I did a performing musician course at college but being the crappiest drummer out of the 10000000 drummers and the lack of bassists on the course I had to play bass and had to learn Hitchin A Ride - Green Day, Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous - Good Charlotte, I Wonna Be Your Dog - Iggy And The Stooges, Mr Jones - Counting Crows on a some rubbish Legacy jazz replica in about a week for a gig.
I still have that bass but it would cost more to repair it than it would to buy a new one so its sitting on a stand gathering dust
