No, I'm talking about the entire band being acoustic... guitar, bass, drums, keys etc. I figured that probably wasn't what you were looking for... acoustic guitar is great, and there's all kinds of pluses to adding that to your skill set & repertoire.

[QUOTE=Kasperow]what I meant was do I have to require they have a 150W Tube Amp or will it suffice with something similar to my own 40W Amp...

That's a good question... I'd say at first, don't be too picky about the gear... whatever way they can make it work is fine. But keep in mind that at some point, especially if you intend to gig, each member is going to need to step up and have the gear they need. Its pretty easy to solve equipment issues... just plan ahead so that it doesn't become a last minute panic to find an amp, cabinet etc. Really though... I'd base it more on over-all attitude, followed by musicianship, than I would the gear they use.

It sounds like you've got a good handle on things. When people don't work out, or quit (and they will!) do everything you can to keep things on good terms. The more musicians you know, the better. You never know when you might run into each other again, perhaps with a mutually beneficial
opportunity at stake. Keeping separations cordial will leave the door open for the future. Have fun!
