I put up an ad at the local musician store not expecting anything, and someone actually answered it!
Probably for the last 3 years or so, thats all I talked and prayed for and its finally coming true.
Basically I was a guitar player at first, but the new guy brought over his bass rig and i've switched to bass (despite never having touched one before in my life. We're running through several Tool and Disturbed songs (Tool's bassist must get really bored), although we have a few Black Sabbath (my insistance) and Pink Floyd songs on our list to practice.
Wish me luck, I hope my dreams of playing the stage come true in the next year.
