    Hey people!

    Just wondering are there any musicians out there looking to add a bassist to their band or create something new?

    I've been playing Bass for 7/8 years and have all sorts of gigging and recording experience. I also sing a good bit...

    I'm not too picky but I'd love to start up something fresh - Be that Indie in the vein of Kings of Leon, Interpol, Weezer, Arcade Fire or even Muse - Or something more math/post rock e.g. Battles, Sigur Ros, !!! etc...

    Bassically I'm looking to create some interesting, snappy, listenable music with a view to doing up a very decent EP and start the road to releasing stuff (which I have a good bit of experience with). I want enthusiastic musicians!!! Happy enough to join something good or start afresh!

    Love to hear from some people.
    Oh and I'm based in Dublin and 22!

    Hey man. We're currently without bassist if you fancy playing with us? We're in The Hub on Thursday and The Stables on the 2nd if you wanna check us out and see what you think. Went to see Muse 2 years ago in The Point, pretty rockin gig. Anyway, it's your call.

We are looking to get a new bass player in on the act.We have played every major venue in Dublin, Whelans,Village,Crawdaddy etc.Need a bass player to get back on the road. The right bass player will play a big part in writing or contributing to new material.Our sound is quite bass,drum and synth orientated.

    dude!!!


    We need you!!! we've just had our bassist bail, and we've got a bunch of shows booked here and in the U.k, possibly Belgium too. Our stuff varies somewhere between rock, blues,ska and a little metal i suppose. Bass is my fave part, so someone really strong is important

    we need someone based in dublin, we're based on the south side.

    mail me back ASAP at simone969@gmail.com

    cheers

    Thanks a mill for all the responses to this. Apologies I haven't responded, I don't get on this very often, but I'm afraid I've since found a few projects, so I'm currently not looking for stuff any more.
    Cheers again for all the interest though,

    eclectic rock band based in sounth dublin looking for bassistwith a wide variety of musical tastes.,
    our main influences include bloc party, ryan adams, muse, the libertines,bright eyes, my morning jacket, the strokes
    a mixture of alll these bands would be what i would decribe what we play.
    we've been playing together in one form or another for over a year and have played between 15- 20 gigs. we're all between 18 and 22.we have our own practice space and equipment.
    here are a few songs i recorded with quite bad equipment, we have roughly 20 songs and growing, the songs on myspace represent not the best songs we have but best represent the different styles we play,

    Hey! I'm in a band based in Dublin 15. At the moment theres two of us; we're both guitarists, singers and songwriters. We're aged 20 and 21.We're meeting up with a very positive drummer in a week so now we need a bassist to complete the band!smile.gif We've only been together a month or two but we've recieved an incredible response to our songs which we uploaded onto youtube! Some of them have over 1000 views already! We have excellent amps, 2 fender strats and recording equipment (a BOSS R360). I don't really know how to describe our music that well so its best just to listen to it! Heres one of our tunes;

    INFLUENCES: Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Rory Gallagher

    PS: The type of music we want to make would have a big thick bass groove so our band might suit you if you like to improvise biggrin.gif
