Bass player wanted - West Midlands
Our bass player continues to be unwell but we do want to get our act together again so looking for a new bassist. However, we don't want to kick him whilst he is down so this is to replace him whilst he gets better. That will now be months, probably 6 months at least so looking for someone to cover that with the option to stay as long as the band is together if he doesn't come back.
This is a ska/two tone band, generally described as a bit rockier/punkier than the other ska bands on the circuit. 6 of us, aged 30 to 50, one lone female at the moment on keys. Rehearsals are usually central Birmingham on Monday evening, we usually do a couple of paid pub gigs a month (£50 to £100 each).We have gigs lined up.
Backing vocals an advantage. You will need to learn a full set fairly quickly but we aren't short of 3 chord songs, so it's not rocket science.Possession of a pork pie, trilby or similar hat also an advantage but not essential.

Aw, looks funWish I could commit, but can't; if you want to send me a set-list though I'll try running through a few when I'm not busy, see if I could be a stand-in stand-in...
Cheers. We do have somebody depping already but that is on a gig by gig basis. I suspect our original bass player won't be coming back even when he is well but our drummer is his best mate ( and we do all like him as well!) so no one is willing to say we need a permenant new bass player, even though that's pretty much what we are looking for. Very complicated!Originally Posted by thebeagle

The set list is pretty much what you would guess - Gangsters, Baggy Trousers, Israelites,Lip Up Fatty,etc,etc.

Looks like we are getting sorted.
notthedj's helpful response and through an ad on basschat. If anyone is looking for a bassist that seems to be a good way to do it. Nice looking forum as well, with avatars and stuff.

That's exactly where we found our guy from.
Cool - anyone I know?
not that I know of but its a small world sometimes! When we formed this band the drummer and I were chatting and realised we had both been in bands with the same keyboard player at some point and both thought he was a total arse wipe.Cool - anyone I know?
