what "schools" of bass playing are there?

[Sam Sherry]

Joel, one of my major bugs online is, "Please research my paper for me." That certainly goes double for your masters thesis!

So please pardon me for being The Cranky Guy but I think you ought to conduct academic research instead of asking e-figments for random opinions.

That said and meant, good luck with your masters studies and I hope the project turns out to be more enjoyable than you expect.
