or guitarist willing to play bass? I'm a drummer & as I've been looking for a band I've talked to several guitar players, but it seems they're all having trouble finding a bassist. Rock, covers & original.

so you give up on getting together with me or just trying to find a good bassist?

I'd still like to get together...I'm just trying to find a bassist. We could put a great band together if we could find someone to play bass. Anyone...anyone?

Be a little more specific in your add. Rock's pretty wide open. Lots of good bass players around, but most of us are pretty busy.

i'm thinking about playing bass.. since that's what everyone seems to need.

what is the hierarchy of getting laid when it comes to the bass player?

The bass player is always last...

. . .but he usually gets a tag-team of the toothless chick too drunk to realize he's the bassist and the 70IQ bar assistant with a limp and a lame hand.

Unless your name is Bootsy, you're the last option - still well before the promoters ;) roadies and tech geeks, but last in the band. Lead singer's always got first choice, then the lead guitard, then either drummer or second guitard...

I can teach you to play bass.

bassists can be 1st in line, just make sure everyone else in the band is at least 10 years older than you :-p

I have been playing bass for a couple years, mainly les claypool slap style and death metal although i would love to learn how to play a jazz/funk style since thats where bass really gets to work its magic. Anyways, ive never played in a band before, always played by myself with a drum machine or whatever. I don't know what you are looking for in a bass player but im all ears man.
