Thought I'd share a recent post I left on Craigslist... I've gotten a bunch of emails and offers from it. Seems to have ended the debate.


Back story...


It's fuzzy, but I guess one of the local morning radio shows had a discussion about bass players, how they weren't musicians, and/or weren't needed.  I think maybe one of the guys has a band and couldn't find one... or kept finding those less qualified... anyway.  The subject spilled over onto craigslist and there were a number of, well I guess, 'anti' bassist posts as well as a few trying to defend the art.

Very good!

Eye, you did a great job of capturing the attitude of probably nearly all bassists regarding our craft.


Of course, I really enjoy music with a lot of bass in it, but not all folks do. Consider the commercial success of White Stripes for example. I suppose some folks don't really care for the sound of bass just as I don't like the nasal chew of a kazoo.


I really get burned when listening to music in the car where the road noise seems to eliminate most of the bass from the mix. Grrrr...
