We bass players are sociable and for the most part nice to be around people. We hardly have tendencies to rant for attention on stage and mostly like to just be the guys giving the foundation to the music or dragging along a drummer with bad pace ect..
In my band we're not professionals. We play solid originals. The music is good but we don't get booked (yet). We're still in the stage of making a name for ourselves. Previously the drummer changed and the new one is busy to settle in. The band leader and rhythm guitarist is a good guy. He writes good music. Apart from that unfortunately he isn't much more than a stick in the mud. However, I seem to be the only one who reaches out to actually get gigs. The lead guitarist is doing F%$k all. To rehearsals he basically shows up and doesn't even bother to bring his own instrument anymore instead renting one from the studio. He also likes to brag about his tinder success.
He then tends to complain about the gig's circumstances and doesn't like surprises.
When pointing out to him that on the other hand I will be surprised if one day he might come up with a gig himself the only text he sent back was: lmfao. I couldn't help to feel the need of rearranging his face the next time we meet. He is a good guitar player. That pretty much sums up the best I can say about this douche. How do you guys handle the lazy jackasses within your band?
