I'm looking for a band - preferably one that has all members and is looking for a bass player.
A bit about myself and my likes:
I'm 42, live in Frome - have my own transport and gear that gives me the sound I like.
Music wise I listen to mostly everything and that's where I take my inspiration from, but if I had to name a few bands / composers I would say they stretch from technical / experimental metal such as Tool through some more known / obvious bands like Slipknot, Korn, Meshuggah, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Clutch, Rammstein, Incubus, Reef, Porcupine Tree etc. - that's on the more rocky / metal note. I also love jazz / classical / pop / soul / house / such as GoGo Penguin, Jamie Callum, Jamiroquai, Joss Stone, Sohn, Bethoven, Bach and way more - quite a mixture of meaty, groovy, funky and whatever else as you can see - all depends on what mood I'm in - I believe there's always a tune to match it.
I'm not too keen on old type of metal / rock i.e. Black Sabbath, AC/DC - I can listen to it, but I'm more after more modern sound like Tool / Meshuggah - that is when it comes to playing heavier tune.
I got my first bass when I was 14 years of age and was playing ever since, with sometimes long breaks lasting even as long as a year. I haven't been playing for quite a few months now, but really miss it and I'm looking to hook up with some people who take music seriously in a way that they actually want it to sound right and are committed, but most importantly do it for the love / fun of it.
I'm not after making money and I'm only interested in originals - I find it really sad that so many musicians spend their life playing somebody else's tunes rather than try to express themselves.
If the above fits the profile of someone you're looking for - give me a shout and we can give it a try.
I have some samples of recordings if you'd like to get the feel of my sound etc.
