What to do la bro?? The bassist will always be viewed upon as the lead guitarist wannabe. The mentality has been like that for a very long time. I remembered when I picked up the bass long time ago, some of my friends said that its a no brainer instrument as we, bassist have to deal with 4 strings, pluck one string for a note whereas the guitarists have to deal with 6 strings, deal with solos, chords and an array of gadgets to have that perfect sound. I nearly whacked my bass guitar at this group of friends!
Where have all the bassists gone??

i think, yeah, it's a problem, but i also think it is meant to be that way. the bass is a special instrument and it takes a special kind of person to play it. sort of an 'acquired skill'

A bass guitar is like a really awesome girl who you took for granted.
You don't apreciate it unless it's not there
I feel your pain bro we bassists are a dying breed !
I played a show this sunday with 2 other bands, and both the bands had "makeshift" bassists i.e. guitarists who played bass because they wanted to be in the band. When I asked them if this affected their performance, they replied "Who cares ? It's only the bass ! Anyone can fill in !"
I was 10 seconds from twatting the fool over his head :x

Nowadays I felt Drummers are also becoming extinct like us Bassist. Its so hard to find a suitable drummer.
wow i know the pain of not being able to to find a solid bass player. been looking for a couplea months now. good, available metal bassists are really hard to come by these days. some1 with a killer tempo and some1 who's able to like stick to a drummers pedal work. itll be awesome if anybody can groove well with the drums.

Its true people take up bass for the wrong reason.
I heard of this girl who took up bass because she thought pete wentz was hot.

wrong can be right, cos time will tell whether she'll work on the bass or continue her crush with pete.

It all depends on individual. Passion is needed to play low notes on the Bass Clef.
