I went out on my balcony one evening, probably close to 1:00 a.m., and noticed an entire bass rig just leaning up against the back wall of the club -- the bass, an amp head, a couple of speaker cabs, effects board -- everything, just sitting there. The band was already gone, since the music for the evening had ended a few h

But of course.
