Looking for Bassist for Tool Cover Band (Useful Idiot)

We play once a week, the night is flexible. We practice in south boston. (5 minute walk from the red line) We now play everything up to Lateralus, and a select few from 10,000 days. Our goal is to know the music well enough to only get together once every couple weeks, and play shows a couple times a month. We need someone who:
-Knows the songs exactly.
-Takes the time to get the right tone, and the right effects.
-Professionalism is a must. You will be expected to know music when you show up. We believe rehearsals are to fine-tune songs, not for learning songs.
-Has transportation to and from practice.
-Loves Tool.
-Owning a tank would be a plus, but not required.
If you're interested, please send me an email
ouchdrummer at gmail dot com
and I can give you a list of songs to know to try out with.

Yeah, I know it's a bummer. If you know anyone that's capable, please send em our way. The rest of us have the stuff down pat, with the right bassist we could really kill it.

you got it man
[Feb 4,2010 1:54pm - arilliusbm ""]
I know tool guitar players but not many bass players. I suppose one could switch but it'd be better to be technically spot on.
Damon?
[Feb 4,2010 1:57pm - ouchdrummer ""]
No, damon hates tool. Silly.

Too bad, you'd be great to have around.

I'd attempt to do this if i had bass gear and the money to share the space/drive to Boston and back every week.
[Feb 4,2010 2:16pm - ouchdrummer ""]
The space is free, i guess i forgot to mention that it's my apartment.
[Feb 4,2010 2:17pm - Sacreligion ""]
Oh nice. Now I just need a bass, amp, and effects.

Craiglist would be best probably. So many art student tool fans these days.
[Feb 4,2010 2:20pm - narkybark ""]
Yeah, strangely enough I'm not a big fan of Tool. Not sure why.

Thank you master of the obvious. This is NOT the only place this is posted.
[Feb 4,2010 2:28pm - arktouros ""]
im gonna try out. tool has a bass player?
[Feb 4,2010 2:31pm - blue ""]
If I liked tool and actually had free time I'd do it for you guys no prob.
[Feb 4,2010 2:32pm - arilliusbm ""]
Have you tried craigslist?

Good for you two, wait was this thread called "Do you like TOOL"? No.
[Feb 4,2010 3:05pm - Slag nli ""]
I thought it was not cool to have a bass guitar in the metal?
[Feb 4,2010 3:09pm - narkybark ""]
Xylophones are the new thing.
[Feb 4,2010 3:12pm - arilliusbm ""]
Craigslist is probably best and tanks were invented in 1974.
[Feb 4,2010 4:20pm - Pires ""]
Have you tried craigslist?
[Feb 4,2010 4:35pm - narkybark ""]
You won't find many xylophone players on craigslist.
[Feb 4,2010 4:41pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
craigslist has tanks now?

Even if you can't find one of craigslist, it's NOT required.

I'm sorry Jimbo...We's ruined your thread. Hug?

if the location wasn't such a pain from where i'm currently living i'd be all over this...
i don't have a whammy pedal anymore either so i'm pretty fucked when it comes to playing most of lateralus' bass parts...
if you're still looking for someone for this in 4-5 months, after i've moved, i'm in. lol.

Fuck bass. I will gladly spend the extra time and effort necessary to play xylophone for this band.
[Feb 5,2010 8:43am - neverpurified ""]
I love Tool, am currently band-less and could probably swing this, drop me an email: kylestevenparadis@gmail.com
[Feb 5,2010 8:59am - sinistas ""]
Bandless? Rohirrim done?
[Feb 5,2010 9:02am - neverpurified ""]
on hiatus for the moment

for anyone who hasn't seen UI live they really are the closest thing to TOOL as you're going to get.

yep, they are no joke, and jim doesn't need a 50 piece drum set to sound like danny carey.

Aw come on, Grant only sucks off the slammy DM bands and Revocation.
[Feb 5,2010 9:38am - Slag nli ""]
UI is no joke. Best Tool cover band i've seen/heard.
[Feb 5,2010 9:45am - neverpurified ""]
I also have a digitech pedal board w/whammy, which would come in very handy for lateralus/10000 days songs
