Nickthebass Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 My name's Nick, I'm a bass player currently living in London but it looks like I'm going to be moving to Aberdeen in a couple of months.Given the move I'm going to be looking for a new band and generally interesting musical things to do and so I should tell you all a bit about me. I've gone through phases of playing alot of blues, I was in a big band for a couple of years at university and I was even in a Kylie tribute act for a while. More recently I was in a live drum'n'bass band (keiretsu on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads) and been doing a muso-pop studio project (Beamer Grande on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads), I've even done a couple of musicals in the past. My big influences are James Jamerson, Jack Bruce, Aston Barrat and Pino Palladino. Listening-wise I'm listening to a lot of folk and metal at the minute (Seth Lakeman, Slipknot and Alice In Chains) but I'd have to take Marvin Gaye and the Four Tops if I was going to a desesrt island.I'd be interested in originals or covers, the most important thing is having fun and playing with some good musicians. If you're in the market for a bass player let me know. Thanks,Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthebass Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I should also say that I'm 30 (some people are gonna be put off by that) and that I'm not expecting to make my living playing music. I work full time.Also it looks like I've going to be moving up at the end of February but I'll be up between now and then looking at flats.

Suimasen Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Howd'y, I must say that i really like your Beamer Grande link. Quite a creative sound. Unfortunately i'm not really looking to form a band or anything, (was just looking at your post for the hell of it) but yeah best of luck!

Nickthebass Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 If by "writing bass melodies" you mean writing my own melodic bass parts then yes I do. But if someone else comes up with a better idea then that's ok too. I'm not a root pounder (unless that's the write thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthebass Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thought I'd give this a bump as I'm now moved up here and getting bored of not playing.Anyone know anyone who needs a bass player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
