lol bass has nothing to do with fish...dont know why i put that there. anyways.
how many people here play bass (electric or acoustic)...and how many people here know any RHCP songs?
this is all just a weird question that came to me today.

I'm a bass and guitar player, but i play electric bass for my band.
I don't know any Red Hot Chili Peppers, haven't really tried to learn anything from them.
You should try playing Tool.
The bass player, Justin Chancellor, is amazing and most of their songs are focused on him.

I play bass, guitar, piano, sax, etc.
I'm one of those annoying people who can pretty much listen to a song a tell you the chord progression, and in some cases play on my first try by ear.

I play both Bass and Electric, but mostly electric. I like to play a lot of RATM on my bass though.
