Bassists looking for band

22310, Alexandria VA

Description

about me: Life happened and it forced me to relocate from Charleston, SC to Alexandria. recently. Im 33 years old, and still trying to figure out the local scene and how I can get into it. I've played bass my entire life. I know theory, modes, etc, but I prefer to play by feel/ear as much as possible. I've been in two touring bands and my most recent was getting distro/record label contracts. I play bass mainly but I also write music on guitar and enjoy contributing as much as possible to the writing process. I can play technical (Mudvayne/Primus/Periphery/Protest the Hero/etc) but honestly, I'd rather just sit in the back and help compose the song to make it sound the best that it can; however, if it needs to be technical I'll figure something out. Finally, I'm not eager to play shows until we know our shit is amazing (even if it means writing for 2 years). ABW = always be writing. Im basically down to play anything besides pure country or pop. My last band I wrote probably half of the songs (minus lyrics). Here is a song I last wrote in my band (everything but the lyrics) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6XohOedisI Influences: I will listen to anything typically but just name a solid rock/metal/alt band and I will most likely dig them. Anything with a groove to it. -Deftones (the new album is nuts) -Them Damned Things -He is Legend -Coheed -Protest the Hero -Anything Dave Grohl touches -Unearth -Alice in Chains -Queens of the Stoneage -STP -Rage Against the Machine -Pantera and much more Equipment: Darkglass A/O head Gallien-Krueger 412 neo cab Spector NS-4 Warwick Custom Shop Thumb Bass 4 Gibson T-Bird ***if things got serious i'd be willing to help invest in in-ear monitors
