Our bass player "plague"
Friends,
I can't believe what's going on currently. One bass player after the other leaves the band! Yesterday we rehearsed with the 7th bassist in a row. Leave a mark in the door for every bass player and soon there would be no door no more
Before you suggest we should honestly ask ourselves if there's something wrong with us...all of these guys left due to changes in their personal lifestyle, except of one guy who had health issues.
The guy that came yesterday is an excellent player, but we've kind of lost the will to be hopeful.
We kinda start from zero now - well maybe that's good who knows....

man, i feel that pain. Chemistry is so important and when you can't keep consistent personnel, I have found anyway, it's a distraction in that regard. Best wishes hoping this one works out for you and your mates.

Forget the bass player. Get a git player to run thru pseudo-bass lines.
Hound Dog Taylor was a trio........2 gits and a drummer. Brewer Phillips was the 2nd guitar.
Listen to some of their stuff and see what you think.

Yeah it kinda feels "spinal-tappy", but fortunately without the funerals.
At least the newest guy confirmed he would play the September gigs even if our ways parted based on our decision.

7 is your lucky number, man... Don't give up hope! You never know, maybe if this bass player doesn't work out, there will be that one guy or gal in the crowd at one of your shows that could be the one.
