PJ from Pikesville. Used one of your Brubakers to demo with Terrance Palmer.

Cool. Long time no see.

But in the end, we all, even if we don't admit it, will still look at that bass player in the bar and apply a certain level of analyzing to their playing. It's human nature.

That's true... but how many immediately assume things based solely on what the bassist is holding? I don't.

I'll play whatever I want, whatever way I want, and anyone else is welcome to do the same.

I personally LOVE riding in the pocket with my 4 or 5 strings... I save my licks and flashy stuff for practice at home or around friends... the music I play requires a pretty deep tight pocket.. and i guess I am happy and content to keep a throbbing, driving rythym.
I think it really depends on the music you are playing ... just throwing bass licks in to be heard is usually a sign of an inexprienced bottom feeder.
NOTHING shakes the room like a nice tight rythym.. the crowd BEGS for more every single time.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before (or I hope at least), but if you can't realize that someone can suck just as much on a 4-banger as they can a 7 or 8 string, you need to get learned some basics and real quick.
