BassMunkee Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 [quote]The most cutting thing anyone has ever said about my bass playing is - 'you are playing like a guitarist'. It is a true insult to a bass player and if you explain this to guitarist they get all confused.[/quote] I fail to see why that's insulting...?
