its kinda cool to be a bassist too.... you always got work!! its better to be a medicore guitar player and a good bass player then only a killer guitar player.... esier to find a band [ok]

but if you are a killer guitar player then you might find a band anyway.. but there are WAY to many guitarists out there!!!

I've been playing guitar for the last 15 years, picked up the bass off and on throughout that timeframe.

Im thinking of buying a new Carvin rig in the near future, something very large, to go with my new Carvin LB75.  Your right though, it is easier to find some guys to play with when you play Bass, everyone play's guitar.

Hey guys

I dont play any instruments, but my mates are thinking of making a band (they both play guitar) & they're asking me to learn Bass. The thing is I dont know anything really about Bass Guitar, can someone just give me a breif run down about whether Bass is hard to learn & play, how much hours of practice do you think you need to become a decent bass player, what is the purpose of the bass guitar (as in what it brings to the music & band, does it mix well with other instruments)

or would Keyboard be easier to learn Smiley (I played long ago but have forgotten now)

I play a bit of Bass. Not a great bass player, but I can pull off a few Punk tunes.

I hate when people who play guitar say "I don't like bass, it's boring, it's piss easy"

I just think what the fuck?

I don't actually have anything usefull to add, except, its very hard to play with fingers instead of a pick.

I'm not a bass player but i have played it sometimes. And I have a friend that love his bass. Playing bass can be really easy and really hard. If you only play the bass notes it easy but try to play some funk with all those slaptechniques and pulloffs and all the other things they do to their bass.
Listen to Victor Wooten, that's a guy that can use his bass.
