What's the purpose of bass players?

Well, somebody has to wake up, wash, dress and feed the drummer before practice.

Jokes on you, I'm colourblind

Her name is Alejandra Villarreal, for those wondering

close! your line was “she’s so pretty” feel free to try again

As a bassist of 30+ years….. I feel seen.

Good bass does just as much as good drums for metal in my opinion. Here's a good example of every part of a band with a chance to shine:

BEYOND CREATION - Omnipresent Perception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0MkJtI3FvU

Drums - 3:08

Guitar 1 - 3:49

Bass - 4:17

Guitar 2 - 4:45

Usually we're not seen. This is your moment, brother.

I had to turn down my Fender Rumble 500 because if I turn it to 5, it makes my pants flap like I'm in front of a fan, and it caused enough vibration to make one of my drummers crash stands fall over lol

I should buy a bass

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

That's some crazy talent. They don't even need vocals. Probably more listenable without, actually. But I'm getting old.

From the tapping to the fretless six to the solo duel, very very cool. Thank you

[septimaeus@infosec.pub]

Ah, legend

🟪 boys

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

Do it. And put effort into it. It's a great investment.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

F Rumbles are great. That's a great example why lol

Now you just have to use the threat of turning it up to end discussions

B A S S !

Same. Very, very heavily hinted at a used bass guitar for Christmas this year. Put a harmonica on the list as a joke as I was being nagged to put more stuff on the list.

Now I own a harmonica.

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

You can get a cheap $80 bass on Amazon. They actually last a long time, i still play mine, and it keeps your tuning forever.

Grab one of those and play for a year. It's the perfect starter bass.

Look, everyone knows that the bass player carries the band>!'s gear!<
