Bass players
    #5417810 - 03/19/06 01:01 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I knew a bass player who once told me that playing the bass alone isn't much of anything. He said it wasn't a big deal. I'm thinking...WTF? I can understand that you can't  make an album alone on bass playing, but come on...the bass is a big deal. I play the bass and I love it. It's a very important part of the group as all the others instruments are.

I love to just browse peoples profiles on MySpace who play the bass and I can just listen to them.

Bass playing IS a big deal whether you think so or not.

I'm a girl, so expect some kind of bitching and whining from me. :wink:

Anyway..I've posted this clip before but for those who didn't catch it...here it is again.

Ben...a bass player with skills.

rediculous skills

That is all.

BTW....this is a video.

I play bass, mostly I play classical guitar, but really the instruments carry over to each other. I mostly dont like peoples bass playing though, as they usually just have a single note bass line, or really boring and unchanging bass lines. I try to solo virtually constantly when Im just jamming with my friends. We try to have every member of the group solo continuously, and try to just make a song out of it. Sometimes it comes together, sometimes it doesnt. Certainlymakes for an entertaining session though. I get bored too easily playing bass in a real song setting, just playing the same thing over and over again.

This is something I recorded a couple weeks ago, it's mostly just harmonics and it's easy to listen to so tell me what you think.
