The singer said he was using the method again following their success recruiting 19-year-old drummer Mike Byrne in similar try-outs last year.
"We were lucky enough to find drummer Mike Byrne through an open audition process so why not open the doors again to anyone who might be interested for the bass or keyboard position," he said.
Corgan, the sole original member of the group, confirmed that "everyone" was welcome to apply.
"As you can see from our past and present, age, race, or a person’s background is not an issue," he added.
Applicants can get in touch with the band via the following addresses: pumpkinsbass@gmail.com or pumpkinskeys@gmail.com.
