You will be playing for other bass players, since they are the only ones who actually listen to your tone and judge you by your gear.
You will NEVER master the bass - no-one ever has, not even someone named Geddy - which is NOT the name on a Civil War Memorial in Georgia.

| Unless you play in a reggae band. Then everyone pays attention to you.
The lesson? Play in a reggae band.

But for real, everyone in our band requests that the bass be the loudest instrument on stage and out front.

Any bass with less than 5 strings is a health and environmental hazard and should be sent to me for proper disposal.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
