I am kinda honored. The story behind is there was another add on craigslist for months that was the exact opposite. Professional Bass Player for your band. He was looking for a paid gig, very straight cut, No social drinking at practice and wanted to do the standard RnB, Classic Rock stuff.

I figured Im nothing more then your average hard rock bassist with a relax attitude so I changed his add and toss it up. It actually got flagged and removed. LOL

Doesn't being a bass player alone usually separate you out enough?
