spinynorman Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Typical guitarist ... "bought the bass about a year ago when I decided to get back into a band in a bass playing role because [b]I couldn't commit the time to take on the guitarist position[/b]" [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200598624361&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 of course bass takes less time than guitar - it's only got 4 strings innit? Actually it's a good job it takes less time to set up and tune, after all, if we weren't the consumate professionals that we are, who would set up the PA?

[/quote] He does say that the band he was playing bass for folded due to "musical differences". I wonder if that was along the lines of "I can play bass" - "Oh no you can't".
