Bass Player Trivia

Sign in to disble this ad
I found this bass player quiz a couple days ago. A couple of the questions are a little subjective for a quiz. But, my score said "I am a bass god, at least on paper." I thought that was funny. Definitely not true in real life.

What's your score.

What did that have to do with bass PLAYING?

What happened to Paul Chambers, Ray Brown, Charles Mingus, Isreal Crosby, Charlie Hayden. (just to name a few)

Too much emphasis on rock in that quiz... I guessed on at least half of those questions, got 76% right and I was a Bass God too.

88% Bass God. That was a stupid quiz. Too much Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Tony Levin (never thought I'd say that about him). I think James Jamerson and Jaco Pastorius are often called the world's best bass player. Dumb question, as were most of them.

82% (or somethin' like that), I'm a bass god!

...or something...

That was pretty easy, though.

Who are they? Are they from the "other side"?

One of the answers to the questions is INCORRECT:

Flea has not played a MusicMan bass in years, he played a Modulus Flea Bass for about 5-6 years, and now he's playing a Fender Jazz.

Glad you pointed that out. When I saw them back in January he was using a Jazz bass.
