I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.

A good bassist determines the direction of any band.

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

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.

Because nobody wanted to play bass, I was instantly in a band.

I always got great respect as a bass player.

I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands.

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

I set myself up to be a bass guitarist and bass players get a lot more work than people like me.

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. My dad taught me to play drums for 'Love Actually,' and I still play drums now. But I'm not a 'drummer.' I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.
