Not in bands I've been in. Bass players are usually the most passive guys. And often, but not always, the potheads *lol*

Well, they DID end up playing it again... and this time they got the size of the prop right. Of course, nothing ever comes off without a hitch, or they wouldn't be Spinal Tap.


BTW, I played a gig with Harry Shearer this past December. How that came about is kind of a long and not particularly interesting story. But he was a very nice guy. And hilarious!

Seriously though- Derek is a lot like a lot of bassists I've known If a bass player is a dick chances are he's a guitar player being forced to play bass.
