4 candles Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Bass players to me are really cool and down to earth, and i love them. I often invite bass players into my home (for non sexual purposes) but too sell/buy basses, and i feel totally at ease. A drummer would scare me and also a guitarist. but...... sometimes we all need to find other musicians, or recomend others to dep or otherwise when we are busy I want to start a thread for musicians to reccomend and to avoid (NOT BASSISTS) Name and shame sh*t deps, players and names that are banded around. Name good players who are unreliable, name and shame them...... and name good players so we can all benefit. im gonna start with sh*t players........ anyone who has recently graduated from leed uni "jazz course" Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) AVOID THE FOLLOWING: Drummers: Billy Fanta - Leeds - Nasty alopecia, cover your pint. Terry Gibbler - Slough - Wears a ski mask all night, even during interval. Brian Filbert - Okehampton - Haemophiliac who plays all his solos with his hands. Bring paper towels. Guitarists: Ben Feesty - Colchester - Endless lies about his "big patio" - he hasn't got one. Matt Edgeless - Leith - Only plays in key of A. Gets sulky and leaves if asked to transpose Phil 'The Waltzer' Orm - P'boro - Gets pissed and beats on any midgets in the audience. Total twat. Keys Manny Boyes - Bicester - A junkie with only one arm. Obvious problems. Liam Monplaisir - Hereford - Great player, but steals carpet from gigs. Loose bowels. Use a wireless.

Delberthot Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) You, sir, are a legend. Funny thing is that I used to play in a band with that guitarist from Leith who couldn't transpose anything - He had about 6 Ritchie Blackmore Strats all tuned differently and the same number of Tony Iommi SGs - He does live in Edinburgh as well Edited October 15, 2010 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom in Dorset Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Matt Dulux - always takes a loaded shot gun on stage, the worst alto crumhorn player in North Somerset, drinks petrol and chain smokes Slim Panatellas.

EdwardHimself Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Some guy called EddieHimself. He edits all his recordings to make himself sound like a really tight musician when in actual fact his timing is all over the place. You can't really place whether he's supposed to be a drummer, bassist or guitarist because he's learned all 3 instruments to a pretty mediocre level, a "jack of all trades, master of none" as it were. Avoid like the plague... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep trying to wind myself up to the point of actually building one which would be nice and solid, ideal for those rapid blows that you can't get in with a more clumsy full-size bass. Does anyone else find that a 36" scale slows their swing down too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
