You know where you can shove your Markbass ...

Love the way he spelt 'professional' unprofessionally.

do you think it's just markbass or all class D amps?

[SlapbassSteve]

*cringe* Well, good luck to him!


'to drive band along'- you do your job, sunshine, and we'll do ours!



I take the Markbass bit a little bit personally. Presumably the guitarist has a Marshall Wall of Doom and only a wall of 8x10s will keep up...

[rushbo]

Nothing about experience, talent or commitment, but plenty of detail about what cab they'd prefer.

[KingBollock]

Perhaps it's the rig he's after... and when you turn up with it the only thing you'll leave with is a concussion.

[yorks5stringer]

.....and if we are going to be really picky: " band has roots in roots music". Repetition?

[Ou7shined]

Obviously never heard my wee LMII through my homemade 2x10 which can strip the flesh from the first couple of rows of sweaty faces.

[ezbass]

He says Mark Bass generation, so possibly he means Marco's offspring?

More likely just a tool who counts visuals over tone and talent.

Tsk! I'm glad there's no-one like that on Basschat!

Hmm, maybe I'll start a band and specify which equipment everyone else has to bring to auditions. That should make it really easy to find talented, committed, professional and like-minded players.
Letting anyone bring any piece of kit they want hasn't worked out for me, so I'll give this approach a spin - I'll let you know how I get on.

[Beedster]

I like the specificity of genre, blues funk rock country, gospel, soul, groove

Worryingly i think I used to play in this band, and at the time I had a Markbass cab, albeit a 6x10 (this association alone, and not Markbass technology per se, might explain the anti-Markbass sentiment). If it's the same guys - how many guys spell Chris 'Cris' after all - I seriously can't recommend it

[Beedster]

As an idea of how often they gig, ask yourself "just how many workingmans' clubs are there in the M25 area"

So glad you said that and not me... I couldn't handle all the ramifications tonight.

Corrected it for you Chris. That should reduce the numbers a bit.

I've an idea....Let's all call him, and see what he has to say

[pete.young]

This seems like the same guy. Something very strange going in his head!

Sounds like they are looking for a bass player and someone to make sandwiches.

[cloudburst]

I think this may be the person in question. Worth a read.

His Equipment section is erm... interesting. Artwork isn't the word I would use for those gouges, and if it hadn't said that that was supposed to say Flame, I would have had no idea.

And his political rant seems oddly placed.
