Do you play an instrument, if so what do you play?
And what made you pick that particular instrument?

American Fender Jazz Bass.
I was an OK guitarist, but a lot of bassists picked up that instrument because they wanted to be in a band and with four strings it was easy to thump away. I took a different tact, and my band shined in college. After graduating and coming back for a weekend, one of my old bandmates exclaimed, "Chuck! You've got to check this out. This guy stole your riffs!" That guy was Les Claypool of Primus.

@IronHamster I love the bass. It’s the heartbeat of the band with the drums.

@Oneofthestormboys Played right, it's also the melody and the harmony.

@IronHamster feel like i need to be asking you for lessons

@Mellowgirl learn everything you can. I tweaked my gear to play how it worked best for me. My action was as low as possible. Get the best pickups you can afford. Learn to play guitar riffs and chords. Learn slapping for that white boys doing funk sound. Have fun.
