  1. I'll accept bizarre. Blue
  2. And I'm fine with those guys that only want to gig 5 times a year. I don't like bands asking the world for 5 gigs. Admittedly, hard to understand my position. It's a little screwy. Blue
  3. I like your ad Pete, fair and reasonable. Definitely not one sided. Blue
  4. I have no problem with up to scratch musicians that want this sort of thing. I have a problem with a band that does 5 gigs a year and expects top notch candidates. Why? I think it's expecting too much and offering too little. Blue
  5. Playing bass and singing is the only job I've ever had that I can honestly say is fun. Blue
  6. 1. Agreed, I do have trouble seeing certain things from other peoples perspective. However, I do respect their perspectives. 2. For 5 gigs a year, I don't think you deserve musicians that are up to scratch. Blue
  7. We're all different. For me, when gigging started to feel like a job I celebrated. I finally felt accomplished and was getting somewhere. Blue
  8. For 5 gigs a year, I can't cope with any of their conditions. This is not an opportunity for me. Blue
  9. I get that, but for 5 gigs a year, personally I think their requirements are out of line. Blue
  10. Exactly, but not for me. I'm definitely not and never have been in this for chat & drink. I play bass guitar and sing for a fee. Commerce allows me to do that. Blue
  11. If they're reheasing weekly for 5 gigs then it's obviously more of a social outlet thing. Blue
  12. Seems like they want a lot for 5 gigs a year. Blue
  13. That makes sense but so far from my world. Blue
  14. I almost thought this ad might be a joke. Maybe not, I'm not sure there would be many guys looking for 5-6 gigs, even if it's just for fun. What are your thoughts on the ad and the opportunity. Let's Talk About It Blue "Bass Player needed for cover band that plays about 5-6 shows per year. Wetake playing well seriously all while having fun. This is a hobby for the members of the band which is why we only play about 5-6 (sometimes more)shows a year. All of us have families and full time jobs outside of this band. We cover classic rock, country, and some of today's music. Basically, festival type stuff. All the guys are super easy going, serious about playing well and professional, and just plain fun to be around. Would appreciate a picture and video of your playing, would save us all lots of time. I hate to post the below caveats but the only reason I do is because we've had these problems before... If you are in multiple bands and trying to schedule a practice with you is an ordeal, probably not the project for you. Communication is key, if it takes you 3 days to answer an email or text, probably not the project for you. (don't worry, we are not chronic texters or emailers) Do your homework before practice. (obvious but I had to say it) "
  15. We all probably know that there are some people that turn completely crazy when they drink. Blue
  16. Sounds nice, We play a club that's very similar. Green Room,Pro Stage Manager and Sound Crew that know what they're doing. Very few clubs like this in my area. They're booked all the through 2018. Blue
  17. Yeah, Seemed like he was saying, " I'm racist but just a little racist, not a alot. So I'm cool. Blue
  18. No gigs until February. Depressing, however I'm not going to blame anyone or point fingers. There's not as many places to play around here anymore. And we dropped a few places that were not much fun to play anymore.It would be nice to get some higher profile gigs. Hopefully the Summer fest & fair season will bring some cooler gigs.:( Blue
  19. Someone recently said; "I'm the least racist person you'll ever know" What does that mean.? Blue
  20. I'd vlove this opportunity. I don't drink alcohol. Blue
  21. I'd love this type of opportunity. I could care less about alcohol. Blue
  22. Is there any issues or problem cwith the way I'm doing it? Blue
  23. Now I'm confused. I use a 750 watt zgK head 1 speakon to a 2 x 10 GK RBX cab and the other speakon to a 1x15 RBX cab? Blue
