No you don't. Bass is the best. When I was in a band back in the day, I got to switch off and play bass in one set. Bass is really fun to play. We had one song that started out with a guitar intro over six bars, and the bass held off. I used to watch people in the audience, and when I got to drop in on the seventh bar with the bottom end, people would start twitching involuntarily, then they'd break out dancing. It was an autonomic response when that bottom end dropped into their belly. Deep groove, baby. There's nothing more satisfying than riding that at the controls of a Fender Jazz Bass. You dont suck in Cafe Sensitivo, cause playing bass , and you .
Wow.
