Hi Doug,
No I don't play the upright bass - I wish I could! That's an optical trick in the pic. I'm just holding a mandolin. My mate PJ is the bass player - he's the guy just behind me. He's only been at it for a couple of years or less, but he's a rock solid slapper. Great bloke.
I play bass guitar (badly), so maybe I could get the hang of the upright (badly!). But I already have too many instruments and not enough time to learn to play them well!
Thanks for dropping by.

Have a good weekend.
