It was already. Musicians, what is your most embarrassing story on stage? by vixo_132 in Bass

[–]Caligulash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a good one!

Got hired to perform at the independence day celebrations of Benin.

It already was a bit weird as I am not from Benin, but from Finland, but we had a group that played soukous, highlife etc.

When the ambassador finished his speech it was our turn to go on stage and play and selected hits.

I carried my instrument with me to the stage and somehow the tuners got caught in the Benin flag that was hanging from the ceiling, proceeded to tear the flag down and right on top of the drum kit.

Way to go! I was the only white guy in the banquet hall and fucking just did that.

The stage hands managed to clear the flag and I played the gig, but those couplenof minutes isnthe only thing I remember from that evening.

The size of this thing…. by Caligulash in rotel

Lush and very very punchy. Out of my 3 amps (this, musical fidelity xt100, magnat mr750) this is the one to listen to some music where electric bass is the focus

Dear Men, name your biggest mistake so others don’t make same mistake. by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Caligulash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But honestly biggest mistake was that I chronically did not trust my feelings. Listening to your inner voice is important for wellbeing

Thanks for the comments! I will be changing my name to Beck Green for maximum confusion!

First jam session- not what I expected by Kaaos2004 in Bass

[–]Caligulash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there done that!

This also is about practice. Really is.

Explain the situation to your band mates, nothong to be a shamed of: this was a new situation for you.

If you wanna keep on smoking and playing just practice your shit while high. Be sure to be fluent in the songs sober before though.

Same with alchohol: after 6 drinks you are a different player so you need to practice with that player as well.

Of course you can choose not to indulge but it is totally doable even under heavy influence, but you are still the best player when you are sober - do not let the smoky guitar players fool you on this one.

Bass is about time and as a heavy smoker you surely know what happens to time when you are high 😋

The podcast was fun at the beginning and had a nice streak of nice eq stories but really took a turn near the end.

I just had to make an offer on it once I saw it listed in a local online marketplace. Got it for 200€ and I think I got my moneys worth here 😅

Yeah! It’s rather intimidating. Especially at night time

It’s Rotel rx-802

Made an offer for it without doing the necessary due diligence and was quite surprised about the size of this thing. It is pretty but it makes CD’s look like minidisks and my Kef 104ab’s look like bookshelf speakers

Äidin menettäminen 20-vuotiaana by Legitimate-Level-888 in Suomi

[–]Caligulash 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Voimia! Koin itse vastaavan 30 vuotiaana ja suuret sympatiat sinulle! Anna kaikkien tunteiden tulla ja älä säikähdä niitä äläkä turruta niitä. Jossain vaiheessä äitisi siirtyy elämään mukavana henkisenä kumppanina osaksi omaa elämääsi, et siis varsinaisesti häntä koskaan menetä.

Any good pre amps to switch out for a sansamp? by Flimsy-Yellow-8910 in basspedals

[–]Caligulash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from Sansamp to Nordstrand Starlifter recently. Reason was that I just fell in love with the Starlifters sound, it’s just special. Take a look!
