blue Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 [quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1425807042' post='2710783'] I have a "bassist available" ad out. Just got this reply; "Interested in joining a psychedelic rock band? do you have hair? do you wear baggy or skinny jeans? Do you have good equipment? Are you good? Reliable?" [/quote] My response would be; [i]Cool, do you have paying gigs booked?[/i] Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What about a cape ala Rick Wakeman. Always wanted to join a band that insist you all wear a cape. Or maybe a 2112 era Rush kimono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If that ad had been in my area recently I'd certainly have followed it up for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 For some bands image is important. Some musicians think it's ok to look like a sack of sh*t with a string tied around the middle. Clearly the two are not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the hair requirement, from what I remember of the era 50% of the bassists wore woolly hats. Like this bloke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
