Umm I think you misinterpreted my comment. I said I wasn’t trying to be insulting, I meant that. Just making an observation.
I was not trying to be insulting, sarcastic or snarky, ok maybe a little sarcastic, but nothing derogatory towards you.
As far as bass players go, the one who taught me to run a lathe was one of the best machinists in the Houston area, and ran a cnc mill, did the programming too, the one in the band I’m retiring from now is also an excellent keyboard player, and far from what I would consider “dumb”, so no, I don’t automatically have that opinion of bass players...
WHat instrument youplay has nothing to do withyour intelligence level, quite teh contrary, in general musicians and artistically inclined individuals tend to be a bit more inteligent than average. Personality may be a little different. I’ve heard many people say drummers are flaky and keyboard players are just plain weird...your mileeage may vary...
