A bassist or bass player is either the most revered or most 
pitied member of a musical group, depending on the genre. 
Because of the wide range of music types that utilize the 
bass, and the varying amount of talent required to be 
successful within each, bass is a highly desirable instrument 
for players of all levels. Alongside drummers, bassists are 
often the most accomplished musicians within a band, or an 
unemployment benefits queue.

Who says guitar playing chicks get all the chicks.

 People don't think twice when they see the bassist lurking 
near the rear of the stage, behind the singer or guitarist. Or 
drummer. In fact, no one thinks twice when there's no sign of 
a bassist, because he's expertly camouflaged himself to blend 
in with the wall draping. For a bassist, its not only socially 
acceptable to be a wallflower, but in some situations-it's 
downright encouraged. One less ego makes for a lot more room 
on the front stage. However, backstage - after the show - you 
can still tell the girls you're "with the band" and cross your 
fingers.{{tip|right|Watch out for lame roadies borrowing your 
equipment and pretending to be "with the band" in order to 
score with the groupies. Your chances are slim enough without 
the extra competition.}Interesting note: In the Rolling Stones 
bassist Bill Wyman banged more chicks than all the rest of the 
band put together. Know why? That's right bassist...}
