Just a thought, should we not have a category for ‘Heft’?

Or 'good at metal'.

[Leonard Smalls]

Year started playing: 1983

Number of basses: 5

Music theory: Did grade V theory 40+ years ago... 

Technique: 1. Or 10, depending on the criteria! Not many folks seem to play in the same way as me, though that may be with good reason!

I think it would had been a good idea to add "writing/composing" skills to the list.

 

Year started playing: 1994 (I think, might had been 1993)

Number of basses: 6

Number of instruments played: Them all! (only really know how to play bass and guitar well though. And then I don't know if computer and midi counts as an instrument, but am highly skilled at that too)

Music theory: 3? (I know the basics, but I can't read nowhere near fluently, I would have to sit and point at the sheet with my finger, counting each note)

Technique: 6

Groove: 6

Heft: I play very lightly, but heavy.... If I have to I can go to 11

Writing/Composing: 8 (yes, again it would be very cumbersome for me to write in standard notation, but multi track recordings and midi grit has been invented)
