jantheman Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 G'day guys. My name is Ray and I'm a crap bass player.....that dont matter though cos I love it. Dont have much gear, a Warwick Corvette active and a crappy Ashdown practice amp. Looking for a new amp at the mo, Minimark or PJB Briefcase is on the list. Dont gig or play in any kind of band, I aint that good... Looking forward to participating and learning something new... Quote

However, I doubt theres much call for a 55 yr old bass player who can't play..... Quote
seashell Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Ray, welcome. I fall somewhat into the same category as you.. However, I think we should live in hope. Life is full of surprises and you never know what might crop up... Quote

[/quote] check out www.lemonrock.com ..theres always ads for bass players of all abilities to join bands, irrespective of age, great site, i found my band members there, drummer 50, guitarist 40, me bassist 46, we gig at least twice a month, paid too, anyone can do it, its not about technical ability, its about enthsiasm. String togeather a set list of old blues and well known rock standards (bass parts are a piece of piss!) and you're away! An audience will always relate more to a band showing that they are enjoying themselves rather than dazzling skill. Quote
Raslee Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Ray, welcome to the forum from another fellow Plymouthian. Quote
