No affence to bassist i love some bassist some of them are reali good but well i carnt reali say coz iv tryed most instruments but the bass, but it looks kinda simple 2 me?? well compared to other instruments?
that is the most biased statement people make about the bass.
any good guitar player will tell you a guitar player has to learn bass to truly play it right.
with the bass nothing is harder than slapping sixteenth notes and popping at the same time.
if your listining to most rock the bass won't be that impressive and highlighted.
if you realy want to hear bass listen to jaco pastoroius or marcus millar and those are just a few.
takes this for an example.
victor wooten uses his thumb also a pick.
he don't need a pick cause he can down stroke and upstoke with his thumb.
and trust me,playing bass isn't easy and you know why?
you always meet someone naive whether it be a druken bar hopper or a shred guitarist who says "isn't the bass pretty easy"?
Or when your playing and they keep turning you down and eventualy someone ask what's missing and you have to point out the bass.
Once a soundman was setting our levels and assumed we weren't a very bass oriented band but i incorporate a lot of slapping and popping in our music.The sound was dissatisfiying to the band i was in i we adjusted them ourselves.
so you deal on an average bases of people questioning the instrument you love and play everyday and tell me it's easy to play.
us bass players are a special breed.
to prove it I have a huge ass bass clef tattotoed on my right forearm.
i'm proud to play bass and will until the day I die
