This is funny, coming from a sad sad musical town...
"If you are looking for a band, then we are looking for you. We are in search of a bass player. A good one. We are a very aesome rock group. We have regualar weekly radio play, we play shows. We make kick ass music. We just need a bass player. so here is that catch before we go on any further.
Be a sexxxy motha****a. you need to have a look that is consistent with our direction of the band. The least important. We can always make you look good though.
be able to pay atleast $120 month. we are a band, everyone pitches in.
Really importnat. since we aren't made of money yet, we can't kjust buy you gear, so have your own available and ready. No bunk rigs. We have nice ****, so should you. Oh yeah, be between the ages of 23 and 30. Old guys rock, but don't always look cool with younger fellas,. be down to have fun because aside from how hard we work at practice and writng material, it is all about having a good time in a comfortable environment. so don't bring your ego to rain on our parade.
thanks, get back to edh756@sbcglobal.net, if you are interested!"
This guy can't be serious!

We are a new band, wanting to be a full time band.
That includes doing it as a profession not just a hobby, and giving it everything we have.
We want to play something that is raw, fun, and marketable.
All 3 of us are either 17 or 18 so it would be cool if you were the same age of older.
Also no combo bass amps, only full bass rigs.
Tube is prefered, but if you have a really good solid state bass head it will do.
Ampeg, Aguilar, Mesa, and other top of the line bass stuff is preferred.
We all use top of the line stuff( Orange, Egnater, SJC custom drums, Madison) so please do the same.
Before all the Craigslist cry baby's start crying about me forgetting there precious GK. Im sorry we have standards and GK is completely not in them.
If you feel like you might be interested e-mail me or txt me 903-818-9384.

This guy can't be serious! | I'm kind of ADHD, but I honestly couldn't even read all the way through that with all the spelling and grammar errors. If you're that bad when you should be trying to present yourself *well*, I doubt I want to work with you anyhow. Not that I couldn't use the gig, just saying ...

|  | You don't want to do that. Trust me. Forum Administrator | | Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: atlanta ga | | i don't think requiring folks to be prepared to pitch in some money every month is a bad thing - practice spaces cost money to rent.
other than the age thing, i don't find this to be -that- bad of a posting, although if they are serious as they want to be taken they should have at least proofread and spellchecked the posting. that's, you know, like ... easy, dudes. that and the gk slag - that was uncalled for. a lot of bassists way better than their band could -ever- deserve play gk's.

anyone who makes a big deal over what you look like, or what *specific* gear you have, is a moron. "profession gear required" is enough, and even that should be spoken for..
they all say how they have monthly/weekly/whatever gigs- but they dont have a bass player? whats up with that.. |

Many of the ads posted here are pathetic. If they could have just spent a little more time on spelling and basic sentence structure, they would have been better off. Seriously, if there are any dumber CL posters than the ATL area, I would like to know who they are. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
