Looks... umm... interesting lol





But who knows, maybe this will spawn the first generation of girls who want to date the bass player in the band and perhaps, just maybe, username n/a will finally get laid

I've noticed this trend, "indie" protagonists being bass players.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Pilgrim

It's based off the graphic novel series of the same name. It's written and drawn by a Canadian, and the entire series takes place in downtown Toronto. In nutshell:

Scott is a 23-year old bassist in a crappy band with no job, and a crazy asian ninja teenage girlfriend. One day a mysterious girl comes into his life, who he eventually works up to asking out (also breaks up with the crazy teen girl). But the new girl tells him that he can't date her until he defeats her 7 evil ex-boyfriends. So over the course of the series he fights the various ex-boy/girlfriends, while dealing with his former exes, his band, etc. All of this happens in toronto, yet there is a totally surreal video game aspect - he "levels up" when he gets a job, his new girl has a bottomless purse that also functons like a super mario warp pipe, etc.

It's freaking hilarious

EDIT here's some sample of the comic:
