Describe your playing style

[tauzero]

Sometimes it's what the song needs, sometimes it's what I think the song requires. The song is in no position to dictate.

I generally play a reasonable approximation of the original, except when we're playing a song which has been covered by loads of people so we're taking the bits we like, when I get rather busy.

As the record

average

[WalMan]

Depends which band I'm playing with: the classic rock band, the prog rock band or the laid back originals band. Normally manage not to mix them up

Fumbling twathood. 😕
Seriously though... I'd say groove-driven. Pocket rather than flash. I'd rather drive the bus than jump over it on a motorbike.

Solid.

I take that as a compliment but probably not the most exciting descriptions!

A friend recently told me that he'd asked our (very good) lead guitarist what I was actually like as a bass player as he thought the band anyways sounded good but he didn't really know what to listen for as far as bass goes (basically a typical pub punter).
I actually thought our guitarist's response was really quite complimentary. He said that I'm "a very natural player".

I'll take that quite happily

asking a guitarist to comment on a bassist?

isnt that a bit like asking a fish about poetry?

Pino/Roscoe Beck wannabe.
