After decades of gigging I am almost totally deaf in one ear.
The one that always aimed towards the drummer.
How's your hearing?

Pt


Over the past year it seems mine has dropped about 10% that I am aware of.
So now I insist on ear plugs no matter what. Although I prefer not to use
them. The best way to use them is right from the start of your jam, that way
your hearing stays consistant. If you try to jam THEN put them in you're
screwed.
I cannot get the guitarist to turn down, and my drummer hits like Paul
Bunyan. I am usually telling them to turn down, and they usually tell me to
turn up.
Oh well, it is their choice, definitely not mine. Nothing worse than a deaf
Bassist.
