Guitarist/songwriter looking to start a metal band after being kicked out of my last one for supposed anger problems stemming from drug and alcohol abuse... whatever. Those guys are the biggest bunch of hypocrites out there. They're gonna be nothing without me.

Or,

"Hard-edged, unconventional rock combo seeks female singer/model/actress for parties/recording/films. Cool, great-looking applicants only considered. No bread, but you'll have plenty of free drugs and a place to crash in the city. Hip scenesters only, man."

Banjo player and percussionist who uses a modified Casio keyboard seeks a virtuoso bassist to play experimental Bluegrass music. Must be able to tap, slap, pop, detune, play harmonics, and basically push the limits of the instrument. Beginners and weekend warriors need not apply.

Jazz fusion combo looking for talented but extremely arrogant electric bassist. Must not be annoyed with keyboard player doubling most of your lines with left hand on Mini-Moog. Fretless players OK.

I see that this one has stumped two, but smogg nailed the answer.

Seeking some bass and rhythms for a few Guthrie-inspired songs. Steady coffee house gigs all around Greenwich. On second thought never-mind, I got this.
