You know, I could just be a bassist and never have to put effort into anything again.

Then why don't all bass players sound as good as (or close to) Vic Wooten? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm asking fer serious

[forgoodforall]

Because they don't need to!

You can make a career being a very mediocre bassist if you get in the right group, and bassists being in high demand, that's much easier than for vocalists, drummers, and guitarists.

I get what you're saying. Yeah.

It's kind of like big fish in a little pond. If you're auditioning to All-State on trombone you have a MUCH higher chance of getting in than if you are auditioning on flute. It's numbers. I get it, I get it.

Yep! And also the fact that most people don't pay enough attention to bass in rock music for it to matter. Gospel and funk it matters a lot more.
