In years gone by I thought I would have loved to have been a Pro bassist.
Obviously there have to be sacrifices - relationships seem to take a beating.
Arguments with Record companies, getting ripped off by managers and ending up hating your band mates all seem commonplace.
Fame and fortune are fleeting, and it must be really grating to others to hear "don't you know who I am".
Most of us play because we love to. When it becomes a job that must suffer.
So given the opportunity who would have been a Pro player as a career?
