But you've said many times that you don't consider yourself to really be a bassist! :P :mrgreen: :lol:

I'm a bassist. I can play guitar. Though I haven't had or played a guitar in a while, so I don't think there is anyone on the planet that would want to hear me play a one.
That's why I said I suppose. You guys keep telling me I can play very well............... :lol: :lol: :lol: Make up your mind will ya? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Okay, you do play bass well, but you're a guitar player at heart. :D

It took me ten minutes to decide to tick both :lol: .....................and yes even though I play bass every day (because I am hooked), I am a guitar player first. :mrgreen:

Well, I don't have TV, so I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. But then, I've never had to worry! :mrgreen:

My bass strings are plenty long and nice and thick! :lol: :lol:
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

It's interesting that currently there is an even split (16-16) between bass and guitar with everyone else (24) thrown into the both category.

It's neck and neck. The suspense is killing me. ;)

Well then, bass will probably win because their necks are longer.

Guitar for me, although I can play workman-like bass.

Wow this reminds me of the old "Mary Ann or Ginger" conundrum! I own and play both but my bass skills lag far behind my guitar skills.
Here's my Bass resume, I play with a pick and I thought that Palm Mute was the latest rage in Cell Phones! :D
