i woke my woman up last week. Honey, I have good news and bad news. The good news is, I just sold a longterm $600 website deal. The bad news is that I bought a $600 bass. Now go back to sleep.

I thought you bought a guitar. The bass barely qualifies as a instrument.

Bass guitar player = failed lead guitarist

You got that right. I can still pretty much pwn any lead guitarist I jam with on improv leads. But when it comes down to putting the time, money, and mental effort into it, guitar is a huge committment. On bass, you can just get the verse/chorus/bridge chords, and boom, you can play the song live by keeping with the kick and paying attention. On guitar, that'd be 30 min of tabbing and tone. On bass, you can get shit drunk and jump around live and never worry about anything. and gear? whew. my whole bass setup is like 1500. You spend that on a amp head for guitar. of course, bassists are like the 4th in line to hook up, dammit...

OR you could write your own songs, stick with a signature tone, and make millions. The current American music scene proves that you only need the musical talent of a retarded monkey to go platinum. All you need is an image. Oh, and not be ugly as sin.
