Members BottomHeavyKate Posted May 14, 2008 Members Share Posted May 14, 2008 So my boyfriend has been refinishing his basement for practice/studio stuff. I'm bringing my Ampeg rig down there so he's got a bass rig to play through - and I can't play through it in my apartment anyway. It dawns on me - that I haven't had to move that thing since December. I don't know if I can get it down the three flights of stairs without killing myself!!! I didn't realize how much better shape I was in while I was actively gigging. .....and I'm too proud to ask for help..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that my knees and back are going, not to mention my hips, I love some help. If I had asked when I was younger, who knows??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluescout Posted May 14, 2008 Members Share Posted May 14, 2008 Well those are the three options. Move it, leave it, ask for help. OR.... you could claim you're busy and he can come get it if he wants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassthumpintwin Posted May 14, 2008 Members Share Posted May 14, 2008 just ask yourself what will hurt your pride more: understandablly asking for 5 minutes worth of help to safely/more easily move your rig down 3 flights of stairs OR dropping your ampeg cab down 3 flights of stairs, resulting in a castrostropic noise that brings every tennant out of the apartment to see what is going on, killing everything that is in the stairway at the same time, and leaving your cab in a million piece at the bottom of the stairs. somehow I think the second scenario is more embarrassing.
