maxrossell Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 ... That every available bass player I encounter around these parts is either at such a basic level that half the rehearsals would be spent teaching them how to play bass, or so obsessed with advancing their awesome technique that they can't tell the difference between an interesting bassline and a full-blown bass solo? That said right now I'm talking to a really good guy (a BC-er, what a surprise) about possibly having a jam with us, so I'm a little bit optimistic.

Cat Burrito Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well I'm neither of those! Firmly in the middle, a pretty competent player without being flash and I'm sure many are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Why is it that nearly every guitar player can't read charts and wants to rehearse all the time? Seriously though,maybe that's the reason why they are still available? I've noticed that the ones who are normally super basic are often the ones who play bass because "it's only got four strings,innit." While the guys who overplay all the time can't (or won't)hear beyond their own instrument(This happens on all instruments). The guys who get the work can often play at both extremes if needed,but more often than not play what is 'right' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
