tkr-bass Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Just joined Basschat so I thought I'd introduce myself...ex hippy from the 60's been fumblin with bass for a few years, not in a band-just in my spare room. Currently playing Fender Jazz & Precision plus the odd Rickenbacker & Status Buzzard 2 and looking for a Peavey T40.....need to improve & join a band...any ideas?

skankdelvar Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Hi tkr-bass and welcome Nice axes. As regards improving, there's lots of stuff in 'Technique'. You'll find loads of stuff about being in bands in the General Bass Discussion forum (and Off Topic - though some of the stories there might make you decide to avoid the pursuit altogether!) Either way, it's the same as it ever was. Keep an eye on the ads in music shops; on the 'Bassists wanted and available' here on BC; and on websites like joinmyband, musofinder, gumtree, bandmix, formingbands, partysounds etc. Or even post your own ad. Get a response, shonk off for an audition and see what happens next. Then you may find you need a gigging rig - and it's the slippery slope to GAS City for you, my lad Anyhow, Bassists are usually in shorter supply than guitarists, so it's good news all round. Hope you enjoy the forum Edited September 10, 2009 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
