A couple of weeks ago I played a blinder gig with my improv rock band Eggtimer. We were all on fire. I was so on fire I broke a string on my D string on 5 string bass. How rock is that? And I’m 35 years old! If I did coke and hookers I’d be up there with John Entwhistle.
Instead of replacing my string I have decided to play the now four stringed bass and be on fire every time until I break the rest of the strings. In fact my main ambition is to end up with no strings during a gig and just hum bass lines. Why not? I have a baritone voice so my singing tutor tells me.
