Bass Hate Thread

[Earth Breather]

lol 10 bucks for the gameboy...
Anyway I really HATE bass players that try to sound like a lead guitarist. Fuck off, you chose the wrong instrument, get over it. Bass should be all about rythm, so dont try to play ''bass solos'' cos that just SUCKS

Try listening to Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big).

^^Listen to Yes!

Listen to me.


Fact is, Basses come with a 4(correct me) octave neck.

Frets 5-22 or 24 are there for a reason.

lol well said

6 stringers are 4 octavs, the ordinary 4 stringers are 2 plus.

You say that, but when there is no one to help keep the drummer on time what do you do? Ocatves are a change of pitch, if you use frets 5-22 you keep the same octave, but change the sound.

that is the most basic thing. think about power chords and the arpeggio and add the 11th (the octave of the 3ed ) and that is more than enough to pull hell crazy insanity and melody too while you give the bass line

Thats where you need a drummer who doesn't suck, and can keep time on their own, or with very complex playing.

Bass players that are good usually follow the drummer while using their own style, and drummers are often doing fills that get them off time, so a good bassist is very important.

wtf? You said a bassist needs to play rhythm to keep the drums in time. And I said you need a good drummer who can keep in time with themselves instead of shit bass...

Do yourself a favour and check out Atheist. I Even uploaded a song so you people can download it. This is the way bass should be.

Old Helloween bass > Atheist

Markus is the shit.

 

[Deadnight Warrior87]

Good song though. And thanks for uploading it dude.

He is a god at bass haha yeah. But Atheist's bassists are technically better by far. Maybe you'd think so too after you listened to a full album

 

[Deadnight Warrior87]

Maybe.

Hey, I hate Cannible Corpse, but their bassist is really good as well. I think he should start his own band that doesn't play shitty death metal.

 

[WithoutJudgementJeremy]

Nothing wrong with death metal... but Cannibal Corpse type stuff is shit. I haven't payed attention to Cannibal Corpse's bass. It's too hard to hear.

Probably women like the sound of bass more than men do. It could be sexual, like the sound of a deep voice sounds better to women than a high voice.

 

[Heavenscent]

Hence, bass is gay.
