    Default How Long Blues: Richter, Richter, and Bonham -- a 10 yo first gig

    Showing off my 10 year old Gus who had his first gig on bass last summer with me and Gordon Bonham. Besides electric bass, he's also studying acoustic upright. The boy has the touch.

    That's excellent. I'm sure it won't be too long before you've got him rockin out some Hendrix tunes.

    Buy that lad a nice used Alembic short-scale bass! Hohners are all 'thump' and no tone, no better than Gibsons. ;-)
