Smashing Pumpkins looking for a bassist

[Mcgiver69]

Hey guys,

Looks like Ms Pooley had a baby and wants to spend some time with her newborn.

Here is an advert of Mr. Corgan having an open audition for bassist and keyboardist.

If you think you can do it and you really want to be next to Billy Corgan this is your chance.

Might record some videos of me playing along to their songs, just for a laugh.

Shouldn't this be in the 'Bassists Wanted' forum?

Ouch, I can't imagine it would be a nice environment to work in! By all accounts, he's a right tosser.

Given the Pumpkin's history of hiring rather gorgeous ladyfolk for bassplay duties, I imagine 90% of the BC readers can write themselves off of the list even if they do have ambitions towards landing this gig!

Im a long time fan of the Pumpkins, and if they ever decided they do not want a hot young woman playing bass, ill do it instead.

I think I know which option id choose.

Im 90% sure the next bassist will be yet another female who looks good in knee length boots.

billy rang me himself ad asked me to do it but i told him i was to busy to be playing in such a small band. :s

[AndyTravis]

i'm going to put my name in the hat for this, i've got a better set of top bollocks than the last three, haha.

Still, that little bit of me is saying 'go for it, you never know...'

May send my cv in, he may want a 25 year old lad on bass...

[KevB]

If her solo stuff doesn't take off you'd think someone like Melissa Auf Der Maur would be a shoe in...

[Shockwave]

You know what, i'm going for it, you never know!

[Marvin]

Where can one pick up an application form, or is it CV's and covering letter only?

[Clarky]

They always say it helps in any job application if you can prove you are a well-rounded individual with extra-curricular interests. Do you think it would help if I mentioned I was the head of my university's Biochemistry Society social committee?
