Why I Play Bass - The Book

[JAUQO III-X]

Why I Play Bass by Martin Simpson.

This is a book from South African bassist Martin Simpson. This book has pretty much every bass player there is in it (myself included).

A very nice show of appreciation for the instrument that we love.

Very nice find! It lets you dwelve into the basic motivations behind the choice of instrument for a variety of musicians.

I've read through a few pages, and it already made me seriously ponder why I gravitated towards the bass after guitar, without even trying it before. I didn't go for the drums or the keyboard, but right to the bass. Maybe it was the "mechanical" similarities between the two instruments, but I now believe there was something else. Might even call it destiny or something crazy like that, because I've no intention of leaving the low end any time soon.

Thanks for sharing, OP.
