One of my current bands is from a Craigslist ad answering - the first time they'd ever done such a thing.
Last year, I helped him put together another Craigslist ad to recruit a bass player - and so far, the new guy is working out well. On the other hand, the other Craigslist ad I answered eight years ago was for a cover band that rehearsed for a long, long time, but never booked any gigs. Meanwhile, the originals band I mentioned above was booking shows practically every weekend, and I was making pretty decent money.
Funny enough, that guy auditioned for the bass player spot in the originals band seven years later The best Craigslist ads are when there's a lot of detail and specificity about what the poster s are looking to do and what they want. I see so many ads that are basically "need drummer " and that tells me nothing. Last band I was in, and all went well. We only disbanded because the female singer had a baby. They gave me a songlist, told me where to show up, audition, got a call next day, no flaking.
Admittedly, I've had a few flaky experiences too. People that just want to meet for coffee or are totally delusional about their band. You have to weed out the good with the bad.
