What kind of bassist are you?

[zachoff]

Just wondering what kind of mix of folks we have in here... Seems there are a lot of varied personalities and skillsets.

I've always either played punk rock or metal with a short stint in a ska band in the mid 90s.

[stonedmotus]

rock, metal, punk, hardcore, new wave

[Gozu]

metal, ambiant, disco/funk and post-rock

[no1likesme]

Mostly Folk Punk lately, with a wee bit of ska.

[NickInMesa]

Not too bad but it's a little hard to determine all the different types of music in a small list. I am not sure about punk rock needing it's own category. I would have rather liked heavy rock instead. Where do you put Sevendust?

[rappa29]

I'm solidly in the Pop\Rock\Classic Rock genres right now, but always shedding and trying to improve on other genres such as Funk, Soul, R&B, Reggae, Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, etc.

had to check other as i guess im a grunge,prog,stoner rock type bassist at the moment

i'm into a little known genre called "Art Damage". brainchild of my mentor in the early 80's in san francisco. a brilliant eccentric multi-instrumentalist who created music with such things as industrial noise, toilets flushing, and reverse spoken word. using whatever was needed to accomplish his next masterpiece. the genius was that he could imitate said noises on stage with common instruments with a four piece band and sound very musical. the punk rockers loved this guy!

I had to say *other* as I'll play w/e the gig calls for(w/in reason & my 'abilities'), except country. I could not play a primarily country gig.
