Let me tell you that a bassist is someone who learns their instrument, perfects technique, and CAN WOW people from time to time. ON A BASS
A lot of players todays are just that.... Players.
bass is the cop out string instrument
My definition is the least paid, least appreciated, most expendable, and least heard person in a band. Bands today don't really need a bassist due to guitar compressions and technology but choose to to make the rest of the band look better, plus its cheaper than buying fancy guitar effects and technology. Take it from someone who THOUGHT bass was cool and wasted 12+ years learning it just to have my recording levels lowered beyond belief and my songs taken credit for.

there are no reasons to name great bassists because there are none, and there is NO SUCH THING AS A LEAD BASS!

Get the bassist mug.Someone who plays the bass. They have no friends because they play the bass. And they often have a little tub.(fat) Everything bad should be blamed on them because they aren't good for anything. They also eat everything in sight.
You can say you're going to raise a bear cub and tell yourself that it won't eat everything but in the end the bassist eats everything.
Wow what a bassist move.
wait, do you play the bass? because that was retarded.

Get the bassist mug.Actual meaning: Someone who plays bass.
My opinion on some bassists:
Some bassists try to take control of everything and whine if they dont get their own way. The reason is that because they learn lots of different scales, modes, arpegios etc.. and they think they are musical geniouses because they no all these and try to use them in each note, when really its so easy to play scales on the bass. They dont realise that on guitar scales are far more complex and envolve more technique as well as linking them to even more complex chords etc..
Whiney Bassists need to learn that they are not master musicians just because they no some very simple scales.
