It's really hard for me to sing and play bass.

I realized pretty soon that I have to do more than just play bass in the background way. So, I developed a kind of playing which only a handful of musicians accepted.

I love playing bass. It's mostly what I play in Divine Fits.

I played a lot of keyboards, but I really wanted to produce the sound that was in my head that I was trying to emulate on the keys. I wanted to do it for real. And it makes me look at the keys in a different way. So it's like I'm looking at the guitar and bass more like meat and potatoes and keys like coloring over top of it, you know.

I play bass. I don't have to go out there and screech.

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

I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to, and that's what I tend to write toward.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.

Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it's just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who's so creative on the drums, and lately it's been really good, especially during sound checks.
