That being said, and having been around and listened to Trujillo I'm not really interested in anything he's done or how he might contribute to my own thing.
I'm glad Metallica gave him something to do, though. I don't like what I've heard nor followed them since, either.Comment

Yes, you DO play differently. You play your cardboard cutout guitar rather badly, and you expect people to take you seriously, and when they do not (and rightly so, you fucking loser) you get mad and throw a temper tantrum. Typical for someone like yourself with the mentality of a 2-year-old.Comment

I'm trying to think of a menacing bass player. I hear even Lemmy is nice.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

A good bass properly set up is no harder to play than a good guitar. People make too much out of the size of the strings. I find it harder to play certain chords on a six string than the chords I play on my bass. The big difference is wattage needed. Where 100 watts is plenty with a guitar is not enough for bass. Shit my bass practice rig is 250 watts and my guitar practice amp is 10.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I have two basses strung with Dean Markley medium light guage strings and they are very easy to play. I have very strong hands though. It's all in the setup up. Some bases do feel like they are strung with cable.
As far as power requirements go, bass frequencies take more power because the speaker has to move farther. It's all electromagnetics. The bigger the magnet and the farther the cone has to move, the more power the amp has to put out.
This is true for stereos and PA's as well. Most your power is going towards producing the bass frequencies.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The key to playing fast, tricky bass is to relax. If you approach it like a monster you aren't going to be as efficient as just relaxing, using proper technique, and using the kinetic energy. Kind of what a drummer does in a way. Play like a monster will wear you out quick. It's all in the technique. You can look like a monster and sound like a monster but in reality, it's not as hard as it looks. But I'm more of a natural bass player than a guitar player. I'm more comfortable with the big strings and spacing than I'm with the smaller strings. I think it takes as much hand strength to play certain chords on a guitar as it does to play the bass. Everyone seems to gravitate to their natural instrument and for me it's the bass for whatever reason. Some bass players think playing guitar is harder and some guitar players thing playing bass is harder. I can play both but if I play bass with a pick, it fucks up my guitar playing, so there are all these mental things you have to work out.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

How about McCartney's early Beatle's licks, some are pretty ferociously difficult?
John Paul Jones? Doesn't the name alone bring to mind several songs with intricate dynamics?
Geezer? Geddy? Cmon.. anybody good on bass is easy to name. Basses are not guitars, that's my point as they're not easy to play well.
Robert DeLeo? I used to see that guy practice licks behind the counter working for MesaBoogie store, just savagely plunking away unplugged. That guy's fantastic.
I'd have loved to find a player who would be open to doing no-money, but no pay-to-play either type gigs.. who could at least tune the instrument, lug his own gear with at least 300 watts back in the day but it didn't happen okay..Comment

Lemmy plays bass like an acoustic guitar, that's why in his 45-year career he's never become an A-level artist.
He strums the thing with his open fist.. wow, yeah you're correct - what a dynamic, dedicated riffmaster on the 4-stringer that one is huh..Comment

Oh ye of little reading comprehension, they meant menacing as people...
Robert Deleo IS fantastic. One of the best bassists of the last generation.
If they're indeed out there (and they are), they probably won't work with dudes into coming off like a*holes at every available opportunity...y'know, dudes like you. Just sayin'.Originally posted by conmee

The thing about bass is if you make a mistake, it's obvious and everyone hears it. Not the best instrument to fuck up on. What's nice is good bass players are always in demand so you never have a problem finding a band to jam with.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
