Well…not sure if I count. I’m a bass dep for a Status Quo tribute band - but I play guitar 99% of the time outside of that. If you count the number of ‘different’ bass notes I actually play over time, it’s not very many..!

Heh, sometimes less is more. How often do you get to gig on the bass?

It’s dried up a lot recently but a while back it was about 30 weekends per year.

That's pretty good for a dep position!

Yeah, the main dude was in a proper band and was very busy for a while. Since Covid, it’s dropped off somewhat, he needs all the gigs he can get these days.
