I don't know much about music theory at all. To immediately give my answer to the question in the topic, I say, no, you do not need to know music theory to write, play and perform well on an instrument. I would add that I assume knowing theory would add to your knowledge of music and that can only be a good thing. My own area of theoretical knowledge relates to Literature, and I can approach a text from a variety of angles I'd never have imagined, had I not been trained at university so to do. I would most likely enjoy and benefit from a greater knowledge of music theory, but I have only so much time left to devote to any hobby/interest, so l'll continue to enjoy my amateur status and see myself as a bass player rather than a musician.

Hello to you and welcome. Hope you enjoy yourself on Basschat. I'd suggest you get straight into the various threads available and you'll see what's going on and what folk are like. Best wishes
