Mandatory, my friend!!
Non-drinkers have to play either blindfolded or with their hands tied behind their back!

I have a couple Ketel and 7's in me and I'm hacking away between posts on my new Upright... counts for somethin', right?

Sure does, Bob..... are you holding the bass up or vice versa?
Now - if you could play the bass
and the Hammond at the same time you'd be half a combo.......... at least the bass is 'portable'!

Somewhere in between!
All I can say is that with the Hammond and the URB, I apologize to the world tree population...
Already posted this elsewhere but twice won't hurt!

Nice upright, Bob! When you mentioned insurance claims I envisioned something needing repair - obviously it wasn't this bass that was on the claim.

That's true, Mark, Bob's portability factor just went way down!
Bob, just don't carry that urb in the trunk! Bad track record!

John....Go to search bar and type in: cello
this will bring up a web site that sells everything from violins to upright basses. I bought a Cello 2 years ago for $279.00. It is amazing with solid wood throughout and a solid ebony fingerboard. They have all sizes of upright basses for economical prices that you won't believe and the China craftsmanship is unbelievable. dale
