Who likes basses?

Is there anyone here who enjoys a good bass guitar and/or playing the bass in general? :bassist:

Well, you winked when you posted that, so I'll take it to mean you want us to start the new year on a positive note. Therefore:

Yeah, man, I LOVE bass. I was watching a Bon Jovi concert in hi-def last night and noticed I could read the name on the bassist's instrument. It was a Sadowsky Metro Hybrid P/J 5. Love that HD, I could see the knob positions. I don't know how they mixed/recorded/re-recorded the sound from that concert, but you could clearly hear that bass on every song (I was watching his hands to make sure it wasn't an overdub :D ). I'm the guy who turns up the bass in the car, who watches the bass player on stage (especially if it's a "she" :hyper: ) and who goes straight to the bass section of all music instrument stores.
I like bass.
I like catfish, too. And salmon.
 
I don't really like them. I only play it because it's easier than guitar. I lay down some blistering solos on my Rogue. I fart thunder and crap lightning, which is amazing since I've only been playing for 2 months. It must be true, cause everyone in town tells me that. I play 4 string because I don't see the point in having any more than that.

Ignore my sig line
