I dunno, maybe it's a great opportunity to try out a new bass, after all it did say gear would be furnished. Maybe a great prank could be played on this clown. Get a local jazz band to get "hired" one at a time, show up for his ridiculous practices until it's time for the first gig. Midway through the first number break into Mas Que Nada or Freddie the Freeloader. No, Watermelon Man.
The look on his face would be priceless.That would be beyond amazing. I would pay big $$ to see that

What would really be amazing is to show up with a well known musician under an assumed identity, then record the audition with this guy telling him he isn't good enough.
For instance Neil Peart could show up and add a few signature drum fills during the tryout, then we can watch the guy rage-fire him.

That's great! A bit of trivia for ya: the yakkety sax style was made famous by King Curtis who recorded the sax on the Coaster's hit Yakkety Yak. He later went on to front a band that included Cornell Dupree, Jerry Jemmott and Bernard Purdie. He was murdered in 1971 at age 37.Audition, get the gig, and at the first live show, have the drummer and a sax player show up and just start playing this:
Yeah, but gigadude is gonna be playing in his basement studio, by himself for the rest of eternity with an ad like that. But for sure, it's not ambiguous.The guy knows exactly what he wants and expresses so, with zero room for ambiguity. Bravo in my book - my like/dislike for the genre aside.
Here's a local active ad on my CL -

We need to know if the buckets will be provided. He may have a certain type of bucket that his years of experience has determined is the best for beer urination. I'm pretty sure plastic buckets are out, even if they're medical grade, and that metal buckets are in.
All of which absolutely begs the question: What's the best bucket for metal?
