Summer gigs
« on: June 09, 2022, 03:49:43 PM »
Bookings are happening again and the calendar is starting to fill up for the next three months. Currently performing a three week theater gig on top of some nightclub gigs. I will be playing my Series I this Saturday. First time to play it out. Great sounding room too. I'm looking forward to hearing the bass with a band. Here is a shot in rehearsal.

Thank you, David! I look forward to seeing your new 6 string when I makes it's way to you.

Oh, and look at that checking on the finish. Love it!

I wonder if there is a way to reproduce that kind of finish if a customer wanted a new bass with a vintage look about it?
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Thank you both.

 Looks like I picked up a theater gig for the next two weeks. The production is Memphis and I'll take some shots of my rig when I get set up. Apparently the bass player they hired bailed at dress rehearsal so I'll get the book tomorrow and start on Tuesday. Should be fun!

I played my Series I tonight but I'm going to need a 5 string for the gig. Just got the score yesterday and missed a few tunes with lower tuning. Sounded great even though the small rig.
