For 2 years I had put up with a Mid Life Crisis Corporate Control freak Guitar player extraordinaire turned semi decent singer/songwriter and a killer drummer who is a basket case Bi-Polar mania mental case...These are the guys I scored the deal with Mercury back in 1991. It could have been a cool band...IF we had a lead singer and not the guitar player attempting to sing. They refused to do my songs...only the guitar players....Sad fact-our Guitar player had become the man he hated most-our ex lead singer. I could not take the demeaning and degrading, insults and the fact that they were treating me like it was 1991. Apparently, too much baggage and too many issues...
So.....a week after I quit...I play with John Densmore from the Doors at a block party...then........a week later....
I traded my 200 watt Hiwatt stack for a 1977 T bird.....which I traded for a '69 Custom shop Stratocaster (That was a REALLY NICE GUITAR) and a Rickenbacker 12 string (Neck was too small, strings too close). Then I wound up selling both of those and buying this:
A 1969 All Original UNbroken Gibson Non Reverse Thunderbird II.
I can't put this bass down!!!!!!!
