Donnie would totally be on bass, Michelango on drums (he's a party dude!), Leo on Vocals, and Raphael on guitar. |

I used to play 6stg exclusivly and thought this was going to be my ticket to stardom. Wrong!! Learning to play bass and sing has proven to be much more lucrative. I play in two bands usually 4 nites a week and have to turn gigs down. It's much easier to play bass but the bass part is very important to the overal sound in the band. Just listen when the bass drops out during a song. Many times the rhythm challenged 6strngs lose the thread of the song and resort to lame wankin. Drums and bass lay down the groove and with out it you aint got nuttin but noise. I get ragged on plenty for being the bass player; so when I threaten to quit it's like no...no...no...we was only jokin. Playin bass is like making love while playing lead guitar is like workin at a job where everybody is lookin for your mistakes. Rock and Roll is not a competition sport. ITS ART !! Peace my brothers!!

I've always liked bass myself. I've always liked the power it adds to a song. Like Ake put it, if there was no bass, music would be a lot weaker.

A bass has two less strings so it's easier for dumb people to learn.
A bass has less notes to learn so you can get into a band faster.

Maybe I should take up bass full time?
no but, lead guitar is work but I bet the rewards of a good show outweigh everything else combined. |

when you are at home, playing by yourself... bass has got to be no fun... cause 90% of the time in songs they just play a few notes... so... how would that be more entertaining then playing a blazing fast lead on a guitar?

Or you could play Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm, Iron Maiden, Fishbone, or Bela Fleck and the Flecktones basslines |
