Would anyone care to name a notable gay bass player? I've been racking my brain but I can't think of any! (It is claimed that the homosexual male brain is more like the heterosexual female brain). Regarding the original topic, Me'Shell Ndegeocello may not be the best but she's certainly the baddest IMO. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generalising music based on a type, ie rock music, where it's still trying to break free of traditional male stereotypes. (given that traditional rock and roll music isn't even 100 years old) To prove my point, you only have to look at classical music and the amount of amazing female musicians that there are. That kind of puts the whole brain obsession theory out in the window i'd say. [quote name='alexclaber' post='395519' date='Jan 30 2009, 04:20 PM']Would anyone care to name a notable gay bass player?

Not trying to be a killjoy though. I have no problem with a thread of 'Prettiest bass players' or the fact that given the makeup of BC most of them would be female. That JJ Burnel was a bit of a fox though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
