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.

oic...thats cool.

I play electric, many RHCP songs...alot of them are hard and thats why im sticking with just playing RHCP not many other bands.

I guess I rock then ")

Uh as for Chili Peppers: (keep in mind most of these I don't know every part, but most of it). I go earliest album up.

Higher Ground
Stone Cold Bush (including bass solo)
Walkabout
Give it Away
Suck My Kiss
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Sir Psycho Sexy (Which is in my opinion, their best song)
Throw Away Your Television
Can't Stop
Readymade
Storm in a Teacup

Keep in mind I'm a lot better at guitar, and recently started playing bass, so I can play many more RCHP on that (which I won't list off)

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.
