Bass Player Quotes

My brother Carl taught me how to play bass. I’m a self-taught keyboard player, though - I figured out our harmonies at the piano Picture Quote #1

I still don’t really feel like a bass player Picture Quote #1

A lot of other bass players have told me I’m the only bass player who plays with a pick but sounds like he’s playing with the thumb and fingers, which is a great compliment Picture Quote #1

I was always the sexy bass player in the background while Robin stood centre. Barry and I played it up a bit, gave ‘em a bit of thigh Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have a favorite bass player. I listen to a lot of bluegrass. But then again, I’m not a typical bluegrass bass player. I was really into the Grateful Dead, and I still am - I don’t listen to them too much, but for me they are a big influence Picture Quote #1

Without getting real personal, we liked our bass player Ed. He was a great guy and he was a good bass player but his playing was suited for a different style of band Picture Quote #1

As I said, when we needed to move over to rock’n’roll, Sam and Vernon couldn’t quite make the shift. So that’s when Larry took over on drums, and we needed a bass player Picture Quote #1

I knew when I got to play with Al Jackson I would be a better bass player because he was the best drummer in the world. I worshipped him Picture Quote #1

My very first gig was with the Sex Pistols, and it was also our first-ever gig. It was a very short set, and it was at Saint Martins College of Art in 1975. We were opening up for a band called Bazooka Joe, and their bass player at the time was Adam Ant, who went on to form Adam and the Ants Picture Quote #1

I’ve been in a band, so I understand the politics. Sometimes the bass player doesn’t like what the guitar player is doing, and you have to sort of even that out Picture Quote #1

Hendrix was the bass player for Little Richard. We were both left-handed, but we would use a right-handed guitar held upside down and backwards. He developed my slides and my riffs. In fact he used to say, and this is documented, ‘I patterned my style after Dick Dale.’ Picture Quote #1

In general, we like to play as a band - guitar, piano, and voice. We also tour with a bass player, a drummer, and somebody who plays keyboard and guitar. We try to play all of our parts and flesh it out to get a lush sound, while also keeping the energy of a three-piece punk act. We want to be the best of all possible worlds Picture Quote #1

At the time, I didn’t know that bass would not be enough for me. I’m not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day Picture Quote #1

I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I’d love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn’t me, it wasn’t my name Picture Quote #1

I love my music, so I want to produce, write, and serve my music. I’ve had to learn about EQ frequencies and programming and space and clutter and how to be a better piano or bass player - everything Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been the DJ or the bass player or the drummer, somebody in the background. I don’t think anybody who knows me personally would say that I’m particularly shy or introverted, but I’m definitely not like Mr. Attention Picture Quote #1

I picked up ‘The Hunger Games’ thinking it was written at my regressed reading level. I’ve spent hours reading it, and I’m not even halfway through. Our bass player, whose name is also Nate, ended up reading all three novels and loved them Picture Quote #1

I decided to build a studio in my house. We built it in my basement kitchen. I had the drummer up by the fish tank. I was in the toilet singing. The bass player was out by the shelves in the living room, and the guitarist was on the couch by the telly Picture Quote #1

When I produce a record, I roll up my sleeves; I’m not one of those passive guys. I really get in there and make sure every note is measured. I tell the bass player, ‘You have to play it like this,’ or I tell the drummer, ‘It’s got to be like this.’ Picture Quote #1

The absence of a bass player always makes things go faster and hit harder in the high-end range Picture Quote #1

I was charmed by a performance given by Crowded House at Toronto’s Massey Hall where the bass player broke a string Picture Quote #1

I love playing with Jeff. That’s something I never really say in the press, but he’s my favorite bass player. I’ve played right next to him for 10 years Picture Quote #1
