I'm on the lookout for an appropriate hat. For last night, perhaps something like this, only with counter-rotating props of course.
Dan, I walked out there and listened myself. Plenty of bass in the hip hop music during breaks. None while the band played.
And that's another thing. At our 1:00 finish time, four hours after starting, we had played only three sets. The "break" music went on forever. Twice we stood on the stage and listened to three songs waiting for the sound guy to cut the break music. It was just not the right crowd for us, really. Average age was probably 21.5.
I'm going to check out a bass for sale. Maybe that'll make me happy. I want to see what this P-bass thump reputation is all about.
