You need to take control of the situation. Just man up and tell Joe what happened and leave it on good terms. Don't let it all get any further out of control.

This is exactly what I did. Only way, as it turns out. I have learned a lot from this blunder.

Don't be too hard on yourself. The only blunder was not calling the guy that didn't make the band immediately, but unless he's a jerk he should understand.

This is Talkbass. Fire them both and ragequit yourself to boot.

And be sure to do it via text. If I've learned anything from BM it's that firings and quittings should be texted.

Post video for our entertainment if possible. Especially of the ragequit.

Go with "Herbie". If Joe contacts you just tell him that you didn't hear from him so you assumed he wasn't interested and filled the position.

Tough love time.
There is no issue here. Be honest. Be quick (although that door has pretty much closed now)

#1. Work on your management skills a little. These are real live people you are dealing with and it ain't all about you. You don't want to be "That guy"

Yep, feel bad enough to have learned your lesson and move on. Never leave anything hanging if possible, 99% of the time it will come back to haunt you later on.

I'm sure Joe and Herbie are grown men and they will understand everything if you tell them the whole story. Go with Herbie and contact Joe immediately about the whole thing.
