In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there`s no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.
Les Claypool
I obsessively wanted to be in bands. I was probably fourteen when I got my first bass it was my friend`s brother`s, and we stole it. I was really into the idea that we could just play basement shows. The name of the first band was First Born, and it was t...
Pete Wentz
I eat the same things all the time: fish, hardly ever meat. Chicken, vegetables. I`m fond of steamed sea bass over leeks. I don`t drink hard liquor. I like wine.
Christopher Walken
On music: "Music is real; it`s something you can touch and feel. It moves you - the bass literally shakes you and rocks you from the inside. Music makes your soul feel amazing while you`re performing it. It`s not air, it`s not wind, it`s not anything like...
Bijou Phillips
I try to have people around me that are `born-to-be`s: I was born to be a bass player. I was born to be a front-of-house engineer. That`s my favorite kind of person to be around. Not someone who`s dabbling or semipassionate about it. This has got to be wh...
Keith Urban
I`ve never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I`ve always played with other musicians. It`s how I play, there`s no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, ...
Ringo Starr
With bass, especially bottom end, the vibration has to happen on stage otherwise the feel is wrong. This is why you can`t scale the equipment down too far.
John Entwistle
When I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.
Robert Wyatt
Well, it`s just always the same. It`s the same arrangements. It`s the same if I`m playing bass, if I`m playing guitar, if I`m playing piano.
Rick Danko
We view ourselves as folk artists first and foremost. The reason I play a one-string bass is to reference the old one-string washboard players ? the way we?re playing and our aesthetic is the same as theirs. It?s just the way we feel.
John Olson
We all found some big fish. I think you`ll see the record [of 8 pounds, 9 ounces for the biggest bass caught in the Classic] broken in the first 10 minutes.
Anita Whirley
This is my second bass that Paul built me. There were some changes that were made. Sometimes I think of changes that could be made having to do with both the sound and the feel. It`s definitely a beautiful instrument.
Mike Gordon
This is good information for monitoring, but we already alert people -- especially women, infants and children -- that bass is in the high category for mercury, ... These levels wouldn`t change our advisory.
Dave Stone
This has been months and months of fans being upset and frustrated and confused. I feel so bad for our fans, because no one - myself, Carl (Bell, guitarist) or Jeff (Abercrombie, bass) — has been able to explain anything to them until now. Now we can ac...
Brett Scallions
There were so many individuals and companies that were very instrumental in making this project happen in this short time span, said Scott Bass, director of Administrative Services, Glades County School District.
Mike Dunn
There are a lot of people who can do it on the guitar and sing at the same time, but I think what is harder is bass players that can play the bass and sing.

Then, as the day progresses, depending on how the product is coming in - for instance, the fish man will fax us and say black bass is great - throughout the day, we`ll also make judgment calls and adapt to what`s available.
Thomas Keller
The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that.
Waylon Jennings
The records were bound to fall. The Classic was moved from a summertime event to springtime in Central Florida where you are bound to find large bass in various phases of the spawning cycle.
Anthony Weaver
That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass, and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar.
