Bass Player- Available Experienced musician looking for an original hard rock/metal band playing gigs & recording. Must have direction and some kind of collective vision. I’m easy to get on with and committed to the right band!

West Yorkshire based but willing to travel for rehearsals, tours, gigs and recording with the right band. Contact me via pm. Cheers, Tony

Thanks for the welcome, everyone

Hi all, new here but not new to bass playing. I have depped for bands in the past on bass and tried to get back into the game on guitar but got sick of other guitarists asking if I wanted another guitarist, in reply to my Guitarist Available ads.....as well as wanna be's that have lsot sight in enjoying music- no matter what genre. Sooo.... I've jumped ship and now got a Wariwick rig and Peavey Cirrus. Life is good...now that I can choose which bands to go for. I'm a little rusty, cos now I have to think where my fingers need to go and be more inventive on only 4 strings- oh, and they do get tired quickly!!!! So...looking for inspiration, developing playing styles and tips. One of my bass heroes is Gail Ann Dorsey- I love the way she has so much stage presence for someone that can also be so invisible - an inspiration! Great site! Tony
