are bass players really musicians? Wtf? of course we are- you ever tried playing bass- or any other instrument for that matter? bass is hard as crap if you listen to halfway decent music and you got to really have strength to play bass- if you give a regular guitarist a bass he'll have some trouble because he won't be use to pushing it down...bass is fun though

How does one play the bass if he didn't know music?

They buy Phil Soussan' Bass video and put fret dots all over their instrument. I'm not sure how they learn to tap their toe tho!

Ummm. Let me think about the original question. In short, the answer is no. In long, the answer is still no.
Quick Joke:
How do you tell if the stage is level?
Drool comes out both sides of the bass players mouth.

Of course bassists are musicians, idiot. Anyone that plays music, be it in some small town club or live on MTV, whether it be solo guitar or tamborine, he or she is a musician.
BTW, it's kinda funny that you ask this, because I am getting a bass for my birthday, and the reason I'm in a band with my friends is because they thought I was 'musical'.

Bass is not just a rock 'n' roll thing it is an important part of Classical music and Acapella as well as other styles. It also adds to the low frequency of the music spectrum, making it sound complete. So those of you who think bass players are not musicians just try to listen to a few "NON MUSICIANS" like Jaco Pastorius, Mark King, Stanley Clarke, John Patitucci, Abraham Laboriel. Geddy Lee, Nathan East..... and you will learn.

try playing the following...
J.A.R. by Green Day
Santeria by Sublime
Tom Sawyer by Rush
Michael Anthony's Bass solo on Live-without a net (Van Halen)
then ask yourself the original question again
chalk up another YES vote :-)

I would have to say a definitive YES. And true talent comes in the form of Geddy Lee who plays bass yet sings lead vocals (melody) simultaneously.
The real (or is that reel) question should be, "Is bass fishing really a sport?"

well, asking if bass playersa and drummers are real musicians. Following that logic, I'll have to start a thread on if guitarists are real musicians
