    My buddy has been trying to hook up a jam at his office/warehouse, but these weasels always have some excuse to not do it. There is a decent setup there, but always an excuse. Yesterday: "oh, not this weekend, Tony's out of town." So I said I'd bring a bass player, then realized I don't know one (that I would be comfortable asking)...

    Easy rock stuff, just for grins. If you're really good, forget it. We have a drummer and most likely a guitarist in addition to me. If you like throat duty, better still – I can't sing to everything I play. No expectations or aspirations other than fun.

    It's in Fountain Valley. We have the gear there, including a bass/amp. A weekend evening sesh. Just a WTF longshot; thanks for clicking...

    Um a shitty guitar player but have been known to play a pretty shitty base, oh I'm also a real big flake. But might have some interest, been thinking about jammin lately but everyone is too damn serious...oh and I don't sing!

    Shitty is okay, as long as your time is decent. Torto, maybe we can carpool it since I'm down here in TC?


    Haha, yea, Shitty is a cool dood!

    I could play "Welcome to the Jungle" in high school. We could do that after Ross' Iron Man.

    As a guy who doesn't consider himself a bass player but more like a guy who owns a bass, if you were doing this in scv I'd show up.

    Forgot how, never knew...what's the difference? : ) If you truly have forgotten how to be good, you'll be perfect for this group of hacks! Think about it... Friday evening?

    Number of the beast is my holy grail with the first two not far beyond, but having just taking out powerslave after not listening to it in awhile I think it's the most underrated album of the first five, good sh*t

    I still have my KNAC stickers stashed away. Vintage KLOS, KMET & ROQ of the 80's KROQ ones as well. Was a good decade.

    Been a while since I played the bass and that's probably a good thing. Will let you know, have to play it by ear for now.:)

    Didn't we all want to be rock stars at some time or another? I played bass in college and a little after. U2, Police, Fixx, INXS, English Beat, Pretenders, Modern English, Psychedelic Furs, Springsteen, The Cult, The Clash, even some 38 Special, Blue Oyster Cult, ZZ Top - a variety of stuff. Nothing very heavy. Tom Sawyer maybe. I doubt I remember a thing.

    I have a couple of nice guitars (Strat and PRS) and a nice tube amp, but can't play guitar worth a shpit either. Bass and amp went to my nephew in Murrieta - super cool white Gibson Explorer bass with ebony fretboard. Great tone.

    I'm in that camp too... the boy just got a new used drum set... I suspect at some point I'll need to get the bass out again and jam along.
