Well, I just received a message from a drummer and a bassist, who asked me if I might be interested in starting a band with them (or more like join their unnamed band, really). So far, I know little about them. They have a rehearsal space and they play something they call Stoner Rock , which I am completely unfamiliar with. I've read on Wikipedia that it's a slower, more Bass-heavy style of rock, so that goes a bit against my preferences. Then again, if they're only starting up, I might be able to influence the sound a bit, so there might be hope.

Now, they are probably already aware that I don't have the biggest, most badass amp of all time (they found me through a post on another website dedicated to finding local musicians, where I wrote I don't have the best gear, but it works fine for practice at home), but I'm thinking that if this works out, I'll spend the money I get back next month on a stack, that I've found on a Danish eBay-like site (100W Marshall Tube Head with 412 cabinet), which costs about the same as what I get back, so the gear will be fixed quickly if things go well.

My only problem is: Should I go for it when I know they want to play some more Bass-heavy music than I prefer, or should I hold back and see if I can find some bandmates at my upcoming music school event?
