Bassists? Drummers? Jam? New England?

Wesogkan · March 26, 2011, 07:36:34 PM

We've been looking for a bassist for over a year...no one has even tried out yet. Still open to jamming with drummers also...

In Providence, RI.

Even a 2nd guitarist would do...

VOLVO))) · March 26, 2011, 09:03:05 PM

Do a split with The Body.

Wesogkan · March 26, 2011, 09:15:20 PM

Haha, now that would be a weird mix of styles...I want to do a split 7" with Kintaan, that would be neato.

VOLVO))) · March 26, 2011, 09:24:09 PM

haha, The Body rules. Super sweet guys. Are there just no bassists in RI?

Wesogkan · March 26, 2011, 09:40:23 PM

There seems to be a general shortage of stoner/doom musicians here who aren't already in 2+ bands or total flakes...we need some fresh recruits from other areas or something.

Wesogkan · April 02, 2011, 06:24:23 PM

No drummers either? Come on...

core9 · April 02, 2011, 06:30:13 PM

Dude I am in CT and right there with ya. It took me forever to find guys to play with...stay persistent you will find what you need.

Wesogkan · April 02, 2011, 07:25:51 PM

Thanks for the encouraging words Core.

I've got my shit all together, waiting for other people to fall in line here. I've got stacks of pro gear and 8 songs written with plenty of leftover riffs for more. *sigh*

I feel like I've been training for the Stoner Metal Olympics for 20+ years and have no teammates.

I am a solid drummer, and a passable bass player. However, I am in a band....and I'm in New Mexico.

Sorry.

I know that feeling all to well my man. What part of RI are you in?

Wesogkan · April 02, 2011, 08:07:08 PM

Got a space on the Pawtucket/Providence line.

Hemisaurus · April 02, 2011, 09:42:26 PM

We played with a band who was a 4 piece 2 guitars, bass player, singer and a drum machine. Singer ran the drum machine, it worked pretty well. Gzus of course was not impressed.

Worst case scenario

= Bassplayer

= Drummer

I just can't ever be bothered to program the damn things.

VOLVO))) · April 02, 2011, 09:51:53 PM

EHX POG pulls off a polyphonic bassist pretty well. just sayin'.

Discö Rice · April 02, 2011, 09:57:43 PM

I am güd drummink. I live in Brooklyn, though.

What would you suggest for the reverse?

VOLVO))) · April 02, 2011, 10:05:51 PM

Actually, the octave up on the POG isn't bad, either. It gets a little tinny, if you have the LP filter high up, but it'll do a decent clean guitar tone if you try to play like a guitarist?

I can't play guitar, the strings are too fiddly, I don't play with a pick either

Yes, make this monophonic bass player sound like a polyphonic guitar player, magic box

Looking at that Ultra Harmonist doo-dad to achieve this.

Also thinking about replacing my G string with a Banjo string tuned A' or D'

VOLVO))) · April 02, 2011, 11:39:53 PM

Find one and fiddle with it, Herb. I played bass in a band where the guitar player didn't want to do any leads, so I did them all with four strings and that pedal. If you play hard, it comes out sounding like an organ... could be your edge.

WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP WOB WOB WOB AAAAAAAAAAA WOMP WOMP WOMP

I need actual peoples...a tribe/gang of potheads with musical talent, good taste and an intense hatred of corporate radio bands and teabaggers.

Lumpy · April 03, 2011, 06:06:56 PM

Do you know Indy from Queen Elephantine? He lives in Providence.

What about moving to Brooklyn, lots of beardos here.

yesca · April 03, 2011, 07:33:48 PM

Wesogkan · April 08, 2011, 12:59:36 PM

Still looking...everyone here wants to sound like fucking godsmack or hatebreed.
