    Guitard Rant!

    yes i myself am leaning VERY much towards alot fo the newer pop alt like muse, killers, arctic monkeys, hockey, mgmt ETC because of their use of more bass/drums/keys. been trying to make a bit of this myself but my area of life SUCKS to be anything but a guitarist. I have been looking for...

    Guitard Rant!

    please elaborate, cause every band Ive EVER seen unless the bass player is also the singer (Getty lee, sting, "does winger count?", Paul McCartney, all american rejects, ETC) the guitarists is ALWAYS more acknowledged than the bassist. i mean if the chilli peppers stuck with any one...

    Guitard Rant!

    why do you think they get more creditability and respect from the public? because they fill in empty spaces, play loud and gt heard. More bass players should take these lesssons, its the only reason anyone Knows Flea. Cause he plays loud constant and is all over the place on stage.

    funniest joke i ever heard

    As a birthday gift, a father decided to get his son a bass guitar and some lessons. After the first lesson, the boy's father asked him how his lesson went. "It went great, Dad. I learned to play on the first 5 frets on the top string!" The father praised his son's efforts. The next week, his...

    Bass soloing..do you or do you not?

    could not have said it better myself. why is this though? i REALLY think if we could get the bass i nice heavy shreddy sound people would ind themselves more interested in the solo'ing aspects. not to mention there would need to be more bass players with a ambitious attitude over the "sit in...

    Is the bass playing economy really that bad?

    i went through the same thing with my huge carvin stack. i had the thing priced super low just cause i didnt have time nor space for it so i figured any money is better than less space. i got nothing but low ballers and people wanting to trade fro inane things. I live in CT and to me there is...

    Let`s just get together and jam, man!

    i agree with the poster. you NEED one song you are all the same page with, other wise it turns into everyone TRYING to jam for 10 mins getting frustrated and asking "well do you know this tune?" better to know a song or two together than to sit there with your fingers up your a**es; or each...

    Guitarists playing bass?

    The majority of people will always be impressed with ANY guitarist over any bass player. the guitar is a much showier instrument. thats like saying (and im going out on a limb for an example only cause its early) Given the choice people will watch WCW over WWF (WWE) yeah they both did the same...

    So, is that how it is?

    please forgive me if im wrong on your intended target, but i really dont think the OP cared as much about his dad 's opinion as you may think. more so he was shocked his dad of all people had that opinion towards the bass. meaning "geez how many people actually think this!?" as a general thing...

    So, is that how it is?

    OKAY unless your playing original music you guys created, generated around the bass the audience prob wouldnt notice. why do you think the bass is SO mixed out of todays music. you need a super great stereo system just to "hear" it. im not trying to be insulting but if you removed the bass out...

    So, is that how it is?

    i dunno to me it goes like this. people will believe what they are told. most people are just dumb, thats life. if someone is told a bassist is a failed guitarist and they see no other truths then thats what it is. instead of building a hide why dont bassists just start trying to play more...

    So, is that how it is?

    no they say "man that singer sounds like a chick!" lol but in all consideration Getty is a singer, keyboardist AND then the bassist so he has 3 deals going for him over anyone else. like sting or paul mcartney. no one cares they played bass, they are just the lead singers over anything else...

    well the problem is i tend to just kind of write, not really write lyrics with an intended rhythm cause it changes al the time. i try to use the bass and even just play roots steadily so i have a tempo but its like singing to bass sounds too weird and throws me off. its tuff, was really...

    Do bass players have a certain kind of personality?

    i've noticed two things about being a bass player

    Funny thing was, one of my most popular bands i was in used this one mixing/recording guy who had this amazing studio he built himself in his basement. He was great except one thing, i found myself mixed out of a lot of stuff, which was odd because my guys "supposedly" wanted me so bad because i...

    Which is more important in rock music? Guitar or Bass?

    the point was try and play "just bass" and see how many girls scream. people "can" dance to drums alone due to the steady tempo where as a bass would be filling in and fulling in the drums. This means the bass alone would have to many empty soundless areas people would not be able to keep a...

    Which is more important in rock music? Guitar or Bass?

    i dont see tool's bassist as a lead, and am very tired of listening to people say it. Tool's bass is nothing but roots and simple changes, it's just heavier pop really. The only reason you think its lead is because its loud enough to hear, which shows where the instrument is socially. and the...
