Great bass & music quotes

Sign in to disble this ad
I was just thumbing through an old BP mag over breakfast, when I ran into a great quote that I wanted to share with you guys. I also thought it could be a fun thread, so please add your own quotes, even if they are from you!

"In many ways, being a bass player is like being a guardian of the most precious element on earth. Groove makes the world go round."


Ed Friedland 2004

The first one that comes to mind is from James Jamerson, who when asked why he never cleaned or changed his strings, replied : "The funk is in the gunk" !!
