How long does it take to get band-ready?t

never really too late, except for the qt meeting thing. college chicks romanticize the talentless, twenty somethings really just wanna get fucked up in the peace of hearing the music. not gonna get any working age groupies

> not gonna get any working age groupies

A shame but pretty understandable. I wonder what the cutoff age as the performer is for meeting those sorts.

You're not too old just yet, but I feel like I should warn you that if you pick up any chicks you should be prepared to explain to them the difference between a guitar and a bass at LEAST once, which is more frustrating then it sounds.

Really? I guess I never really gave that much thought.

But it should be noted that I'm fresh to learning this stuff. I don't know what level of skill is really required for garage band tier performing.

"Skill levels" are hard to define, but what you're talking about sounds like something most people with two brain cells to rub together can easily pick up within a year, less if you're taking lessons.

Sounds good. There's posters up on campus all the time looking for new band members, typically bassists at that.

Is there something about the bass that just make people quit bands or something?

Nobody gives a shit about the bass

>>71172434
Nah, it's more so that a) bass tends to take a backseat to guitar in terms of public visibility so you just wind up with a glut of guitar players or b) few bass players really learn to play and use the instrument properly.

Learn some basic music theory as you learn bass technique, and try to pick up on some basic keys playing, and you'll be fifty times more useful/desirable than 90% of other bass players out there.

Just aspire to be Jaco Pastorious. You'll never get there (and you don't need to reach that level to play in a garage band) but you'll learn so much along the way that no one will care because of how great you'll be.

I do see a few older women at a few of the gigs I attend in a college town and whilst they are there, I'd hardly call them desireable.

Nobody gives a shit about me either so it works out.
