greyparrot Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Of course we as bass players know we are important, but its even surprising to myself just how dull music is without the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Wouldn't all these things of yours be more suited to the " Performance>Recording" section, where most other people put films of themselves, rather than in the "Gear>Bass Guitar" section? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This section is more about the actual instrument. A video or recording makes sense if you're saying "hey, look how awesome this instrument is", but after that, recordings should be in the recording section. All IMO of course. Keep posting videos though, I'm enjoying watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 versatility.. Ive always thought of the bass as the drums, with the added capacity for direction of harmony thats played, depending on the color of the harmony being played.. as Yoda would would say.. many variables may they become..

Randy_Marsh Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Along the lines of what the great Devin Townsend said, guitarists can do all their fret w***ing and fiddly bits to their hearts content. However i'm going to stand here and hold it and down... and until i change my mind we're in C. We are fundamental to the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
