Here in Central Jersey there are probably more coyotes roaming free than surf/instro bands looking for bass players but I thought I would just try SG 101 once again. Me, played lead/rhythm guitar, then bass in a surf band from 2004 to 2013. (bass is my main instrument) Yes, we did all things surf bands do (Otto's, etc.) and more. Scheduling conflicts and turning down gigs took the life out of that situ. Since then I became more proficient on upright bass and am looking to play the upright with a surf/rockabilly band. Yep, one can dream but I thought I'd put this out there anyway.

Waveohhh,
Bill - Along with wood shedding on bass, has your view of traveling somewhat to rehearse changed at all? I remember talking to you several times on this forum and in person about your reluctance to travel more than an hour or so from Dunellen,NJ. It was an issue.
I think I've also mentioned the Ventures Fest held in October in southern PA - 2 or so hours from Dunellen - you declined as that also was a travel issue for you.
As I've said to you before, you're not going to find people who play the music you are looking to play around the block, twenty minutes down the road, or in neighboring towns.
So.. change in outlook or no change in outlook???

Johnny,
Its obvious that you have a much greater love of surfing rock, especially the Ventures, than I.
That said, I live in NJ near Exit 135 of the GSP. Any guitarist within a reasonable* drive of that landmark, contact me if you need an experienced bass player. My preference is to practice on weeknights, gig on weekends.
*: 30 minute and/or 30 mile drive. No sense spending more time driving than actual playing.
