Bass player, I've been playing live since 95. I've been playing sold out shows since 96. 4,5,6 strings, it does not matter. 3 and 4 finger technique, single and double slap, two hand tap. I'm 41, no dope or drink. I'm not doing this to waste time, get involved with primadonna nonsense or LSD, [lead singers disease]. You wanna jam, I'll jam. You want to make excuses go bother someone else.
