Jazzneck Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1443815632' post='2877997'] Well, to do all that research you must be committed, right?

colgraff Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I don't mind the ads with age restrictions on them because at least the band are being upfront about their requirements and are therefore not wasting applicants' time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It never bothers me but then again I'd consider wasting anyone's time to be rude. Slightly off topic but I answered a 'mustn't be in other bands' ad once and guess what; they were all in other bands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1443807978' post='2877936'] There has been an add in Guitar and Bass mag for a while that makes me want to be mischievous....it is pretty much "Bass player wanted for rock band must be over 22 years old and HAVE LONG BROWN HAIR" I mean WTF I am so tempted to find a photo of a beautiful naked blonde lady playing bass and send it to them saying....really wanted to apply but hair is wrong colour..sorry goodbye...sadly as yet I have been unable to find said photo to allow me to carry out my evil plan [/quote] PM sent.

LayDownThaFunk Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I had a good trick when I was younger - show up to the audition but leave my bass in the car. Find the guys in the rehearsal rooms and have a 5 minute chat. If they seemed cool, "Just getting my bass, lads". If they were tits who didn't have a clue (or looked awful), "Just getting my bass, lads" and drive off! Immature but not wasting my time.

4-string-thing Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 [quote name='TransistorBassMan' timestamp='1443780191' post='2877587'] My old band used to state "timewasters welcome" in our Melody Maker ads [/quote] I once answered an ad posted by a drummer that had that as the last line....
