blue Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1425807042' post='2710783'] I have a "bassist available" ad out. Just got this reply; "Interested in joining a psychedelic rock band? do you have hair? do you wear baggy or skinny jeans? Do you have good equipment? Are you good? Reliable?" [/quote] My response would be; [i]Cool, do you have paying gigs booked?[/i] Blue Quote
jezzaboy Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 What about a cape ala Rick Wakeman. Always wanted to join a band that insist you all wear a cape. Or maybe a 2112 era Rush kimono. Quote

KevB Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If that ad had been in my area recently I'd certainly have followed it up for more info. Quote
BigRedX Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 For some bands image is important. Some musicians think it's ok to look like a sack of sh*t with a string tied around the middle. Clearly the two are not compatible. Quote
leschirons Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I could be in with a chance if they were more specific about where the hair has to be Quote
yorks5stringer Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I'd go with them as they managed to spell [s]psch pis [/s]psychedelic correctly and not in txtspk! Quote

[/quote] And for some musicians only the money is important, which is clearly incompatible with psychedelic rock. Man. Not sure about the hair requirement, from what I remember of the era 50% of the bassists wore woolly hats. Like this bloke: Quote

[/quote] If you are getting paid to be in a band then IMO it's perfectly reasonable to have to follow your employers dress code. And wearing a tea-cosy on your head has never been acceptable. Not back in the 70s and certainly not now. Quote

Cat Burrito Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I guess I'd respond with; [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"Not yours. Not now. Not anymore. It suits me. I have my moments.
