bass stereotypes

[Jimmyplaysabass]

which ones do you see?

"He plays a bass, he must not be good enough for a guitar." Hearing people say that just pisses me off.

but what do YOU see

 

[BassBoy24]

most kids at my skool. stereotype us bass players as not real important for several reasons like... "you dont even hear bass in the songs", "bass isnt good enough to be heard", or the all time best, " if bass is so good and cool why isnt it called BASS CENTER or BASS HERO". i just laugh wen i hear something like that.
