Chasing the dream that being a bassist might get you layed one day, the great bassist delusion.

I don't think a masturbater would be asking this question. I have been doing it for 31 years...playing bass that is, and will keep doing it until I can no longer do it. We all do it...play bass that is. It feels good to get up there in front of an audience and do it. Don't question why you are still doing it...playing bass that is, just roll with it.

All you need to do is hear one song w/no discernable low end- then you will undoubtedly feel the uncontrollable urge to throw down earth-shattering, butt-shaking FUNK in order to counteract the negative effect on the earth's spin/karma/etc. Try some *folk* music.

You do it because you like it. If you didn't like it you wouldn't be doing it. Sometimes life can be simple like that.

Considering I seem to lack the telepathic abilities other members have, I must admit I have no clue.

Datsgor put it excellently. Playing bass is like masturbation and sex. You'll do it till you can no more.

More to the point - why are you posting about music in Off Topic?

I'm not posting in this thread until a mod moves it. That way my post will count.



Wait a sec...
