elsharko Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) My band The Fuse is currently in China doing a contract in a high-end nightclub. They want to extend our contract and our currned bassist cant do it so we need someone from early June for a minimum of 3 months but ideally a permanent member. (WE NOW NEED SOMEONE FROM LATE APRIL/EARLY MAY) Good vocals are a must. Age 25-40ish. Good image. Like a couple of drinks, dirty jokes and a bit of fun. Most importantly an excellent all round player. 2400USD per month. 3 x 20min sets, 6 days pw. Food, travel and accom provided. Visas must be arranged and paid for by yourself. (about £70) Please send links to videos/showreels that clearly show your playing and singing. Thanks alot, let me know if you have any questions.

Jimryan Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'd love to have a go at this and have previous experience with Chinese visas, my only problem is my backing vocals aren't THAT strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 That's fairly decent money by anyone's standards considering living expenses and flights are covered. I've visited China maybe 12 times in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynottfan Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Damn, im a fine bass player, but can't sing to good are the vocals that important? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Would love to oblige, particularly as I'm a Hong Kong resident, but I can't manage it. Just wanted to say sounds like a great gig and I hope you find the person you're looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsharko Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just to say that our current contract offer is what ive detailed, although if another comes up instead somewhere else in china we may take it instead... if it works out better for us.

elsharko Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 i get alot of people saying 'im not a great singer, i usually just do bvs'. im not sure what it means... to me singing bvs is every bit as hard if not harder in some ways as lead. if you 'just sing bvs' it could still work although bvs need to be tight, harmonious and strong. thanks... still looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubass1969 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 This sounds like a great gig. Pity I don't sing, though. I'm sure you'll find someone quick for this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsharko Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Vocals are helpful but we dont want to miss out on the right player because they dont feel like they can sing well enough. If you can manage to hold a tune and can play please send a video link. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'd be well up for this if I wasn't already going abroad for a few months - Good luck, it sounds like a great opportunity for the right player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This suits me down to the ground, I've a skilled player with lead and backing vocals to my name... However the end of April/May is a little too soon for me as I've one or two other commitments to honour first(such as the last week or two of a three-year university course...) if anything else comes up of this nature let me know, in the meantime I'll try and put some promo stuff together as the only real videos of my playing and singing are grainy phone videos of me singing Gay Bar for my ex- covers band([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SHZK3i1x-k&feature=youtu.be"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SHZK3i1x-k&feature=youtu.be[/url]), or fan videos of my ukulele band where I don't sing very much ([url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkDHVYPya08"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkDHVYPya08[/url]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeBrownBass Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 My friend just joined this gig singing and she's uploaded pictures with a bass player so i'd assume its been filled. A side note though, all the photo's i've seen from the stage, there is no mic or mic stand any where near the bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsharko Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks, yes this gig has just been filled, but only with a temp member. We will be looking for another player for Bahrain beginning in August. Similar thing to this. Ill be putting up a ad for it but feel free to contact me. Also, I have been replying as best I can... weve had quite a few applicants across several forums. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
