For my english 101 class, I have to write about an interest...

[blendermassacre]

and my interest is bass. Tell me some reasons bass is so freaking awesome. Despite it's truth, because it gets you chicks isn't the answer I'm looking for, for this particular project.

English teachers love when you get all descriptive. Write about how the bass feels in your hands, the thrill of the groove, how it makes your heart race and blood boil (but use thesaurus and make it sound better than that)...ect.

Write about how the sound tickles your balls.

You can get reasonably proficient pretty quicky and play in hobby band without embarrassment (my story). But you can also spend the rest of your life exploring what it can do and you still won't reach the limits. For example, I had no idea a bass can do until I saw and heard what Michael Manring can do with it.

how much more finger strength/dexterity you've gained from it and how much your partner enjoys that.

You can't just branch it out to music?

If you've got to stick with bass, go with the ability of low-end frequencies to cause measurable reactions to the human body (i.e. ball-tickling). Talk about the importance in rhythm to the way people percieve music, and how bass is an integral part of the rhythm in most modern music.

I took College English 11011 this year at Kent State university as a Junior in high school, and this was the most fun/challenging writing we had to do.

Dont forget to write about the differences in bass and guitar, fundamental people in its history, and the basses that have made a big impact.

Good luck! And if you need any pointers, lemme know. I Aced the class, so I hope to be a good resource!

[MakiSupaStar]

jeesh guys. Why you gotta keep busting my balls over this?

At the J.hayden video it sounds like Cliff Burton on double bass.

You did not just compare Haydn to Metallica.
