ras52 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm in a pub watching the champions' league final, and there's a band setting up in the corner. Judging by the amps they're putting up, there are going to be three guitars and no bass! I'm finding this very disturbing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I always miss bass if it's not there. I'm OK with traditional music or music without bass - but if the keys trys to cover the bass role . . . I'm not sticking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras52 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 This is all electric. I think one of them has an octave divider :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's funny. Out of everyone, those who most seem to undervalue the electric bass are... other bloody 'musicians'. Yet it's the punters who seemingly know no better who react well to the bass, even if they don't understand what it is - it's fundamental to a song and gets them moving. My 2p.
