I am probably looking for somebody who doesn't exist, but here I go anyway. I am putting together a gimmick band, I need a bass player to get started. I play guitar, and a bass player who isn't just a hired gun is what I'm looking for. I have a drummer, and a keyboardist/ guitarist already. I have this idea about a tribute band, and a bassist who knows a lot of songs, or can learn a lot of songs would be cool. You don't have to be a great player, just somebody who can play bass lines for various songs. Keep it simple and steady. Accurate but not flashy. A good memory for songs, and the ability to learn them, and the desire to learn them is important. A bass player who can solo, play smoking hot bass, jazzy, fancy or technically advanced is not what I am looking for. Those techniques are nice, and won't hurt, but is not what is important to me. What is important is somebody who is a solid, pocket bass player. Please no primadonnas. If you are a hired gun, looking for gigs, or a blues guy with an inflated ego, just keep on playing blues.
Vocals would be nice, but not necessary. Any bassist who would like to get back in the swing of things would be OK. Will take a little while to get started, but once we do, we will be playing a lot of festivals, fairs, events and the like. I think we will have a much interest in our band. This project will be unique in the Sacramento area, with no other band like us.
Please, no ego's need call. Just easy going, friendly musicians. I am not a control freak, and I am very laid back.
So if you are interested, please respond, or leave your info and I can call you. This band is going to be a hell of a lot of fun, especially if you like oldies, top 40 hits from the 1950's to today. You don't have to be a stone cold pro to call. Decent is OK. If you are a guitarist who has the same skills listed above, maybe you can play guitar and I could slide over to bass, since I am a pro bassist already. Thanks Dan 916-332-3542
