Name 10 bass players...

[TimR]

[Lozz196]

Flea

Er, Flea

I think they might stop there

McCartney, Wyman… er…

Sting

John Entwistle

Paul McCartney

Gene Simmons?

Suzi Quatro

The bloke with the beard who plays with Phil Colins. (Lee Sklar)

You’ve overdone it by about 6 Tim 👍

They couldn't.

Missed Wyman. He'd score highly on Pointless.

[Beedster]

Blu De Tiger

 

See what I did there 👍

[Reggaebass]

I’d say most people probably wouldn’t know any

True, most people don't know the difference between a bass guitar and a normal guitar 

[tegs07]

That Ken bloke from Bros?

[BreadBin]

They couldn't. The average person on the street couldn't give 2 poops.

Ask 10 musos though, as they are people who actually care about music, and you might get a different answer.

Also - and this might shock some of you, they might even name some of the loads of women making an impact in music. Awesome, talented women in all fields and genres. They can wear what they like, call themselves what they like and what we should be doing is being cool and supportive, not being a bunch of old men shouting at clouds.

I'm bored of sausage parties.
