**URGENT** Need a bassist

[paulygates]

I am in urgent need of a bassist.

Our bassist has a knee injury and we have a gig 5th December. We need someone who is able to learn 90 mins worth of material very quickly.

See our website link in my sig for a list of songs.

Okay. We may have found our man. He is coming along to band practice tomorrow. He talks the talk, but can he walk the walk?

If he can't cut the mustard I will bump this thread on Friday morning.

What happened...did they amputate from the knee down???

 

[paulygates]

Not yet. They think its a torn ligament. The guy can't walk at the moment. We had to cancel a gig recently as he is signed off work and if he got caught playing a gig (even sat down) it would jeapardise his job.

Under the circumstances he did the right thing stepping down.

We have found an excellent bassist to stand in for our gig on 5th December. He already knew most of the songs and we have intensified our practice routine.

I don't know what will happen after that. Our regular bassist is going to be out of action for a while. It turns out that what we thought was a knee injury is actually his hip and he is going to need an op. He's only 34 - poor bastard.
