Yes, so, James the Bassist is offski. He's going to be concentrating on his new hardcore band or something. Like we care.

SO! WE NEED A NEW BASSIST! IT'S OFFISHULL!

If you want to check out the band: www.deadlosssuperstar.co.uk

Eight people (some we know, some we don't) have put themselves forward so far... some are in bands already, some aren't, some are in their late 20's, some are in their teens, some like emo, some don't, etc etc etc...

it's like a big melting pot of bassists... anyway, if you want to be considered, post in this thread or PM me... further details below, cheers.


1. Bassist must be willing to travel for gigs where at all possible.
2. Bassist must be prepared to take to the stage frequently with no rehersal or soundcheck - i.e. the ability to teach yourself the songs would be useful here.
3. Bassist must be unafraid of rock music, with an appreciation of metal, stoner, grunge, etc.
4. Bassist must NOT play funk bass. We spent years trying to ditch a funk bassist, we're not going back there in a hurry.
5. Bassist must be aware that 'stage antics' could involve stuff being thrown at him, beer being sprayed in his general direction, his (or her) being pushed over the lip of the stage, and/or a right good piley-on style kicking at the end of the set.
6. Bassist must sing backing vocals, probably.
7. Bassist must be 18 or over.
8. Bassist must NOT be shite.
9. Bassist must be willing to rehearse in random locations (aberdeen/dundee/edinburgh) when at all possible. Rehersals will occur only once or twice a year (see point 2)
10. cannae think of any more. feel free to add your own.

I think that should just be a general rule for all bassists not in a funk band...

You should turn this into a tv show on Sky One/MTV

I think it should be decided with a fist fight, last man standing wins.
I have a black belt in cooking - kill ya with one chop.

Bassist should have a car, I thought would have been a good idea

[stuartmaxwell]

what about J.A.G?

[The Ghost Of Fudge]

11. bassist should preferably have car.
12. bassist should preferably have a bass guitar, and maybe even a bass amp.
13. bassist should be able to play the bass.

14. Like all bassists; they must either be a failed guitarist, or secretly wishes they were *EDIT* a guitarist

Secretly wish they were a failed guitarist ?

[RossP]

Edited suitably. But perhaps it could be true...
