quick quote from a producer

Sign in to disble this ad
It's not specifically about bass so I thought I'd throw in off topic.

"It is indisputable that without a great drummer, a band is generally not good, but without a great bass guitarist, a band is simply not interesting."--Michael Beinhorn

I'd amend it to read 'bassist', but that's quibbling.

I like dis guy.

Should be in misc....

How about bands should just have good musicians? No member is more or less important.

My favorite one of those that is very simlar to that...

"Put a better guitar player in a band, you have a better guitar player in a band. Put a better drummer in a band, you have a better drummer. Put a better bass player in a band, you have a better band."

Don't remember who said it, think it was J.B. Dyas (now at the Monk institute.)
