Bassists Unite

[KMilliron]

I want a show of hands who here is tough enough to take on the bass guitar!

Bassists and guitars?

Wtf.

Phish don't play guitars...

^^


I don't play an instrument, but a good bass is something that bumps a band up in my book.


My fav bass is Ryan Martinie(Mudvayne).


Without him, Mudvayne would be overlooked.


Five Finger Death Punch has a preety good bass, but they got a better drummer.


Pantera is nice as well.

Fieldy of KoRn...

I love the slap style.

If i played in a band... I would choose bass.

Feildy rocks, but I've been messing with some of Flea's styles.

I have a bass, I named him Billy.


ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS name your instrument. Unless you didn't buy it.
Mine was a gift but I named it becuase there's so much personality in him.

Drums FYW!

You needs a bass when you can hit stuff?

A bass is just depth of sound.

A Bass is the one most refered (bass guitar)

There are bass drums.

I was watching a mini series discussing what roles each part of the band plays, and it was actually pretty true.

Drums- skeleton, giving them structure

Bass- Muscle to allow free movement

Guitar- the heart keeps the band essentially alive and energetic

Vocals- the brain, whether you like it or not, they essentially control everything and become the face of your band

I agree on the drums.



Agree on the bass.



I agree that the frontman eventually becomes the posterchild of the band.


But I think both the guitar and vocals could be seen as the brain.
