we had to practice a few songs with my old "school band", just covers that we already knew.
The bassplayer said (we practiced after our lessons, in the school) that he had to take a shit,
so 15 minutes later, he came back and said he lost his bass on the way...
A few months later, we practiced again, kicked the bass player and the second guitar player
said, that he's going to play bass, I said, sure, if he want's to.
They all knew that I play bass since a few years, but they all wanted him to play bass because
I was the better guitar player (and I suck) so, we had our first rehearsal, the second guitar player
arrived, I asked him where his bass was "I have no bass" WHAT?!
Yeah, he thought he just plays single notes on the low strings and turn the bass up and the treble
down...
The other guys in the band had no problem with it and said, that bass doesn't matter (we were
covering chili peppers songs for example), that was the moment I left the band, it was even better
with the old shitty bassplayer.
