bobbass4k Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Never liked Bass Guitarist, indifferent to Bass Player, prefer Bassist. I also hate "Plays the Bass" too, not sure why, just hate "the" in that context, "Plays bass" is fine, just hate "The Bass" for some reason. Maybe I'm weird.

Lozz196 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 If talking to a musician, bassist. If talking to a non-musician, bass guitarist - if you say bassist, you just receive quizzical looks, and you can see that thought behind their eyes "whats that then?".

Doddy Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I prefer to be called a musician first. If I have to specify,I refer to myself as a bass player. I'd never say 'bass guitarist' as that is only part of what I do as a bass player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
