ABOUT

32 year old experienced bassist with gear + white van. Been gigging 17 years. Can also play drums & guitar.

Looking for other muso's who can play & are happy to do covers... I don't mind doing originals, but covers usually get more gigs & more money !!

Leeds based, but I'm quite busy on the music scene in Harrogate (regular at The Blues Bar)

Can play electric bass & upright bass. Music reader (a bit rusty though), can jam on the spot as well. Quick at picking up tunes & can cram a set-list into my head at last moment if you need me to dep for someone.

* My influences styles are further below...

LOOKING FOR 1 OR 2 OF THE FOLLOWING :

1. Am looking to join an established band doing paid well paid function work.

2. Looking to join a band doing jazzy or motown / soul music. Happy to do styles like : ragtime blues, jazz standards (any era), modern jazz in the charts, live lounge / jazz, chilled acoustic stuff etc...

4. Happy to dep gigs & do ad-hoc studio stuff if required. All styles - I'm a good puppet !

5. Looking to join a band as a drummer - I have an electronic kit & will play any style.

*** Email me if you need a bassist or your a singer looking for a band : [email protected]

P.S. : There's a rough video of me jamming / messing around to the left of my profile - please note I usually play SIMPLE, SUPPORTIVE basslines !! Am happy to hide behind the scenes :) Just thought I'd upload this vid so people can gauge what standard I'm at... mistakes & all, lol !!

Influences

Anything as long as it's played well !! Studied Jazz at Leeds College of music - but love all of the following :

Funk, Blues, Rock, Cheesy Bubblegum Pop, Modern stuff in the charts (Adele, Amy Whinehouse, Michael Buble etc... ), 60's 70's & 80's, Ear bending guitar shread, Fusion, Chilled out live lounge tunes, Dance, Soul, Technical Death Metal, Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Gospel, World Music, Reggae, Elevator / Telephone hold music... whatever :)

I'm really easy going... I generally follow the direction the singer / front members of the band want to go. I prefer bands with female singers - but happy to have a male front man.
