Bass player looking to do killer original music

San Diego CA

Description

My primary instrument is bass. I can sing harmony, and I play some synthesizers, and guitar also. I mainly am looking for a recording situation, but I am interested in playing gigs also, and I am looking for a sound that sounds good live, and good stage presence. I move around on stage and I expect you to do so also. I can go out of town especially if planned ahead. I'm not sure I'm ready to tour. I think I have pretty good pro-level chops on bass, maybe I could play a little cleaner, and improve the overall sound but there always is room for improvement. I have a good ear, and I can pick up songs very quickly, I have the expectation that I will be playing a good bass line that goes with the song, and follow all the chords on the first try. I have a decent understanding of music theory, and songwriting. I'm looking for a band that does original music, I'm open to the possibility of a covers band that does original music, but I want the primary focus to be on creating music, not copying music. So a jam band is a possibility too. I'm pretty flexible with the genres, I've played Country, Alternative, Blues, Classic Rock, R&B Oldies, and 80's Metal, but I tend to play busy or driving bass lines, and I tend to like hard rock and classic rock styles. I don't necessarily want to play retro styles though, I want to experiment some, and I could enjoy modern styles. I can do this for fun, but I also would like to make it big although that's probably just a dream, and I have a daytime job, and I'm not in my 20's if you know what I mean. I have written dozens of lyrics and chords they are not finished, I'm hoping we can collaborate, but I suppose I could be happy just creating bass lines if it's the right music. I do have some recordings of just me jamming with myself, and a couple of song ideas recorded. Please be responsible, reliable, and serious. FYI: I have had COVID-19 so I think I'm immune for now. I will take shots in a few months.
