@toneknob - thanks for the pic - he just missed out on a new set of Taurus 3! @ nottswarwick - you got it! @ Fryer - no probs - if you want to have a chat, drop me a PM... Good, now we all know what bass pedals are, does anybody want to come and use some in anger???!!!! We have 25 million guitarists applied and just one bassist... Form an orderly queue - now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DBP

Calling All Mike Rutherfords.... We are a 5 piece Genesis band, and we need to replace our guitarist and bassist, who have decided that they "wish to pursue other avenues of musical indulgence." We formed early this year, and have had a number of rehearsals with a view to gigging from 2013 on. Our secret weapon is a perfect clone of Phil Collins, and our mission is to do anything Genesis did with Phil, which really only limits us a tiny bit. What we're looking for are 2 guys who can either take a role each, or share the guitars or basses, play bass pedals, and generally look after the string department. Different songs will require a different mix of skills, but to give a rough guide, between you, you will need to cover electric, acoustic 6 string/12 string, bass pedals, and of course vocals would be nice. Bassist really needs to have either bass pedals or a Roland PK5 and a module to make this work - or be prepared to get hold of these. Current members : Andy - drums - full concert kit, electronic pads, every conceivable accessory and oodles of talent. Dan - keyboards - Yamaha EX5, DX7, GEM S3, Roland A90, D50, JX10, AX1, JV-1080, Korg TR-Rack, Wavestation SR, Akai CD300XL Richard - vocals - looks and sounds like Phil Collins [url="http://www.stillcollins.co.uk/"]www.stillcollins.co.uk[/url] We have our own huge PA and lights, and experience playing in other Genesis bands. Set so far Dance/Los Endos Home /2nd Home Abacab Turn It On Behind Lines/Duchess Can Utility 1992 tour old medley Cinema Show + lots more We are based in Woking and Southampton, so if you are based anywhere around the M3 corridor and have transport, it would work well. We rehearse in Basingstoke. We are of a pretty good standard already, and all play in other prog projects - but Genesis is our first love, we are totally committed to this project, and we need to find the right people to make this work. Talent is important but so is personality - pleasant but driven and committed is probably a fair description. So - if you are up for this, please PM me, or contact me on [email protected]. We are planning auditions on 15/16 Sep so please get in touch quickly so that we can meet up and move forwards. Keep them mowing blades sharp! Dan

Is there anybody out there.....

The position is still open - come see us at the Royal Albion, Reading on the 30th September... DBP

Wallman, we're actually in Southampton, Portsmouth, Romsey and London. Where are you? - I see you posted in the original thread? DBP

Bah - shame!!! Keep the replies coming, guys - BTW I should have mentined we do Kiss Like Judas and Screaming on the Beaches by It Bites - how dare I miss them out....! DBP

Bump bump - 2 years and a bit have passed, we are now called Sarus, and thanks to Jonsmith have got ourselves out there gigging prog! www.sarus.info and on facebook. Jon has however decided with heavy heart to leave us at the end of the year - mainly due to his very very long commute (250 mile round trip) to rehearsals. We have 5 gigs to do between now and then, but we have a vacancy! Current set includes nos. by Genesis, Marillion, Rush, IQ, Twelfth Night, Floyd, Spock's Beard, and we are based around Southampton/Portsmouth. If you are somewhere nearby, have your own transport, and preferably some bass pedals, then please PM me, or call/text me on 07824 359602, and we can arrange a bash. Dan

Bump..... Still up for grabs.... form an orderly queue... DBP

Thanks guys for all the replies so far - it's reassuring to know that there are prog bass players out there! PMs to follow.... DBP

[/quote] Well, we [i]could[/i] rehearse a bit nearer London - where are you, sub? This is Dan the keyboard player.... Hi to all, it's a real shame we are all so far apart, as it would be good to meet up with anyone into this stuff... Thanks for the intro Giles, and good to hear from you today - I joined (I used to play bass once!) DBP
