I'm not really insulting bass players, it's just a joke.
Personally I think bass players get way too much sh*t from people. I hate the bullsh*t mentality of "the bass player is doing something wrong, I can hear him".
One thing that bores me with so much modern music is how predictable it is, the guitar is the star and there's not as many stand out musicians in the rhythm department because when drummers and bassists really try to get involved in the music, it's considered wankery, just sh*t the f*ck up and do your f*cking job or I'll cut your f*cking d*ck off and shove it down your throat, that's the modern day rock band mentality. It's rather fascist.
Woody Guthrie was full of sh*t, the guitar
creates fascists.
"Ensemble" bands don't really exist anymore, it's all about the singer and guitarist, nobody gives a f*ck about the rhythm section.
Also bass playing chicks <3
