Seems this forum is mainly guitarists, so how many of you play bass as your main instrument?

I would give you shit for owning an Ibanez, but unfortunately its what I started on too
At least my one had the correct amount of strings....

Technically I kinda did too, except it was a 60's Tiesco P bass copy.

I used to be all over the bass, and if I was in a band I would be on bass. I find guitars more interesting, but bass more compelling to play in a band context.

I've always played guitar, but find myself really enjoying playing bass now. I think I'd be frustrated if I was playing bass in a band tho.

That came later. I used to use my ashdown bass head with my peavy 15inchbass cab for guitar. Sounded good to me at the time
