If he's the best guitarist in "tallyho" I wonder why he's looking for gigs on craigslist..hmmm???
"Looking for ANY band. P.S. I am the best."
Lol. Funny junk. This is NOT an exaggeration, guys, but I am IN FACT the GREATEST left handed bass player in my town.
I also get the most gigs.

No..........I'm the BEST. At least on my block and I'm pretty sure I'm the only bass player on it.
Check out this guy who responded to my ad for a lead guitar. Unedited but I removed his name.

Alright cats, I'm kicking tires. How old are you? How good are you? Can your singer put on a show? Do the chics dig him? What kind of PA? Do you have lights? Is your bass player capable of playing some Tool, if I want to? Does the bass player sing backup as well? Most of the songs on your list beg for a second guitar, would you be willing to ad another if I desire? Do you have a decent place to practice? When you played out, was it for less than $100.00 a man? Unless it's a particular gig or 2 that I know of that only pays $400.00 but plays 10-1, I won't play for less, and generally get paid more. I'm 43, but pass for 30ish,and just got out of a SERIOUS working situation I no longer found fun. This is totally serious, and if your curious, I play out of a 50 watt, Marshall 1/2 stack. A real one. I will not come and jam until you think you have a drummer in place. I live in Port Charlotte, and will not waste time. I also expect no more than 8-12 weeks of rehearsal before we are working, and even that is on the high side. One week night and a Saturday should yield us 8-10 songs, if everyone does their homework. I am a pro, but I also want to have fun. One pet peeve of mine though is I hate playing on stage with people who can't play. If you answer my questions to some satisfaction, then I will give you my number.

Did you send a relpy? LOL!
Just saw another one of a guitar looking to start a 3 piece band he says his influences are alot of hard indie rock like the white stripes,and Motown
Didn't know motown was now considered hard indie rock...of course i didnt know the white stripes were either.
Maybe he meant the Stooges and the MC5....
