Who here plays a 6 string bass in a cover band?

I never suggested it, but it seems to be a recurring theme among others who belittle bassists. I've barely even touched a guitar in my life time. I've been a bass player since day one.

Same here, I'm proud to play 6 strings, and while my guitar playing sucks, I have always wanted to play bass first and foremost. Listen to Geddy Lee, how could you not want to play like that?

Fretted MM 5 for most of the stuff, my fretless Tung 6 for certain tunes.
