Rexel Matador Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I prefer to identify as the latter. I don't know why. How about you? I'm genuinely curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryburke14 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I prefer bass player - IE someone who plays bass. I find bassist makes it sound as though its some sort of professiojln past a hobby, which for me it most certainly isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I don't even mind my bass being called a guitar. We get too precious about stuff that doesn't matter. No preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've become particularly fond of the term "bass guitar" of late. It doesn't get used in full enough.

I'm a decent bassist , but ,while I also play guitar to a reasonable standard, I'm definitely not a guitarist.

blue Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Iplay the electric bass guitar, I'm a bass guitarist. Bassist , I think that's more for someone playing jazz on the double or upright bass. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Don't mind real Genuinely not bothered either way. �� Me neither, it's s description not a definition. Although if I'm to be credited in print I prefer 'electric bass' - it just sounds cooler. Edited October 25, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
