Ok, here we go again!
We are a mature, experienced and high quality rock covers band seeking similar bassist to become an integral member of our band, as our bassist is moving onto pastures new (France!)
We have auditioned lots in the course of our search and have struggled to find the 'one'. The reason is simple, they have not been good enough!
What we are after is the following:
- Someone who can learn songs at home and come totally prepared to rehearsals
- Someone who doesn't need to be shown how to play the songs by either the guitarist, singer or even the drummer!
- Someone who can keep time with the drummer (seriously this has been a struggle!)
- Someone who can do the basics really well without the need to showboat and play 30 notes when 5 will do (we have a lead guitarist for that).
- Someone who's willing to put a bit of time and effort into the band with regards to finding gigs/general band promotion/ideas for songs and general improvements etc.
I'm not saying we're perfect by any stretch but we feel we play to a high standard and we deserve a bass player who knows what they're doing and doesn't need babysitting through the rehearsals.
We only rehearse a couple of times a month, usually in Tottington on a Saturday/Sunday morning or Friday evening, and we are happy gigging once a month or so. We have families/jobs/lives and we don't want to be out every weekend. It's more about quality than quantity.
We play a range of stuff from Foo Fighters, Killers, Fleetwood Mac, Crowded House, Queen, Thin Lizzy, U2, Peter Gabriel etc, and anything that will go down well in a pub or at a function.
If you think you fit the bill, then private message me and we can arrange a chat.
Thanks,
Mark
