When you get compliments on your playing

[Owen]

A drummer friend of mine said that I put the beat in a sexy place.

Hmmmmm........

The role of bassist is hugely misunderstood, often overlooked, and generally speaking less recognized than that of many other more visable members of a band. However, when offered a compliment, consider it an offering of thanks, and a kind response is natural and considerate as would be in a natural exchange between two folks. When the opportunity has arisen the other way around, where I've been in the giving end of the compliment, I have usually offered these words, "thanks for the music, it's really special and has meant so much."

Overhead at a venue where I was playing tonight:

'Who's on tonight?'

'Kevin McEwan and he's got that young girl with him on bass'

Young girl!!! Whoop whoop, made my night :-)

I once had the drummer from one of the bands on the same bill shout out, mid set " I love your playin mate, your like Entwhistle - you just dont give a f***"
I'm still not sure if it was a compliment or not.
