Any other bassists in here?

If so, how long have you been playing, and what bass do you have? I've got a Fender Squier p-bass, cherry colored. Pics later.

I play a Fender Jazz (red) and I've been playing for about 6 years. I'm really only a casual player these days, but I use to play it quite a lot when I was younger. These days I just crank up the distortion and play slow, dirty, crushing strums for 10 minutes, then play some more.

I had an Ibanez 5 String that I got after graduating high school, but I sold it. Wish I hadn't. I might get another within a couple years.

I've been playing bass for a short period of time, sort of got forced into it. Don't know the type, seeing as it's not mine

but it's red \/

Oh, you mean like the seinfeld theme? You dick.

I've been playing bass for more than five years. I have a squire P that I've mutilated, an Ibanez cheapo, and a gretsch short scale that I recently purcahsed. Fun as hell.

All my friends are bass players.. You'd expect there to be more guitar players then bass, but I only know of 2 other guitar players (besides me) at my school.. Guitar is dying omg!

Seriously though, bass is cool, if I could get one for cheap I'd go for it. And all of you better be finger pickers, no picks for basses.

I cannot stand picks. I play with my index nail for the most part. I guess my nail is my pick.

People who don't know about bass aren't thinking of primus when they talk about slap bass. It's irritating.

Anyway, yeah, bass players seem to be a dime a dozen nowadays. It makes finding drummers difficult....er.

Les Claypool is the first guy that comes to mind when you say 'bass'
