SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
[tapping on the mic] Is this thing on??? I'm a bassist and I'm looking for either a full band or an acoustic duo. I don't sing. I'm just here to handle the low end. I show up on time, I learn the songs and I don't drink. My goal is to play gigs, not just jam in the basement.
People listen to my song samples and then they tell me they don't want to play that kind of music. Neither do I. They're just samples so you know I can actually play.
My paid subscription will expire on March 16, 2024, so I won't be able to read messages sent through this site. If interested, email me at bassplaysme at g mail dot com. or call me at five-eight-five / nine-zero-zero / one-seven-four-four. Let's make some music.
