The Bass Zone / Re: Upright Basses
« on: December 01, 2009, 06:59:12 PM »
As the owner of an Englehardt EM-1 and a Dean Pace EUB, I can honestly say I am addicted to uprights. I placed exactly one gig with my electrics last year and that was because of travel circumstances (The Dean will solve that problem). I can see myself playing uprights for the long term.
I even borrowed this one for a gig when I could have used an electric...

The Bass Zone / Re: how often?
« on: November 17, 2009, 10:44:11 AM »
I don't practice much at all. I'm also down to one band now so this may have something to do with it. We average about 2-3 gigs a month and practice weekly for about 2-3 hours, but not all of that is playing...

The Outpost Cafe / Re: What? I'm Adopted?!!
« on: November 17, 2009, 10:39:23 AM »
I was adopted. My parents never hid that fact from me. My mother had a miscarriage in the early 60's and was told she couldn't have kids after that, hence I was adopted into their family. A few years ago when my wife and I were talking about having kids I decided to start a search for my biological parents (for medical histories) and was told that the records were sealed by Catholic Social Services. I was given a few facts about them, but no identification information. To this day I still can't get any medical records or any information from CSS without a lawyer. I now have three kids and found out after their births that they all carry beta thalassemia. I had no clue that I was a carrier.
My 'legal' parents have never been anything but wonderful to me and my sister (also adopted) and I don't have any hard feelings towards my biological parents for putting me up. I do have a bit of an issue with CSS for not revealing more information. I would like to at least know my backgound and possibly a name, but I don't really feel like working too hard to find this out at this time. I have mixed feeling about it...

Bands are only as good as their drummer. I can certainly relate how hard it is to find someone. I've been in bands with amazing guitarists with so-so drummers and it never panned out.

Got a line on a farily cheap one (in black) from a friend. I'm thinking it would be a nice portable upright when I have to travel. Any and all opinions welcome...
