Thebassman75 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi, My name is Russ and I play bass for London based soul/pop band Lucky Soul. I'm an Ashdown, Elite String and Italia Bass endorsee and have a new album out in March, entitled 'A Coming of Age'. Our website is being updated for the release but a holding page is at www.luckysoul.co.uk I've been a reader of various threads for some time now and thought it was time to get involved a bit more. Aside from playing with Lucky Soul, I teach schools workshops and freelance for a couple of other companies to keep the pennies coming in. I still enjoy depping other gigs, although having moved to a new area a few months ago, I'm finding I'm back to the start with networking and the such-like but its fun getting out and meeting new bands and players. I have a real love of blues and have played in a few good line-ups in the past and would love at some point to be involved with a really solid blues band, maybe getting into festivals and a few small tours which would fit around my other commitments. Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Christmas and that 2010 proves to be successful and prosperous and I look forward to hearing from other players out there and getting to know a few new online friends.

You'd think it would be fairly easy to find a decent blues band - but it ain't. Good luck with your endeavours and a Happy New year to you.

OutToPlayJazz Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Russ, welcome aboard I'd actually like to play g****r in a blues band. Being a professional bass player means I don't get to stretch my guitar chops. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebassman75 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 I know the feeling.. I play a bit of guitar myself but have never been able to find a bass player I can get on with. I think I've got a bad case of backseat driving!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
