Bass Players and Rock Band/Guitar Hero

[Biff]

I'm a guitarist and I can tell you that being a good bassist is more difficult than being a good guitar player. Now if you're a bass player in a band like "Blink 182" then you fit every stereotype out there and probably have little talent. However if you're a bass player in any blues or blues based band then you have to be good because they have to lay a foundation (along with the drums).

Bobby Dahl = mediocre
John Paul Jones = outstanding
