Les Claypool would like a word.
I’d rather not
I mean I don’t feel underappreciated. I’ve never once had a problem finding a group to play with.
Geddy Lee (Rush), Les Claypool (Primus, others), Dominick “Forest” LePointe (First Fragment, others), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chris Squire (Yes), Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Sting (The Police), John Deacon (Queen), Maurice Gibb (Bee Gees)…
What’s a bassist?
But doctor, I am
Pagliaccithe bassist.It’s why I want to start playing it at 27 years old
Just my opinion, but bass is disgusting, both the instrument and the sound it makes. The strings are so fat I felt nauseous the first time I played one.
>Opinion
>Wrong
Brilliant.
As a metalhead I’m very ashamed that I can’t make the difference between the guitar and the bass, please don’t tease me
No shame in that. You could start accustoming your ears by searching YT for “bass and drums isolated” and listen to those versions and then the originals and see if you separate the bass better.
There are a few websites that can separate stems. I use lalal.ai to get the bass line and then convert it to tabs using another service.
You can convert to tabs from an isolated baseline? Is it someone just transcribing it? Or like a program?
Edit: pocket sand
No worries at all. This is all so foreign to me. Gives me some cool stuff to research though. Thanks for the info, appreciate it.
Sh-sh-sha.
listen to Ride the Lightning then Justice for All.
Just, you know, don’t throw me under the bus for it.
Wow.
Could’ve been worse, he could’ve lived and become like Dave Mustaine.
Hmm, is there supposed to be much of a difference? I recon, if it was physically possible to make a trumpet sound like a tuba, that would be very popular. And as I understand, that is possible with e-guitar and e-bass, because electronics…
Thundercat is a master at the base who really opened my eyes to their unappreciated percussive role in music.
And the OG les claypool. Both are incredible in their own right
OMG yes!!! …And now I have to go listen to some Thundercat.
As a bassist, can confirm.
I’ve only recently really started to appreciate notcing the bass in music. It’s an underdog no one seems to respect :(
I didn’t listen to bass untill I become one
Now 99% of the reason why I like certain songs is because of the bass
I am become bass, destroyer of riffs
How did you become bass?
Bassed
Geddy Lee is the GOAT who kinda looks like one
Don’t be fooled, they just want mooch a lunch of you cuz they spent their allowance on instruments!
We are just accepting donations for our divine presence 😇
Look, if the frontman would just loosen the purse strings a little bit, I could afford to buy a much better bass while I continue to starve.
