When I got home after I saw a couple of real estate agents, the time was already one hour before I had to head to the gig. I should have had a nap, but instead, I watched Japanese comedy shows for the whole hour. Oh, I'm so addicted to it.
いつものタイ料理のレストランでサリナちゃんとハラとローインとでギグでございます。今日は朝から雨が降っていまして、ベースの鳴りが非常に悪うございました。雨はベーシストの天敵でしてね、ベースは見てのとおり木製ですので、そこら中の湿気を吸ってしまって、音量は出ないわ、音の輪郭は出ないわで、いつも大変なのでございますよ。まあ、そこはプロですからね、一所懸命に音の切れを良くしたり、単純に指が取れそうになるほど強く弾いて、湿気に対応しているのでございます。
The gig was, as usual, at the Thai restaurant with Sarina, Hara and Rohin. It had been raining since the morning and my bass did not sound too good because of that. Rain is the bassist's natural enemy. Bass is, as you can see, made with wood and it sucks up all the moist around it, then what happens to it is only bad thing like the volume goes way down, and the tone gets really boomy. Well, even though, the bassists deal with it as professionals; we make clear cut on the end of the notes to emphasis the pitch, and simply play harder and louder to the point the fingers give up.
と・こ・ろ・が、ここにまた一つ、ベーシストの天敵が現れました。ギタリストでございます。これだけこっちは苦労してるのに、奴らときたら平気の平左でアンプのボリュームをクイッと上げやがるのでございますよ。普段は皆様から『仏の一平』と呼ばれ、慈愛と寛容の人で知られる私ではございますが、こん時だきゃあ、思わず飛びつき三角絞めを野郎の首ねっこに食らわしちまうところでございました。(あくまで未遂でございますからね、念のため)。
M-O-R-E-O-V-E-R, I had another natural enemy of all bassists in the world; it is a guitarist. Although we bassists put our lives to be heard and to keep the groove going on such severe circumstances, those guitarists just bulldoze all the efforts we are making by as easy as turning the volume nob a little! I almost jumped onto him and put him in the triangle choke or something. ("Almost," alright)
ええ、ええ、こんな事をこんな風に書くのは私のスタイルではありませんよ。私は今、非常に機嫌が悪いのです。それはなぜか。
明日、35になるからやーーー!!!
うわああああああん!!
That's right. This is not really my style to write about the things like this in this manner. I am in very very bad humour right now. Why?
BECAUSE I'M TURNING 35 TOMORROW!!!
OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
