Well, I'm new to Indaba. And I have to say, I'm addicted. I haven't played my bass this much in probably a year. I'm really enjoying trolling through the public sessions and testing my bass skills against some cool-ass music.
My only question is: why do sessions seem to go so slow? It seems like things should be going a bit faster with tracks and ideas bouncing around. I've recorded several basslines and haven't heard "Hey, that fits perfectly" or "hey, buy a metronome" or even a "Get outta here you newbie!" yet. There's a lot of silence on this site.
Well, maybe that's just newbie blues. I don't have a lot of contacts yet, and I don't know how this whole Indaba thang works. But, like everything else in my life (like being married, raising a puppy, or writing a dissertation), I'll probably bumble along through Indaba well enough.
If you took the time to read this, and you need a bass player - make me a contact! Peace!

Hey Robert, thanks for the post... I couldn't agree more about the speed of most sessions. Understanding that people are busy, we're working on our end to make the communication, recommendation, and collaboration processes even better and I think there will be some great improvements in the next few weeks... However, there are already lots of great collaborators out there who work quickly. I've also had pretty good success by messaging someone whenever I contribute to their session. Here are a few names of people I think you might like to check out. I've worked with them in one way or another and they are all great!
