[TPIN] Solotone Substitution

Tim Said: "Boy did you hit a nail on the head.  One the things that really 
burns my bottom (other than really hot chili a day later) is people showing 
up to a rehearsal or gig without the equipment called for - and the mutes 
are just as important as the ax and music (ok - maybe not as important - but 
still an integral part of the job)."

++++++++++

I agree with your sentiments that one should be prepared for the gig with 
ALL of the tools at hand... That being said, a real pro actually asks when 
s/he is being booked what mutes are going to be required... more often than 
not when I ask, the contractor isn't aware of any "special requirements"... 
that's when I know to pack everything!

On a side note, I recently picked up a Derby but had no luck in ordering the 
stand to hold it... my father in law stumbled across a retired player who 
was happy to give me his whole mute collection inlcuding the stand and a 
mute holder that can accomodate 6 mutes... cool retro stuff!
