Fat, Ugly, 49-Year Old, Average Bassist Available – Warwickshire

[Hot Tub]

Pretty much as the title says really. The time has come to move on from my current band, and I'm looking for an active pub-rock band where I can hit the ground running. I'm happy to rehearse once a week, and ideally play a couple of gigs a month – more if possible. I can get bookings around my local area. I'm looking for something around Leamington Spa, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton, etc. I've been gigging regularly for a couple of years, playing for 30+, predominately fingerstyle, although I use a pick on a couple of things.

Obviously I have my own transport. I use a Cort Artisan B5 through a Korg Pitchblack, MXR MicroChorus, and SansAmp Bass Driver DI, into a MarkBass CMD103H, and try to be as versatile as possible. If a song needs pumping 1/8[sup]th[/sup] notes, that's what I'll play. If it needs something a bit more intricate, I can do that too.

The downside? I can't read music, and I can't slap, but I can usually learn new songs fairly quickly and try to play as close to the original bassline as possible. Equally, I'm not averse to a band putting their own “twist” on a song.

Message me here, or pop an email to [color="#000080"][u][email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email][/u][/color] Please put “Bass Player Ad” in the title.

The attached file is an alphabetical list of some of the stuff I'm playing at the moment, just to give an idea of the sort of thing I'm looking for.

Why is lack of slapping ability a downside? I see that as one of my core strengths ...
