Looking for a bassist to jam with to get a new project up and running.
We're a band of full time musicians busy with various acts and teaching - this is a project of passion primarily so PASSION is pretty much our prime requisite in a player. We want someone who loves the same music as us and really wants to play.
Massive range of influences drawing from blues, soul, rock, funk, jazz, you name it. One of the biggest things we love is how acts like Led Zeppelin and Cream would cover blues/soul standards and play them as they saw fit as oppose to just 'covering' a tune. Plenty of great acts out doing this now, so let's do it
We've all played together in various bands together over the last few years, but need a solid bassist for this project so we can start working with some focus. Long term plan would be to get a set together (originals or covers, the sound is the important thing!) and look at the club/festival circuit, but short term plan is to just enjoy playing music! Ideal candidate 18-30, own gear/transport, able to pick up songs quickly, improvise and play sympathetically. Backing vocals would be a massive plus, but not essential.
A small sample of artists we've been loving jamming and listening to lately (this list could go on forever, so if the overall vibe is up your street, get in touch!)

Led Zeppelin
Freddie King
The Doors
Cream
Stevie Wonder
