Thanks Fumps, You've left very big shoes to fill- its those clown feet!! I think you might be overstating it somewhat that one day we'll be a "great" band: we merely aspire to being "distinctly average"!

We've now had several enjoyable months under Fump's stewardship, and whisper it quietly but we might have actually improved!!!! (slightly). Unfortunately Fumps has now had to duck/ chicken/ bird of your choice out due to other commitments (or maybe he's just being committed?). So once again we're on the hunt for an (almost) completely useless basis. We prize sense of humour above talent (well we have to) but as has been said elsewhere we are [i]trying[/i] to be a band, and we're looking forward to the day when we're qualified enough to have musical differences! And if you need a reference Fumps of this parish can attest to what a bunch of talentless tossers we truly are!

Hi Fumps, sorry for the dealy in responding - its been a while since I last checked in what with Christmas and all. Yes we're still looking for a bassist if you're still interested. We practice at Purple Pro Audio on Broad Lane, and tend to pop into the Acorn after for a cheeky vimto. Next rehearsal on the 2nd (when we'll be rusty as well as crap) and the Tuesdays thereafter. Let me know if this is of any use. ...[email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] BTW .....i was more concerned about the goat worrying than the mountain biking

[u]The Search Continues.............[/u] After a brave attempt Simon decided it wasn't for him (he's not actually saying things were worse than advertised but.....). So we're still on the lookout for those boudoir bassists and (band) virgins....

Hi Simon, it's more a case of what we can play, rather than what we like ; ) Having said that there's a definite eighties influence and we're working on stuff by Queen, Inxs, New Order, the Cult, Crowded House, Stranglers, U2, and Amy Winehouse ( something for the kids). We're pretty happy having a crack at anything - but we just can't guarentee the results!

Cyrene - we all live in North Leeds but we tend to practice in Bramley LS 13 on a Tuesday night. Too far?

Thanks very much for all the positive support! We've posted similar ads elsewhere only for some acomplished bassists to turn up, thinking we were being ironic- we soon put them straight! We remain convinced that somewhere near Leeds there is bassist who's fed up with playing with themselves in their own bedroom and thinks it might be more fun playing with others.

We are all in our mid Forties and consist of a rhythm guitarist with no rhythm, a drummer with no drums, and an occasional vocalist with no discernable talent. We are looking for a like-minded bassist (i.e hopeless) who wants to get together on a (mostly) weekly basis and give some good tunes the treatment they don't deserve. We're slowly getting better (yeah right) and hope one day to be gigging!!?? This may suit someone who played in their youth, and now dreams of those glory days, whilst their beloved Fender crumbles to rust; or someone who fairly recently had a mid -life crisis and took up the bass as an excuse to squeeze into a pair of leather trews. So if you're rusty, dusty or just plain crusty; if you're laid back with a good sense of humour and willing to suspend all expectations then give us a shout. [email protected]
