[quote name='Johnston' post='1067528' date='Dec 23 2010, 10:14 AM']I'd add one exception to that. Bass players who consider themselves guitarists but are just playing bass to *enter reason here*[/quote]
OMG me!!! Played acoustic guitar and dabbled in electric for 9 years.
Mates can not find a bass player at all they all seemed to suck so they asked if I will have a go.. I was a bit reluctant at first but it's cool now, the stuff they play is relatively simple as it's a deathcore band.
However trying to make a side project function band to actually generate some revenue which will let me play around with this big beasty bass!
Anyway on topic, the rhythm guitarist is a smug bugger in our band and abhors down anything he sees unless they are signed then apparently they are 'good' so I shot him down and said well they play better then you .. Lol
I hate bands that play then go... Real pet hate, now I know some bands travel a lot but he'll musics music, you learn enjoy and relax to it and heck If the bigger bands are playing more of a chance they will say 'hey play a gig with us' than if you're not there!
