Still, I'm very self conscious about publicly acknowleding my bass skills (or lack thereof) The biggest thing to overcome is at the ripe age of 48 how much I need to re-learn. Gimme a year. I'll be back!
I did get Chris's "Roundabout" hammer lick back last night. Thing's are looking up!

No problem, Jeffrey. Only three or four of the attendees actually noodled around through an amp anyway, and there were no impromptu jam sessions this time. The beauty of these "Confluences" is there are no requirements. I'm not much of a player, either, but I feel comfortable rubbing elbows with semi-pros who come to these things. Still, we should get together and you can scope out my collection: seven, with one in the Jingle-Jangle Jungle for about another month getting new skin.
