Nobody wants to play bass??

like seriously, nobody wants to play bass..why? k, i came over here, n went for OCF (overseas christian fellowship) n tell ppl that i play bass, n the first thing they say is, "WOW! u noe there is a shortage of bassists here" n im thinking to myself, "again?" back home in church, there was a shortage as well, n that led me to pick up the bass..k, there is actually a lot of ppl who play bass in church, but most of them play another instrument as their first instrument..bass is just a back up..to my knowledge, there is 3 ppl who play bass as their 1st instrument..at least i think..

i really dont get why ppl just dont want to play bass..is it that boring? i dont think so..k, maybe ppl dont see the significance of playing bass..honestly, if u only had 2 instruments to pick for ur band, u pick the guitar and d bass or maybe d keyboard n drums..cuz d bass provides the beat for d song..n to me, the bass also provides the energy to a song, it has a very indirect affect to a song..a strong affect..a song can sound empty if the bass doesnt play..

im not sure la..ppl like always want to play an instrument that is a little more glam..like, d guitar, cuz it gives d tune of the song..haha..crap, lost track of wat im saying..but yea, bass isnt that bad..thats all im trying to put out..its not JUST BASS..

cheers
