You can always hide behind the lead singer or the bass player.  (Bass Guitar Players Quotes) 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.  (Bass Guitar Players Quotes) There are a lot of people who can do it on the guitar and sing at the same time, but I think what is harder is bass players that can play the bass and sing  (Bass Guitar Players Quotes) A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else  (Bass Guitar Players Quotes)
