Bass players are always the intellectual kind, but nobody knows it.
I actually think that bass is probably the instrument that has evolved in a quantum leap compared to other instruments. It's the instrument that's evolved the most, especially with how it's perceived. And even how it's played, and how it's viewed from a point of view of commerce, like with the music industry.
After all my years of doing instrumental music I still like just a simple instrumental song with a nice catchy melody and an opportunity to play a solo over a harmonic structure.
You can disseminate your art, and it's all such easy access now. The upside to it is that more people are creating than ever before.
I really like sometimes to do action pictures; I get a really big kick out of doing those.
