the ident the allen key is supposed to go into. that, and my neck is all f'ed up. it wiggles in the neck pocket with the screws tightened down. so yeah. in need of a new bass. oh well. ill just use what i got till i cant use it no more. thought id share with you guys on my worshiping/ bass playing career. ill let ya'll know how it all works out in a few days.

Whoa--"Youth group gig" and "f'ed up" in the same paragraph. Sounds like it was just in the nick of time....

Congrats!

It's decent, but you only get wine and crackers.


Whoops--wrong gig.

the guy hasnt called me yet. but its only been a day so im not to worried yet. if he doesnt call me by wednesday i can just go to the youth group and talk to him in person. as for flywheels ray, i would take any ray i could get my paws on. BUT I AINT GO NO MONEY. i have to wait till christmas i guess. or till i graduate from high school(over a year). i want an MM like crazy. i hate money. but hopefully my squier will keep ticking for a while.

 

[tkarter]

I can send you a bridge that is stock Fender from my Jazz if that will help. PM me.

[skabassist13]

thank you for the offer, but its ok. my bass is fine, but i want an mm. so i think its a p.o.s.. its like champagne tastes on a beer budget.

 

[tkarter]

I thought I had read where you had broken the bridge on it. Offer is still good if it isn't playing correctly. Good luck on the gig and even a squier sounds good in a players hands and when you get a gig you da player.

[skabassist13]

it works. i snapped part of the saddle height screw. i just thought it was a bad thing to break something like that. but really its not. its just a screw. but once again, thank you for the offer.

 

[tkarter]

Great and your welcome. Wish you the best on the gig.

[skabassist13]
