Who says he gets away with it?

Lemmy, for putting down his old bass because of tuning problems only to pick it up again because it was LOUDER than his backup.

Victor Bailey, for breaking a string mid-set and carrying on regardless.

JJ Burnell, for being my first bass hero.

Mick Karn, for being Mick Karn.

Norman Roy-Watt and Robbie Shakespeare for showing that a lot can be done with very little.

Bernard Edwards, not least for "Le Freak".

and loads more...

I agree, except the bass bit...
