Just barely into 2008 I nominate this as the funniest musician ad. This is an actual listing off the Craig’s List website:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi my name is *name edited* and I am a Bluesman. I play a 1961 Fender Stratocaster which is all original and strung with .011’s into an Ibanez tubescreamer which has been modified with a 4558 chip and all carbon comp resistors. I use a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier which was gutted and all the resistors were replaced with NOS allen bradley carbon comps. I play the real blues like my main man Stevie Ray Vaughan, in fact I have one of his guitar picks which I wear around my neck for mojo. I am currently engaged to an african-american woman from Arkansas and our experiences together (such as people whispering about us and the dirty looks we get at dinner) form the basis for my blues.<\/p>\n

I need a bass player and a drummer to back me up in the studio and maybe for some gigs too. The bass player needs to have a Fender bass built BEFORE 1965 with no ceramic tone caps ( I will have my tech at auditions to open up and check) must use all tube amplifiers pre-1980, with an 8×10 cabinet and own transportation. The drummist needs to be familiar with all the various blues beats like the shuffle, the flat tire, the shug, the funky dunk, and the whap-a-dang. Please, no Sonar or Pearl kits!<\/p>\n

I have written an album;s worth of songs “The Blues Are Falling Down On Me” “Cold Blue Rain” “I Got The Blues For My Baby” “Bluesman Blues”. And need a back up band to help record it.<\/p>\n

When applying for either position, please send a detailed description of your equipment (with photos) along with photos of yourself in gig clothing. After receiving that, I will call you to arrange an audition.<\/p>\n

I got my mojo woiking and I hope yours is too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
