Don't be fooled, they just want to mooch a lunch off you cuz they spent their allowance on instruments!
Look, if the frontman would just loosen the purse strings a little bit, I could afford to buy a much better bass while I continue to starve.
Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: "what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?"
Me, many many years later: "BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!"
It took a while as a guitarist/keyboard player just learning and starting out to realize how fundamental it is. I kept trying to turn up the low end of things in the mixer in my software to compensate without realizing what I was missing.
I've only recently really started to appreciate notcing the bass in music. It's an underdog no one seems to respect :(
I didn't listen to bass untill I become one
Now 99% of the reason why I like certain songs is because of the bass
I was watching a documentary, and apparently if you become a vegan you gain psychic abilities, get to have sex with Brie Larson and make your bass sound like a guitar as necessary.
Maybe you should try that.
Thundercat is a master at the base who really opened my eyes to their unappreciated percussive role in music.
If you ever get your hands on a bass and don't have money for real lessons, can't go wrong with Rock Smith, a third party cable, and the mod that lets you use third party cables
Edit: I guess you can go wrong with Rocksmith since it's not available on steam anymore... There's always the seven seas
As a metalhead I'm very ashamed that I can't make the difference between the guitar and the bass, please don't tease me
Hmm, is there supposed to be much of a difference? I recon, if it was physically possible to make a trumpet sound like a tuba, that would be very popular. And as I understand, that is possible with e-guitar and e-bass, because electronics...
No shame in that. You could start accustoming your ears by searching YT for "bass and drums isolated" and listen to those versions and then the originals and see if you separate the bass better.
listen to Ride the Lightning then Justice for All.
Just, you know, don't throw me under the bus for it.
There are a few websites that can separate stems. I use lalal.ai to get the bass line and then convert it to tabs using another service.
You can convert to tabs from an isolated baseline? Is it someone just transcribing it? Or like a program?
Edit: pocket sand
Yes, you can use lalal.ai to separate the bassline, then feed that to another service like Guitar2Tabs on klang.io. Also, my bad, was busy and couldn't remember the name of the tab converter.
No worries at all. This is all so foreign to me. Gives me some cool stuff to research though. Thanks for the info, appreciate it.
Sh-sh-sha.
Geddy Lee (Rush), Les Claypool (Primus, others), Dominick "Forest" LePointe (First Fragment, others), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chris Squire (Yes), Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Sting (The Police), John Deacon (Queen), Maurice Gibb (Bee Gees)...
There is also a Bocchi lemmy ... thing. Thread, board, magazine, whichever.
Man, I just think about the opening for "Would?" by Alice in Chains. People who underappreciate the bass haven't heard that song.
I mean I don't feel underappreciated. I've never once had a problem finding a group to play with.
