    Italian and classical vocabulary

    The answer would be.......it depends. Some bassists need it, some don't. Easy as that. But it can't hurt to know just a bit about the western classical tradition, as many other genres are inspired by this. Good to hear that you've learned someething from these classes!

    Just put flats on my non-reverse. I LOVE it! Just the sound I was looking for! :bassist: Silky smooth to play and a real good thump to it.

    do you really have to learn how to read music to be a good bassist?

    I'm sorry, but your arguing against yourself here.
