BigRedX Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 But are they all written on the bass guitar? I think you'll find that song-writers who play bass as their primary instrument are competent on at least one other that normally lends itself better to songwriting. As a bass-playing song writer myself, most of my songs have the bulk of them written on guitar or keyboard rather than the bass, although I'll use any of them to generate the initial musical ideas.

Lozz196 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 For my last band as I was so focused on it I sold my guitars so that I only played bass, and therefore could only write on bass. I didn’t want the distraction of a different instrument getting in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ1 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for the replies, I write chord progressions on a 12string acoustic, but I find when the root notes are transposed to a bass the flaws in those progressions are more apparent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
