lol !!
At some point he posted, from his car, that he was at a gig but forgot his bass!
He managed in the end to find a shop open that lent him a yamaha for the night, but the whole thing was pretty funny...

Hey Andrew 
Imagine me, after a looong trip with the car, I arrive at the soundcheck... I approach the stage like Elvis, say hello to the crew, shake hands with fans, pictures, autographs...
Then I see my tech. I look at him, he looks at me, and we both realise the truth...
I never have the bass home, the bass is with the crew, I always find my instrument tuned, ready for playing. Only this time I took my bass home to clean it, and restring...
Can you imagine the panic?
Luckily I have the bass community XBASS.ro , so I have many many bassist friends all over the country.
I went to the hotel room, and slept for 1 hour before the show. Then I went to the toilet, where the floor was wet (thanks to my drumer)
So here I was that night, playing an open air, in cold air, with wet socks and a lousy Yamaha bass... I think it was the worst day of my life!

wow. you really have a lot of friends. of course if this would have happened to you 2 I would have lent you a Wic rather than a Yamaha for 2 reasons:
1.- to help you out have a good bass that night
2.- so i can brag about you playing one of my Wics.
3.- so I can see my Wic being played by a pro.
I am not sucking up to you because it is your birthday but this is a cool story.
:wink:
