toneknob Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Just came across this on gumtree: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/establishing-london-band-the-swaras-seeking-female-bassist/105936514"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/establishing-london-band-the-swaras-seeking-female-bassist/105936514[/url] "we need band members who are flexible in dressing, [have] a small bust and an average to skinny figure, ambitious minded, confident, open-minded to ideas and cooperative" Something about bass-playing somewhere as well. Do you fit the bill better than me? Quote

toneknob Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 That took whole 3 minutes for our Japanese friend to appear. Standards are dropping Quote
Toasting Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Hahahaha that advert really made me laugh. Well worth a read! Saying that they'll prolly be on 4Music next week (almost said TOTP then). Quote

Gust0o Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I'm assuming we'll all be responding to the ad with that Youtube clip, then? I'm all for giving people another chance. Large-breasted Basschat'ers, who may feel agrieved at missing out on this opportunity, are welcome to join my band. All of you. Quote
paul_5 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Doesn't that breach employment law on the grounds of being a) sexist and ageist? Just saying... Of course, I'm a bloke in my 30s who's about 8lb too heavy, with nay titties at all, so it might just be me being a bit grumpy. Quote

Standards are dropping [/quote] Sorry. I had to fire up YouTube and think up an appropriate search term. (I went for "korean bass transvestite".) I prolly need to save the link as a draft somewhere for rapid response. (I suppose I could "favourite" it in YouTube, but I fear for what may turn up in the "you may also like..." recommendations ) Quote
