Seeking Prog Metal Bassist age less than 24 Auckland or Waikato

We're looking for a bassist to join and commit to a long-term proper band thing involving time sigs and other such nonsense. We currently have one guitar, keyboard, drums, and vocals.
Do you like Dream Theater? Metallica? King Gizzard? We're starting off with some covers from them! Are you based in Auckland/Waikato? That's where the rest of us are too! We'll likely be rehearsing in the Waikato, though. Please let me know if you are able to transport yourself/your gear.
We're all students, so our pace during semester is going to be slow. For this reason, it would be great if you were also a student so we're all in the same-ish boat. Most of our collaborative writing will be done via sharing files and video calling, unless two members decide to get together in person.
Originals are an inevitability, the covers are just for us to get into the mindset of performing this kind of music together.
Thanks for reading! Don't be scared to reach out!
