super al Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I know I'm probably going to get told off, this should be in 'bassists wanted' but time is of the essence! My band has a gig in Swindon this Saturday (18th) and I can't make it. Deps are proving hard to come by and I've asked everyone I know. Would any of you guys local to Swindon be willing to step in? We play soul music, Otis, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Jackie Wilson, Sam n Dave. It's not a big paying gig There'll be no rehearsal Most tunes are in original key but occasionally there's a key change If anyone is up for the challenge I will be forever grateful. PM me if you can make it and put in a good shift for pocket money. The rest of the band don't want to cancel the gig but it's looking likely at the moment Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Would love to but I think I’d need a bit more time, practice and ability! Good luck with it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Oh dear - pity you're not a bit closer to Chichester - I'd be right up and ready for that! But that's a two hour run each way from here. Best of luck - don't cancel the gig - I'm sure you'll find someone, there's some good people on this forum. Of course you could try Facebook, maybe the group MUSICIANS AVAILABLE - WANTED - SOUTHERN UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, took me about 2 months to learn 30ish songs for my 1st depping job with this band (I'm not the quickest learner or a reader!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I know it's a tall order wrapped in a long shot...thought I'd try here as I know the bestest, nicest and most talented bassists frequent BC 😊 Cheers for the tip, will try on FB too!

Pm me Thanks Stew, you're a star for volunteering. The old guitarist is filling in on guitar now and the new guitarist is the old bassist so jobs a good 'un. Thanks to BCers for their help. Love this forum 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
