hmmm...

i live in new england.

i play bass in the heuristic.

i also tend to agree with anonymous, to a point. there isnt an iconic "bass dude" right now to get little billy into anything more complicated than tool. and while rhythmically complex, it isnt fucking rocket science to figure those guys out.

however (and listen up, shitty guitar players relegated to bass detail) there is hope. while easier to get into playing off the wall stuff listening to primus, mr. bungle and their ilk, it isnt a necessity. there is an amazing variety of innovative music to draw inspiration from. THINK OUTSIDE THE FOUR STRINGED BOX. listen to stuff like battles, hella, enemymine, fiesel, and psyopus to get new ideas and direction. the lack of innovative bass playing is a huge part of the plateau metal seems to be sitting on right now.
