[/quote] I'm doing a lot more schwinging at 55 than I ever did at 29, so that's just rubbish. Mind you, I AM a late developer. Ooh-ooh! Ah-ah!

Happy Jack Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Then you're ... erm ... not perfect for this. Quote

[/quote] If I was interested in this I'd just go along and not mention my age. And if they asked me I'd just say 'I have a playing age of 29'. It's what us thesps do all the time! Quote

julesb Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I sent a neo soul band wanting a bassist a recording of me playing along to their you tube clip without revealing my age. They replied saying that my playing was 'sick'. I then revealed my age and received no reply. I can only assume that they assumed I was dead at my revealed age! It's a shame it's like this but I was the same when I was starting out. Middle age quality musicians should just get their own sh*t together play some great music. There's enough of us about it seems. :-) Quote

sprocketflup Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Just stumbled across this, now seems he's looking for more than just a bass player. Maybe the others were so sick they've now died? http://www.bandmix.co.uk/derelics/ Quote

leemarseillebass Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 On August 15th 2015 Mr Big's singer said I'm 'Billy Sheehan reincarnate - and he isn't even dead yet.' 45 and too old, but still flattered to death. Quote

derelics Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 Jeez Louise, you geriatric lot are so sensitive... should have mentioned "no greying crybabies"... The other reason for the age is that we do shitloads of really funny drugs and we don't want someone dying in our arms, with their wrinkled ballsack hangin to their knees, we're cliché enough without this. As for the bandmix page I never updated the "wanted" section in 2 years, all these funny drugs! Quote
Hobbayne Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I,ll have you know I have an M C Hammer LP Geriatric indeed!! Quote
Rich Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Because it's a well-known fact that old(er) people never do drugs, as I'm sure Keith will agree. Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 So who is louise? the old bass player?? Speak up..I'm a bit DEAF! Quote
keefbaker Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I can't read this thread, I can't get the screen far enough away from my eyes and I refuse to buy reading glasses. Quote
