KevB Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 My last band split last year, they asked me to go back and start again but I wanted something new. However when you get to 40+ the options become rather less than ideal. So I ended up doing a few jam sessions etc to keep my hand in. Then a mate put me in touch with a band looking for a dep for when their (overstretched) regular bassist couldn't make gigs. After 1 week to learn their set and 2 rehearsals they put me straight in to a showcase gig (oh how we love a bit of pressure...). Regular bass player now has too many commitments to other bands and has stood down and I've been asked to play full time. Then I get a call the other night they are recording a demo tonight and could I make it plus they have 2 gigs booked next week! It's gotta be better than noodling around at home though... Quote
MuseMatt Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 that's basically what happened to me recently! I was asked to fill in an empty spot because their bassplayer couldn't mix school etc with gigging (we're all students). Now I am the (hopefully perma) bassplayer and I have to re-record a demo and compete in some battle of the bands things (semi-finals of my county) i like it though Quote
