do you live for, love, or like the bass?

I live for my family, my girlfriend, my friends, and myself.

I love the bass. It's my passion, but not the thing that makes me get up every day and live my life.

 

i wish i had saved an aim conv. me and my freind amber had the other day.... its sad but true.

amber: you know some times you upset me, im trying to talk to you and get to know you... get you to like me and all you do is obsece over bass

me: im sorry amber evey guys has got there "anti-itanisy feild" (quote from the movie "100 girls) mine is my bass

amber: i can tell.... some times it feels like a tug of war between me and your bass

yes, i know... i know, dont say it. but never the less it is sad but true

 

Live for.

does that make me shallow?

 

I don't know if I can say I LIVE for bass, but it is one of the anchors of my life. I build my own basses and play out still (I'm 41) while raising my daughter and holding down a job. This may sound weird, but I feel as if I am a some kind of a monk or priest whose calling is to honor low frequencies and the groove. When I play live, I definitely feel like I'm doing something spiritual.

 

Live for.

Whenever I start to get close to a girl I always make sure that I stop and clearly explain the role music and bass have in my life. I tell them that if they have any objections they'll have to find another dude.

Luckily a lot of the girls I know think my extreeme passion for bass and music in general is rather atractive.

I love bass. It is a big part of my life, but it is only a hobby, not a living, and I have other hobbies and other things to think about too that take up my time.

I've never had to warn off a girl because of bass though

 

Somewhere between "live for" and "love".

I'm not totally obsessed with it, but I am working towards making a living playing it.

I live for music and playing music, and bass is just my favorite instrument to make music with.

 

Love is such an overused word. I dig the bass, and have invested a lot of time and money into it, and enjoy it enough to play it out and about in various bands, and want to make music a part of my life for the rest of if (my life).

It's not why I wake up, nor do I spend all that much time worrying about it (regardless of what my post count would have you think). I happen to find it the most agreeable instrument I've yet to play, and would definitely miss it if I had to part ways, but it's not like it would be an irreplaceable void.

 

That about sums up my feelings perfectly.

 

Love it. But I wouldn't ever let it get in the way of any relationships I have.

 

Love it. I wish I could make a living off of it though.

 

Brendan pretty much says it all. I, too, hit the 'love'.

 

yea, exactly where I'm coming from.

 

Family is family. Love em, hate em, they're always family.

Bass is my life. When Theorem started fo slack off on the gigs, I joined a second band. Mow I'm in 3 bands & a 4th that we just jam on Rush songs. I have to play of I feel like something is missing or wrong.

 

I love it but I'm not married to it.

 

I don't live for bass, specifically, but for music. It's what keeps me relaxed, sane, and happy.

 

love/dig. I have to much going for me to live it.
