OK, time to get down to business. If you read the first post of this shiny new web-site, you may be asking yourself a few questions. Such as: “Who the hell is the Gigging Bass Player?” “What’s the point of this site, anyway?” “Why should I bother coming back?...

Hey you! Bass player! Yeah, you in the cover band. Do you realize you’re playing everything wrong? Do you even care? You’re getting paid, right? Would playing the songs correctly be too much to ask? It’s not that hard, really. Just spend some time listening to the bass part. Then ...

OK . . . this is going to piss off a few bass players, but I’m just going to say it: Bass is easy to learn. Come on bass players, let’s just admit it to ourselves and everyone else. The bass guitar really wasn’t that difficult to figure out, was it? Unlike guitar players, who ha...

I’ve been lurking around various bass guitar discussion forums for quite a few years, and one thing is very clear: There’s a whole lotta bass snobbery going on out there. I don’t know if this kind of snobbishness exists in other circles. But in the bass world, it’s everywher...

Ugh. I just checked out my gig calendar and realized I haven’t played a gig since June 12 and won’t play another until August 14. That’s more than two months without playing.  This ‘Gigging Bass Player’ is NOT gigging right now. Not cool. Lucky for me, I don’t d...

I’ve been playing bass for a long time — since I was 14. I’ve been playing gigs for almost as long. I haven’t kept count, but there have been a lot of them. Most of those gigs have been OK. Some have been kind of crappy. And some have been downright shitty and made me questi...
