Good luck man. I have found 1 guitar player and zero drummers. I've done CL and Facebook group ads, so far no luck. I'm old so I'm not near a campus, you may have an advantage there. It almost makes me want to quit and switch to drums. But I'm not THAT desperate. :D

I tried an Epi Thunderbird at GC tonight and it was a complete mess. It must have been on the wall for a decade untouched. :( I'm going to try and find another that hasn't been so neglected to really see what I think of them. I played the new Fender American Ultra PJ and holy crap was it...

Any other make/models you'd suggest I look at that would fit the genre? Maybe an Epi SG?

Yeah my current bass is an Ibanez SR300, which is a reverse PJ. I was really just wanting to see what the hype around the P bass was, and a black P bass does kinda say "doom" to me. (Yes I know his is a Lakland :) )

Nah, I am in MPLS, there are 4 GCs, 2 Music Go Rounds, and other mom and pop stores. I just wanted to find a cheap-ish P bass to learn to work on and try out the famous P bass sound.

Craigslist, met in the hardware store parking lot lol. Yeah I was just checking it out today.

That was my thought process when I passed on it. I want to learn to work on my bass, but I'm not experienced enough to know if I just bought a trainwreck.

So went to check out a Squier P to turn into my BEAD doom bass. It was in meh condition cosmetically, but the thing that worried me was the action was about 2 miles high. I attempted to play it and it was extremely difficult. The neck had relief in it, but the action was just super high. At...

Thank you all for the advice. I've gotten the song "working" over the last few days, in the sense that I know all of the lines/fills and can insert them into spots where they fit. While I cannot play it exactly as recorded on Dirt, I can play a version that would go over well live, even if not...

Someone posted a CL ad. Singer/songwriter who likes Windhand, Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, and others looking to start a band. I responded with a quickness lol.

Would you got to a group job interview? I wouldn't.

There's a decent chance he never played it twice the same time! Rooster, Alice in Chains

I'm working on a song that is slow tempo and has no difficult technical parts. The transcription I have seems to be good, and seems to line up to what I can make out from the recording. The problem I am having is memorizing each little section. The bass line seems to have a few "themes" that...

I can't find anyone around here that wants to play doom. I've found death metal, shoegaze, americana, bluegrass, southern rock (in MN, lol). I've got a project bass lined up (Squier P) that I want to put flats on and tune BEAD. I just need people to play it with lol.
