who here is bass-centered?

dobrazil	Date: June 3, 2005 @ 8:58 AM Hi everyone. Everyone seems multi-instrumentalist here. But who considers bass as his main instrument and priority? I do. Maybe we could talk a little about the consequences of this and stuff. Hear from ya all soon.
BlackMage	Date: June 3, 2005 @ 1:35 PM My main instrument really changes a lot. Depends really much on what I'm interested right then. I like to listen to a lot of Slayer now, so drums and guitar is the main thing now, but when I like some Dream Theater or other, bass is usually the way. Or maybe drums.

evansorchid	Date: June 4, 2005 @ 8:32 AM I'm a bit bassocentric. Last two actual live gigging bands I was involved with, I was the vocalist and bass player. So, I tend to keep my bass rifts relatively simple and tight with the drums. Zique from above is a really good bassist.

zedsalt	Date: June 16, 2005 @ 12:11 PM I've noticed that much of the time, if a band has a "musical director", an "arranger", etc., that person is also the band's "official" bassist.

shouhei	Date: September 13, 2005 @ 1:07 PM My main instrument is bass, but I play percussion (tablas) as well.
hate9wicket	Date: September 13, 2005 @ 7:14 PM I call myself a bassist, but try to play some guitar(both badly). The bass line is usually the first thing I work on, once I've gotten the loops arranged to fit the song in my head. But the bass is normally the easiest for me, everything else I have to take 3 or 4 whacks at before I'm satisfied with the track. My songs would go nowhere if I didn't have the bass part done in my brain before I hit the little red button.
mattbanx	Date: September 14, 2005 @ 2:21 AM I intended on playing bass as my sole instrument. But I could not play the type of stuff I wanted with just a bass, and I did not have the money to buy a bass besides a guitar. An acoustic was the first I had. And later an electric. The first instument I owned though was a keboard, given to me as a birthday gift. Even though I have not broken down and have bought a bass, I like my recordings to be bottom heavy. I'm thinking of purchasing a wood bass.
2step-4eva	Date: September 14, 2005 @ 8:48 AM i'm not a bassist, but bass is definately the most important ingridient in all my music - well, bass and drums.
Whiteboard	Date: September 23, 2005 @ 2:21 PM I'm a bassist.. In quite a few of my bands songs teh bass is definately the 'lead'..
WalkingStick	Date: December 1, 2005 @ 9:12 PM I play bass. drums. claronet. flute, kinda violin, kinda guitar, and kinda key board but yeah I'm definatly a bassist i mean come on how many bands do you know of that has two basses and no guitars?? Dave the WOlf Man
Vryl	Date: December 14, 2005 @ 9:07 PM sometimes i wished i was bassed centered...too late for that now lol
Vickxxx	Date: December 20, 2005 @ 8:26 PM When it comes to gigs and bands, I'm the bass player, solid and melodic. When it comes to recording, and depending on the song, bass is usually the last instrument I'll lay down....I hate steppin on other instruments and I like to work my bass melodies off the vocals and guitars or keys.
spooj	Date: December 21, 2005 @ 1:24 AM ID agree with the above for the most part..the bass "feels" like its the main instrument..the one i can relate to the most on a personal playing level..but in truth most of my work these days is keys and sequencing.. and id agree that i feed off the tracks for lines after wards..
Alexsy	Date: December 28, 2005 @ 9:05 PM some of my favorite musicians are bassists ... i play the guitar, but i definitely dig well-mixed, interesting basslines ...
100thmonk	Date: January 3, 2006 @ 10:22 PM bass is definitely what i play as my main instrument. it didn't start off that way, since i fancied myself a guitar player. but when a friend of mine suggested i play bass for a jazz band, my natural aptitude for the job became obvious to me, and since then i have been pursuing bass as if it were an extension of who i am. bass.. get it
