Entry tags:
All your bass (OPEN)
Who: Various Bassists from Various bands and onlookers
What: Interstellar's first annual BassOff
When: Backdated to Friday the 9th
Where a local rock club with a nice stage, before opening
Warnings: Because Xanxus in involved, language, will add as needed
The contest had started off because of a group of tweets between Xanxus and Ryota, the "First Annual BassOFF" is now officially a thing. The bassists of both Pride and Virgo have been contacted. The instructions are easy. If you want to show your stuff and compete for the best bass player in the music industry, arrive at Club VoTeQ and bring your A Game. Fame and fortune and bragging rights are on the line.
Club VoTeQ itself is like many other rock clubs. There are pictures of famous bands on the walls. Bands that made their debuts here. There are tables and booths with semi-decent chairs and benches. The tables are as clean as they need to be to pass health code and the bar is fully stocked. There is a bartender there that can get you whatever you want.
There is a simple stage at the front of the club. It's set up with an amplifier as well as a headphones set up, in case the bassist needs to hear the background melody to their lines. The rules are easy. Each bassist is to take the stage and play one bass line or bass solo. When they are done, the winner will be crowned and the looser will have to wallow in their shame.

Shotaro Hidari
Shotaro is casual as he comes up on stage, whistling a little tune as he carries a case with the characteristic silhouette of a banjo. But keen eyes will notice the round end is a bit larger than normal. And the neck was longer too. He's wearing jeans, a leather belt with a big buckle, a light colored plaid shirt rolled up at the sleeves, a bolo tie, and a cowboy hat with an Ace of spades stuck in the ribbon.
When he opens the case, he grins and pulls out the bass banjo. He didn't waste any time after plugging it in and tossing the strap across his back. What he plays is a twist on some fairly standard rock bass picking, but since it's still a banjo, it's not too far out of his wheelhouse.
