Guitars play pretty chords and melodies. Keyboards are good for fills and background. Drums are cool the way they beat out rhythms and beats.
We keep our basses locked away in basements so that women and children will be safe. We usually only play single notes because our notes are so profound that playing chords can knock the planets out of alignment. Bass is the only instrument that growls, grinds, and clanks. With extended range basses we can get sub-sonic.
A good bass line is what makes people dance. |

Sure there are a handful of bands with 2 bass players, but that's like having a two headed tooth brush. | Ahem... clearly, two bassists are better:

Why Bass is the best instrument: Because of the people that are drawn to use it as their tool of musical expression! |

Bass is good for some stuff though. You need someone to stand to the left of the drummer. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
