I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass.

I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.

I play bass. I play a bit of guitar. I've never been to a lesson, so my theory of music is non-existent in any instrument, but we always had guitars around.

I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.

At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.

From the first moment that I can remember, I had identified myself as a bass player and it had everything to do with my father, who was a bass player. And he loved music, you know, as much as anybody I've ever seen. And that dynamic I just thought as somehow was a straight pass to me.

Bass guitar is the engine of the band.

A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.

I actually think that bass is probably the instrument that has evolved in a quantum leap compared to other instruments. It's the instrument that's evolved the most, especially with how it's perceived. And even how it's played, and how it's viewed from a point of view of commerce, like with the music industry.

I still don't really feel like a bass player.
