Things bassists LOVE!

1. The fact that people respect a great bassist more than a great guitarist
2. The the rumble off a cranked up bass amp
3. Showing people your blood blisters after a really intense gig and getting shocked looks.(One time blood burst all over my string and I didn't even notice till I looked down to tune my bass lol)

The low frequencies that not only get heard, but are felt.

I would rather hear the lowest of pitches, then the highest of pitches.

I do not need six strings to get the job done.
