One of the best most melodic bassists I have ever seen was playing a bassoon. He was a friend of mine and my accountant as well as a fellow church musician. He could play by sight reading, sing like a bird and learned drums as well.
He later bought a bass guitar and asked if I could advise with teaching books etc,
I asked him why he wanted to learn bass guitar when his bassoon playing was so beautiful. He said "ralph to be honest your beautiful melodic bass playing makes me feel inadequate"
That made me cry and it still does leave me fighting back the tears as I write this today. I had felt the same about him.
Moments like that don't come too often in life.
