'Kay, I've been here a while spoutin' my simplistic opinions. But I have been living a lie to you here at TB.
For a while now, I have been rehearsing, playing gigs and getting paid as the bands Guitar Player...not the bassist.
I enjoyed my 3+ year stint of playing bass and will do it again if the circumstances where right. But at this particular point, I enjoy playing the guitar very much.
I have NO INTENTION of giving up my bass gear, or my lovely P-Bass. It's just too beautiful and special, and I still practice quite alot.
But I apologize for living this lie with you all for so long. I ask not for forgiveness, but understanding (except for my political adversaries in TPA  ).
P.S. I still double the bass player on his bass lines once in a while just to remind him I AM listening.
P. Aaron

I've got a mate who is an absolute animal of a rock bassist (plus he has all the stage moves to back it up as well) and he loves bass with a passion..however inhis day job in a pro gigging band he plays guitar ....I asked him once which he preferred playing bass or guitar and his reply was "I dont care as long as I cant make a living doing what I love"..ie playing music
(of course unfortunately he got more gigs as a guitarist/frontman than a bassist/frontman  ...typical but thats the covers scene for ya.

A VERY good drummer, at that. Hell, I'm even looking at playing guitar when I start up my next band, in spite of my wonderful new bass gear.
Point being, you're still a bass player, and you'll always be a bass player to us. Enjoy.

Just because they think that shredding sucks unless they're the one doing it? Just because they buy their clothes in places like Hot Topic and the girls' section of the Gap? |

P. Aaron, you used to be special to me. A harbor in the storm.
I've been looking for a guitarist, and I know you'd be a good one, but I ain't movin' to Detroit. |

Playing bass has actually made me a better guitar player because I know if I am too loud...and if I am, I actually turn down. 
I am encouraging our bass player to turn up and play more!

IMHO, you are forgiven for being a gui----, guit-----, g---, one of those. |

" You are Forgiven! You are Forgiven"
We can of course debate whether I make sense or not.
