Teaching myself bass guitar...

Misereatur:
Absolutely.

That was the worst post we've had here in a while.

What them two ^ said.

Bass is awesome. I started out on piano, then migrated to guitar, and finally to bass. And after about 10 years of playing in various bands on and off I finally think I'm maybe beginning to get the hand of what playing bass might be all about. It's that moment when you and the drummer lock eyes for a moment and acknowledge that baby, the two of you got a groove thang goin' on, ohhh yeah, and that's what makes it all worthwhile.

Of course, if you're playing with a shitty drummer, it's no fun at all.

Mars:
Me too!

I play guitar and piano in addition to bass. I do so because I'm interested in all three instruments. One or the other may get more lovin' in the short-term, but if I thought any of them were boring I wouldn't play them

Bass can be boring. If you're one of those bassists who only plays 1-5-1 ad nauseum, you'll probably get bored. If that's the case, you're doing it wrong.

Listen to some Geddy Lee/Jaco Pastorius/Flea/Lemmy/your-bass-hero-of-choice to discover how unboring bass can be.
