I dunno - I think it could use some bass, dude.

J/K - I see you're looking for bass.

Sounds good to me. Hope you get that bassist.

Even with just the drums and guitar that made me want to go start a mosh on a crowded city bus. Only 'cause there aren't any shows going on around here where that'd be appropriate. But, at least there are plenty of people on the bus.

But I digress. Keep it up and good luck with your bassist search.

why is it that bass players are so hard to find now a days.. my band has been looking for a bass player in Sacramento for almost 2 years now.. when we do find someone the never get back to us or they dont have good equipment....why is bass a instrument that is dead or almost dead...

Because no one wants to do it and IF they do, they invariably don't understand how and why.

The best I ever heard was this guy who claimed he played bass because he couldn't play guitar.

After playing a simple 1-4-5 with this guy, I told him he wasn't playing with the right key.

With a straight face he said, "I play either with my hands or a pick, but I never heard of anyone using a key."

Lanzar13, Are you using the Bandmix search function?
It took me several months of search and send tactic to get our bass and drummer aboard.
It is frustrating. In my case though it was an effective means of finding the "right" musicians.
Others on the board have found musicians through open mic nights and such.
Hell we are in the middle of podunck Texas, and I hade several people to audition.
Surely you can do better in Cali?

Great. Finally metal drummers who don't over-use the fckin bass pedals. Very nice. You had to be in good ol Cali, eh?
Good luck.

Nice informational post. Danm few of us have any meter involved in the listening process here. Even fewer are using good speakers.
For the most part it's the feel we get listening on the ol puter that we are commenting on.
Glad to see you being more proactive in you evaluations.
