good bassplayer

Ditto, John. I'm terrible, well unmotivated, at learning others bass lines. It just doesn't do anything for me. That's why cover bands and I have never gotten along very well.

I´m not that way, i think the best way to progress in bass playing is by listening to other players and try to play what they play.

I think that´s the way that the really influences come above.

The best school, is to listen to lot´s of music
 
Case in point JLJohnson :D jk man, I had to throw that up from a long time ago a very long posting about feildy.. never mind :rolleyes:

I am the worlds greatest player of basic blues pentatonic and diatonic scales.. and working in those chromatic walks.. but really I bassicly suck :( but I'm gettin bettah! :D or atleast trying.. hey I think I sound pretty good and I know that my much more talented guitar player thinks that I fit in well with what we play, so to hell with my short commings (like being able to write ANYTHING that sounds interesting at all... all in due time) I R gud! I R still learning, which has to count for something?

Or maybe I am just loud :eek:
