Cool. What other members do you plan on adding?


Ze Capital album is nearing completion. It's taking a bit longer than we were hoping, but it'll be done soon. I'm very curious how it will be received.

We need a drummer, which we might have, a synth player, and potentially a second guitarist.

I see. You guys are planning on playing live, I guess?

We could definitely use a second guitarist and a keyboard player, and if the keyboard player couldn't handle the duties, a synth player. Until then, our live show should be interesting with us sharing these additional duties.

Yeah, playing live is the plan. We've got a year off, so we want to make the most of it, musically. We're not really in a position to be able to pull our songs off without a couple more members. The second guitarist might not be necessary, but it would probably help.

Good stuff. Have you been looking for any other members yet?

Not yet, really. We want to get a half dozen songs or so done first. We've got someone who might be interested in playing drums for us, though, which is a plus. Drummers are hard as hell to find around here.

Drummers are hard as hell to find alot of places man... In my travels I've only come across 8-ish in about a few years, ranging from god awful to tight as **** it's a pain in the *** but it's worth it when you find that one (or two) drummers with a click...

Drummers are a dime a dozen, good drummers are as rare as warmth from a Vietnamese prostitute.

thats pretty true FH

lotta idiots i see at college walking around with drumsticks like wtf seriously what do you use them to clean your ears or something leave that **** at home

Really? We don't even have an abundance of crap drummers. We just don't have many drummers, period.

same with our church...four bass players, three guitarists, about ten singers, and one drummer:mad:

Drummers have better things to do than go to church, clearly.

Taking up the drums is bloody expensive. You can learn the guitar or bass with like £50 for a bass and access to mxtabs.

Yeah but I know some people who are natural drummers but can't play bass or guitar at all and still can't afford to keep a kit... But yeah it's practically impossible to find a drummer that isn't a posing wannabe...

The amount of people I see do this that can't even play drums but supposedly have been for years or "Forever"...

f[size=2]uck[/size] I'm bored.

Guys, I'm so bored I started a Twitter account.

Wow, I didn't realise twitter was so interesting!

It's not.

I know, I was being facetious.

bought a chili pepper strap for my bass today

its white with a bunch of peppers all over it...and some are on fire:D

You know, I've never really noticed the straps people use on stage. I just presume they're usually solid black.

I use a leather Fender one I stole from a recording studio.

Levy's: 1 plain black and 1 military style that I somehow got for free :smoke:

I use some 4" leather strap most of the time, but my 'Ray has the DiMarzio locking strap thingamajigger.

I have a 2" Levy's strap with some sweet tribal ying-yang pattern on it, but I only use it with my Carvin because the other basses (my 8-string and Schecter - which looks better with the brown leather anyway) are too heavy for it.

I use a fake leather one. I have to so it grips my shirt - heavy thunderbird head is heavy.

I've got a 3" Levy's one. Fake suede, I think. Helps to balance the weight of my bass. I'd like a bigger one, but I don't want to spend the money.

I can't really see what difference a pricey strap would make. I mean fake suede it probably just as good as genuine leather, only less pretentious.

I don't care about the material. I just want a wider one.

People swear that the big leather ones are more comfortable, but meh.

Hello friends!

So, I come to MX with a quick question:

I am considering trading my Modulus Flea 5 (my only fretted bass) for a 1967 Guild Starfire hollowbody. What do you guys think?
