Toasted Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Just about to set off for town for an audition for a new band. It's been about 18 months since I've done one so feeling slightly nervous. In Sadowsky I trust! Quote
AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Well, you know your own ability, and with a 'dowsky around your neck, you'll be fine. Keep cool, and don't be a tryhard. Trav Quote
xilddx Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Yeah, best of luck mate. Nothing to be nervous about, remember you're auditioning them too. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Always take a cheap bass to an audition just in case you need to use it as a weapon Good luck buddy. Quote
Linus27 Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Good luck and don't forget to let us know how it goes. Quote
Stingray5 Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 For luck, actors/thespians will say 'break a leg' before an audition or performance as it's considered bad luck to say 'good luck'. What could we say then, to bass players? Given we don't have the same superstitions, I'm not sure that 'break a string' is appropriate... Whatever it would be, hope the audition goes well. Quote

Toasted Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 I like rumble a bum! You'd have to be careful what company you shared that in. Anyway, I've been asked to join - a sucessful night all around. We'll have to see how it goes. Quote
Toasted Posted December 1, 2009 Author Posted December 1, 2009 It's an originals band, I was sent 5 tracks to learn. We have to tighten those up, then there's 3 more "in progress" so once those are worked out and tightened up that'll be enough for a 30 minute opening set somewhere in town Quote
Stingray5 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Good for you, mate, and well done! Nothing like an 'originals' band to get the creative juices flowing... Quote
Cat Burrito Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Congratulations - no better feeling then aceing an audition. Well done Quote
