How many guitarists in here also play bass?

[BigBadBrian]

Just curious.

[BigBadBrian]

Shit.

Maybe I should have put this in Gear Street.

:confused:

[Hardrock69]

LMAO!

Goober.

I do. Been playing guitar for 35 years, bass for 30.

[indeedido]

I do also. Been playing since I was 14. That was 21 years ago! I felt after starting guitar, that if I played bass too, it would give me a more rounded knowledge of music and the instruments both.

[Hardrock69]

I started because I was invited to join my first band in 1978, and they needed a bassist.

Been playing ever since.

Count me in...

This bass man likes to strum a Gretsch on occasion.

As for guitar players playing bass, sure they can. But the question is, do they sound like a guitar player playing bass?

[RuzDNailz]

To be a converted guitar player can have various results. I had to learn the bass clef for a bit, then to go treble clef and learn that. If you can switch successfully between guitar and bass, then all the power to ya. Going from being part of the band front to being the backbone never happens overnight. But for some, it's happened!

I play a truly bad disco bass line every now'n'then...
