JonathanD Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I only have one recording of myself with a full band that I would consider represintative of my work. How would you guys suggest I put together an audition pack for bands/groups looking for a bassist? I can record myself at home, but what do I play? Do I play the bass part as it is. I dont think people want to hear that because it is often not exciting to listen to. But I dont want to play a bunch of solo type stuff because I dont want them to think I would overplay. I am currently looking at studio/hired bassist work. If I find a group I want to join full time and pour my soul into that is a different beast altogether. ERRR I need some direction... if you could please help me out that would be great. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moot Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Try a search here. First of all (and most importantly) keep it simple. Treat it as you would a resume for a job. Include a short musical history, influences and types of music you are interested in playing, a decent photo of you playing and a list of equipment. Your demo should be a well recorded band setting and rather than full songs give clips of no longer than 30 seconds. Good Luck "He is to music what Stevie Wonder is to photography." getz76 I have nothing nice to say so . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
