Bass players get a bad wrap. They're always the butt of the jokes and rarely see the spotlight. I heard a joke awhile back that proves the point. The joke goes like this: "If a women is sleeping with a bass player she's really not sleeping with anyone in the band." Unlike vocalists, guitar players and even drummers, bassists seem to get no respect. Or at least very damn little.

However there are exceptions like Cliff Burton, Les Claypool and Stuart Hamm. Get ready to add another name to the list...Stephen Cambell. This guy s amazing and plays bass like a lead guitar!
