Hi all,
Bit of a funny one here,
I am in a band were i love the drummer and keys player me and drummmer reallly work and its prob one of the best rythm sections ive been in.
we have 31 gigs this year not too bad but heres the crux...... the guitarist is in another band and the same guitarist and my drummer keeep playing with their old bass player that left the band (thats why i got the job).
so the guitarist has i reckon over 55 gigs this year when we spoke about the problem he turned round and said"i dont like certain aspects of the new line up so i dont promote the band". (hes said im tooo busy before now and he doesnt like my tight sound,hes also an awesome guitarist but doesnt learn the tunes like the tunes then moans at me when im playing them like the track).
the old set up plays quite regular and they do the gigs beaucause they are low paying gigs (they go out as a three peice) and so when they play me and keyboard player and sometines the singer are sitting at home playing with ourselves!!
i have loooked around extensively and theres not many bands wanting a bass player at moment in my area,,, so shalll i just stick with it for the 31 gigs or leave let someone else get trodd on and spend some time practising at home instead of giging on and off?
not sure what to do !!
neeed the wisdom from the society! x
