New IMN Podcast and Instruments on Airlines
The new IMN podcast is up - download it or listen at the site or on WFYI HD2, Thursdays at 4pm and 10pm.
The American Federation of Musicians may be close to persuading the FAA to allow instruments in airline cabins, as detailed on their website. The language is still winding its way through the legislative process, but hopefully this means bassists can once again take their instruments along with them, instead of consigning them to the hell of baggage (where much, much damage is possible) or dealing with flakey rentals whilst on the road. Please read and sign the petition, if you will.
This is the last weekend for "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," so grab some tickets at bobdirex.com and head on down. Crowds have been decent, and the reviews have been stellar.
Expensive Bass Porn
The MadChilli bass looks fantastic (no audio samples, though - grrrrr . . .), but you could tell it was going to be a pricey addition to your collection even before you got to the MSRP. How many times have you seen gig bags and cases referred to as "couture?" Aren't the items held by the disaffected hipsters in these photos (fingerless gloves!) designed to take punishment, rather than lend a fashion statement to your instrument?
Perhaps I'm being too sensitive about this, but cases get banged, smashed, and generally abused. Buy them for functionality, please. Oh, and I'd like to hear the bass. Sound samples, please!
