I'm going to post my own cl ad now. I've been looking for a band to play with for quite some time, and every time I go out to try out for a band, it's just terrible. So I posted my own ad. The first reply, an hour later, is a guy wanting to put together a classic rock / modern country cover band. You will find the oddity in this after you read my ad:

I've been looking for something decent here for a while. I play bass. I'm not Jaco, but I can play. Have amp and a bass. Not looking to tour the US, also not looking to just jam in your parent's basement. Playing some gigs here and there, after we've gotten tight is ideal. Don't invite me over to come try out 2 days before your band breaks up. I can practice 1 night a week (preferably week nights) or weekends. Music I'm into : murder by death, dethklok, opeth, johnny cash, isis, motorhead, the white stripes, the cramps, crass, old tiger army, old misfits, black flag, bright eyes, pedro the lion, ... etc. Douche bags and drug addicts need not apply. Please do not have a singer that ends every word in "-uh" a la James Hetfield. I'm not a southern metal fan, so rebel flag dimebag guitars probably won't win me over. I'm pretty open to indie, rock, alternative, some types of metal (like isis, or pelican), basically anything good.
Also, I'm a grown up, so please be a grown up. I do not want to play classic rock, new country, or top 100 covers. If something in my ad made you think that I did, I'm sorry.
