+433 Bassists are the most underappreciated part of bands, amirite?

SO TRUE! My band and I did a Bon Jovi song at a gig. A bunch of girls came up to me after and said 'OMG you're the Bon Jovi guy! That was SO awesome'. And I said 'Yeah, and this was the bassist.' and pointed to my friend. They just looked at him, said 'cool', then walked away.

Finally someone understands. But the cool part of being the bassist in an orchestra is that you stand out the most-considering you're standing in the middle of everyone's view holding a bigass instrument.

Bassist is usually the sexiest member of the band. Just sayin.

If you actually pay attention to bass it's pretty awesome so I agree. I play guitar and bass, and I happen to be very attracted to this one bass player friend of mine. He's the one who got me to appreciate bass more in the first place, and gave me my current bass. :)

Well some bass players now a days just stick to the root note of the chord the guitar player is playing so yes they do go unappreciated. But players like john Paul Jones, flea, and geezer butler will never be forgotten
