4 vs 10

So, when Paul unfortunately had to sub out a gig, we were lucky to have Lisa join us on bass.

 

Now, if you'll remember, Paul has a four-string bass.  A very very nice one.  But despite theimage jiggery-pokery in that earlier posting, it's total string quotient is Four (4).   If you look at a five-string bass.  Or just, imagine one.  In your head.  

 

Then subtract one string...and... You get Paul's bass.  

 

One less.

 

Minus one. 

 

So back to Lisa, who:

 - arrived with a 5-string bass. (Nice, Lisa!)

 - arrived with a 5 -string stand-up bass (Whoa!)

 - asked for more lead vocals in her monitor (I beg your pardon?)

 

and..

 

(wait for it)

 

 - asked for more guitar in her monitor.

 

Wait. wait. wait.  Was that a typo?

 

No.

 

No, it wasn't.

 

Lisa. Asked. For. More. Guitar. In. Her. Monitor.

 

Ergo: Lisa knows which side her her bread is buttered.
