Got past the first gig tonight. Just a short 1-set, 1-hour gig with a Trio and singer. I put the original Maple TP back on the Bass with the Guts and did the job without an Amp. They all said it sounded fine. I could hear every note I played. That's not necessarily a good thing..lol
I have another Gig Sunday but a Duo with just Pno/Bs. Same Bass and no-amp as well.
This is kind of fun. On the way home I was thinking of some of the players that I liked most in my early days which included LaFaro and Chambers. Both Gut players. Maybe I have a new 'Jazz Bass' to hold on to..
