Back in a band and excited again !!

[tonybassplayer]

Due to a number of factors I decided to leave the band I was in a couple of months ago as it was just not fair on them as I was having quite a few logistics etc problems. They are a great bunch of guys and although I had only been with them six months we had become good friends and they were gutted.

The new guy settled in well but we kept in touch and as fate would have it I have sorted out my logistic problems ( stopped all the weekend working etc ) and they have just emailed me and asked me would I consider going back as the new guy has decided to leave !

Still a few things to sort but we are rehearsing a week on Wednesday and I can't wait !! Feel to be in a better place mentally than I have for years at the moment so looking forward to helping them take it forward.

Thats great news

Gives you such a boost!

We had a lull of 2 months in my band where we had lost a singer and a guitarist, but now we are up and running again, and I am a happy cheery bassist again, so I can truly appreciate your excitement

Hope it goes well.

Nice one.

[gary mac]

Good news, particularly as they are a decent bunch of chaps.

[neepheid]

Good stuff, sounds like it was meant to be after all

[seashell]

Ahh I know the feeling buddy! My main band had been on hiatus for a couple of months (drummer and singer had, well, I'll say some differing opinions.) So during that time I started depping for a friends band (usual pub covers). Today, had a full rehearsal with the main band and it just felt like we'd played together yesterday! Tis a good feeling indeed! All the best mate, hope it continues to feel good!

Holy crap. I might be the bass player in a MOD Band. Now what?


I guess that's the end of Rockschool Grades :-D

[RockfordStone]

ive found keeping a band together to have become a much harder prospect than it used to be, i haven't been in a proper band for over a year now just cos finding people who stick together seems to be so hard.

nice one on getting back in a band you were settled with, the buzz of being in a band thats doing something is amazing

I guess.. I've found a few websites. Cheap image... A Fred perry and a pair of 501s :-). If it works out and I don't get binned, I might get a tonic suit. My biker mates think its hilarious :-D. ....

I've got a spare fishtail parka, it might be a bit hot unless you have got LEDs and good draught

Some great Who and Jam songs to play so could be much worse

[Mr Fretbuzz]

I got no chance..I looked at some who tab yesterday....sixteenth note triplets and sorts of jiggery pokery.... Think I'll need a lifetime before I'll be able to pay entwhistle stuff :-(
