BASS PLAYER SEEKS PRACTICE MUSICIANS ONLY(offaly/laois/kildare/north tipp)

jaybo

Hi, Bass player aged 35 Seeking couple of guys to jam with (ONLY) over the age of 25.

Not interested in gigging or anything serious....perhaps someone who hasn't picked up their instrument in a few years would suit as im only playing bass just over 2 years and dont have a huge catalogue of songs to my name. Can travel. (laois/offaly/kildare/north tipp)

Have jammed with a few guys recently but they have other bands they are committed to which is why im on here annoying ye guys.:)

Influences are rock

Thanks for reading

Hey Jaybo,

45 yr old drummer here, living in Portlaoise. Getting back into playing after a few years retired. I ultimately do want to get back gigging, but until I find a band, I'd be up for jamming with you.

Where are you based ?...and you don't happen to have somewhere to jam do you ?

eviltimeban

Its a pity you boys aren't based in Dublin as that's exactly what I'm looking to do...

Lurcher

Portlaois area? Hmmm thats an hour up the motorway from me but could do (not 3 times a week though)
Oldster guitarist with various guitars and Fender amp if you're interested. I usually play blues, rock from 60s and 70s, some 80s and the odd bit of metal.

Flynner64

Sounds good lurcher, I haven't heard back from the author of this post yet, but maybe once a week we could hook up, if we can find somewhere to jam that is !

Eviltime, surely it must be easier to find heads to jam with in Dublin, no ? What do you play, by the way ?

Donington1988

what type of bands you into

Flynner64

Hi Donnington,

I'm into all sorts, everything from chili's, green day, ratm, audioslave, nirvana, pearl jam, other funkier stuff that's nice to play to like maroon 5, ting tings, I'll try anything...What about you, what do you play and where are you based ?

Flynner64

well guys, any of you interested ??

jaybo

CHRIST...sorry boys got a virus on the computer and was out of action all week....

sorry flynner64 Ive no place to practice.

Lurcher it wouldn't be as intense as 2-3 times a week.

8 miles from tullamore portlaoise direction.

rock, funk, reggae, pop, i dont mind to be honest as ill learn to play anything.

Whole idea of jamming with musicians is to make me a better player.

Music Club

Hey Folks,

I'd be up for this - I'm 20 mins from portlaoise and Tummamore and just outside a town called portarlington which I'm sure ye know well.

I play semi acoustic - not played in a band before so hence the practise musicans idea seems cool. Been playing a few years but need to improve on the whole playing in a group scene.

Have a decent sized garage that can accomodate drums n amplifiers, noise not a problem!

If ye are intersted then it could turn out to be a decent weekend activity or through the week depends what suits everyone interested.

I'm 32 but that shouldnt make a difference...... I'm into all sorts that ya can fit an acousitc strum!

I'm up for it so wait until we hear more from Jaybo.

Thanks!

Flynner64

sounds good music club, and you have a rehearsal space too...nice one !

How about we pick a few tunes to learn in our own time, or suggest some that you already know (you guitar & bass players can discuss approriate key between yourselves) and then we can pick a day to head for Portarlington for a bit of a jam.

All interested pls leave a message here, and then we'll take it to PM and swap numbers etc.

That sound ok ?

hey fellas,

i've just recently moved to tullamore and will be there for the summer til college starts again and would love a jam without having to travel 2 hours to see me mates in drogheda. portarlington's only down the road

i've been playing guitar (have some acoustics but i guess it's the electrics i'll be lugging to portarlington) for about 3 years and have decent equipment. i'm open to anything musically. i should warn yas i'm only 19 but if i'd love to play with you if you don't mind having a brat around

Music Club

Hey New Fang

I dont mind at all, is it electric guitar you play?

Still waiting on a reply from Jaybo re the bass guitar!!!

Thanks
MC

Flynner64

Hey New Fang, fine by me too...us older guys are usually the ones suffering from ageism, so we can hardly do it to you :-)

new fang

good stuff. drop me a pm whenever the bassist replies. it is indeed an electric i play (a cij jazzmaster with pretty much everything swapped out and an airline tuxedo).

Flynner64

sounds good New Fang....no idea what it means though :-)

Jaybo must have got another virus !

Music Club

It really peaves me right off when players get involved in a discussions and then just drop off the radar.... bass player are you up for this? we could have a decent jam here....

Flynner64

happens all too often I'm afraid. I'll put the feelers out for another bass player, and see if we can get something going.

Will whoever's interested post another message here asap so we know who's up for this

Flynner64

Guys, Crazy Chester is interested in jamming bass with us. I sent him my number. Lets make contact by phone or text and get this moving.

I think we can forget about jaybo at this stage.

new fang

Sure, I'm oh eight seven 792 2328. Name's Gheorghe / George.

Flynner64

Nice one George, I'll talk to Chester about jam date, and will call you then

Leswalker
