Exclamation Another educational thread by Sir Richard of 'Under..

If you have one, you know how to play it.

Double Basses are NEVER discussed in the Bull Pit because it is against the written rule.

Sorry Dave but I'm going to question the validity of No. 7.
I did a gig once and someone rested a can of beer on my bass. One could argue that, for a period, my bass was used as a table. I know it wasn't supporting coffee, but beer can be placed on a coffee table. Can you please think carefully about whether No. 7 should stay? Remember that we're talking untrue facts here.
Thanks.
