Dave Vader Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I too am interested in the outcome. I'm a bit bandless at the moment and thinking of pulling the bass out of the cupboard and leaving my guitars at home again.

operative451 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Well, its a long and slightly boring story... The response i got was from a guitar guy and a singing lady.. After a load of emails and a missed meeting we ended up in our local rehearsal space. They were nice enough... and the singing lady didn't sing all the wrong notes, just most of them. The guitaring was kind of shimmery and totally unheavy. If anything if they toned down the 'ALL the effects on at the same time' guitar and the singing lady learned some notes (her tone was quite nice, sort of Lana del-ray meets Kirstie McColl?) they could be quite enjoyable. But not what i'm looking for so i sent a polite 'thank you no' message. I'll probably not bother again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julietgreen Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 My first bass 'chair' was through MySpace! 😂 Somebody just approached me because I had the VW background and he was a VW lover! Later I got asked to be in a band when I complained on facebook that I wanted to play bass again and one of my contacts picked it up. But this last time, I had to force myself to go to the local jazz jam and sit in. Then I got a couple of offers. So it takes some networking. I did have a couple of genuine contacts through JMB but they were outside my rehearsal radius (which I've kept quite tight). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame, I've been wondering whether to post something on JMB as I'm looking to move to a new area on the near future. might be a nice way to meet some new crazies when I get there.

The problem with bands is they usually only have one bass player... Hmm, should we have impromptu mass-bass jams at Bass Bashes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
