   Couldn't say anything else other than carry on learning and dedicate yourself to it. There aren't enough good bass players nowadays!

	Play baritone guitar instead.

	I think he wants to pick up chicks, not old guys in powdered wigs. And the bass really does seem to have some mystical chick magnetizing powers. Of the top 5 rock stars who are alledged to have gotten the most ass at least 3 of them are bass players (Gene Simmons, Lemmy Kilmister, Bill Wyman). Seriously, of all the Rolling Stones members to get the most tail... it's Bill Wyman? Think about it. Edited by boo boo - February 04 2011 at 12:24

	Think about the number of bassist women. Indeed, a magnetic power...

	I don't know if you're being sarcastic but there ARE more bassist women in rock bands than guitarists or drummers it seems like. There was a time when a hot indie band HAD to have a girl bassist. I think it started with Talking Heads and caught on from there. Edited by boo boo - February 05 2011 at 06:42

	Oh no, I wasn't sarcastic (for once...). Back in the 90's, when I was a teenager, I noticed a strange thing with mixed bands: - if a band has 3 female members and one male member, this last one is the drummer: the Slits, the Breeders, the early L7, the Corrs... - if a band has 3 male members and one female member and that she's not the singer, this last one is the bassist: White Zombie, Telephone (very important French band), Talking Heads, Sonic Youth...

	Never ask for people's tips. Try to see your instrument through your eyes from your perspective, not from anyone else's.
