Gig as in a band, Glukom? If so, sweet. I've pretty much just been hanging around the house. Was waiting for my church pastor to give me a call all day because he's mentoring me (in all honesty, I'm more doing it because he's a cool guy, not because I need to learn the stuff he's teaching me), but he didn't call until, like, 3:30 PM, so by that point in time, I had no choice but to wait until he arrived. That basically screwed my whole day over, so I just played a bit of TF2 and some Oblivion and posted some stuff here.  I probably should get to practicing my bass again, though.

Yep. I don't have my own band yet, but there's a big benefit show going on for my uncle on who has cancer, so a bunch of local Staten Island bands are gonna be playing. My dad happens to be good friends with the lead singer and guitarist of one of those bands, so I got in.
It's perfect, too, because all I play is classic rock, so I was able to practice with the guy with absolutely no hitches, since he's an old-time rocker kind of person. It's gonna be so much fun gaaah I can't wait
also Shroomguy I don't know exactly where, I just know that I'll be there

Schweet. Don't worry too much about not having your own band. I don't either.
I play guitar/bass and do vocals, myself. I don't have any fancy-schmancy instruments, but that's because I'm too poor to afford them. :P
I'd prefer the bass over the guitar, but when you're leading a band, sometimes you have to make sacrifices (I head up the youth music at my church).

I've never tried out a bass, but I wish I had one so I could record songs with one amd mokun i want this kind of gibson sg but the price tag is unholy | QUOTE | This talk about instruments reminds me that I have a Casio keyboard.
But I am terrible at any instrument. I just can't get it to work, and when I do, Teacher comes over and says that I'm playing the lead with the wrong hand. |
It's all about practice. It's impossible to learn any instrument if you don't practice like crazy early on.
Though, it's also important that you stay interested - I would never have been able to learn the guitar if my teacher didn't help me learn what I wanted to play.
So yeah, it's not easy learning instruments, but damn does it pay off.
