I usually just do it the old school way. I’m in a college that has a music school part of it, found a few people that I’ve had pretty good chemistry with, it’s going pretty well.
I'm primarily a guitar player who plays a lot of bass just because that's the best way to work more. I'm really enjoying binging your videos. Hit me up
I tried one of these Sites and was a little disappointed that people wanted only certain brand names of Instruments to be played in their band. I play a lot of Schecter guitars and some homemade ones that I made as a hobby but if it does not day Fender or Gibson they don't even want to give you a try.
Thank you for this video Clark! Why is it that no one has built a really decent bandmate-finding website? It really baffles me that we still have these poorly designed websites with outdated functionality. Is it too complicated to build, or is it too hard to make money owning/operating the website? Please comment if you have any idea. Thanks!
I'm so glad you found this video useful! As I mentioned in the video (I think), BandMix seems to have the best interface, but they provide zero guidelines to their user base on best practices, and this results in an enormous waste time. Of course, their site could also use a major overhaul. Over the years my best luck, oddly enough, has been Craigslist. Lots of wasted time from respondents there, as well, but that is probably just because so many musicians are flakes, lol! My new bassist came via Craigslist, and I had another one who found me there as well a few years back. He was a great player & cool dude, but family commitments eventually led to his departure. If I had the coding chops or the $$ to hire someone, I would take a shot at building a great site for finding bandmates! Alas, my hands are full with my band, but who knows, maybe someone will see this & build a better site! Thanks for watching & for your comment!

I've got a few Schecters, they're great! But yeah, people can be dense...
Was it bandmix?
