What's the fucking point of a bass player?
You rarely hear them in a rock song, they rarely never sing, they come second(even last) fiddle to Singer, Guitarist, and Drummer.

What's the point in a bass in general? Guitars and Drums almost mute bass, so you can't hear anything. Might as well remove bass altogether.

I'm not going to bother explaining this to you. I will simply state that hou know nothing.

Thousth know not a thing

In rock, bass is half of the guitar tone.

blame rock producers for cutting freqs below 80 hz, bass is fucking awesome

This is now a Police thread

Every bassist I've ever known sings? Like, you know, the harmony part.

Well except for one guy I know who's kind of an asshole and only wants to play ska

it exists so people can jerk off with it over terrible fusion backing tracks on youtube

Try playing in a wind band without a tuba, or a rock band without a bass. The tone totally thins out

t. Someone who's only listened to And Justice For All. Not shaming your taste but bass actually makes a considerable difference when it's not turned down to practically 0.

falsse

question to everyone in this thread:
do you think having a hefty ball sack increases your enjoyment of bass-heavy music? I know I don't start groovin' in earnest until i feel the bass wobble my nuts

Fine. In metal then.

>he has never heard Live At Leeds
By the first song you can already see the importance of bass in rock.

t. i don't have musically trained ears
you remind me of me before i had any music lessons

>I will simply state that hou know nothing.
This.

Now go and listen to Stranglehold from Ted Nugent and learn what ebass means.

Delete this thread somebody. This better be shitty bait,if it's not leave this board.

easily explainible: girls probably feel it in their tatas

Rhythm and dynamics and that's really enough, everything else is a plus.
Even if you drown it with the guitar and drums (a shit tendency among metal), it will still add depth to the production in general.

Give an example of a band that does this and you'll most likely have named a rudimentary band

What's his fucking problem?

Even in AJFA the tracks sound off without the bass.

Barely noticeable, but there's still a difference.

Thankfully their talking about released a remixed version with the bass added back in.

>bass doesn't matte...

I would say that the bassist is very important to the band, second only to the drummer. Together, they form the backbone of a band's sound. A good bass player can create a driving groove or play off the guitarist and enhance his sound. Bass can provide emphasis on a particular part of a song, drawing the listener in for an impactful moment of the composition. A band always benefits from a high quality bass player. Without him, something is missing from the mix that no other instrument can fill.

do you listen to music exclusively through a phone speaker shoved up your ass?

No such thing as a useless instrument, just boring composition. Learn2Google

-r.

Go listen to EVERY RHCP ALBUM and say this pathetic thought again. I dare you

>guys what if we made a song with TWO basses
>AND a synth

this really resonates the sack

You'd be surprised how incomplete rock music sounds without a bass.

It's up to the wielder.......

bass doesn't matte...

Silly user, the Police aren't popular enough here to derail a thread. That said I'll play along. Zenyatta Mondatta is their best album and the true best new wave album. I don't care how many songs Sting wrote, Stew is the heart of the band and the best member. That also said Sting is the best one name bassist, forget Flea.

no this is /thread

If I want to attract flat girls should I play guitar, violin, or?

think of each of the stringed instruments having a direct correlation between it's size and the size of the breast / testicle you want to attract

I don't know why aren't there more bassists who sing when they don't do anything anyway, would be more economical.

youtube.com/watch?v=ere2Mstl8ww

only bass and drums

ok but this song is shit and you didn’t prove op wrong

bass players do nothi-

>you rarely hear them in a rock song
youtube.com/watch?v=uog1U_Kemlk
you're listening to the wrong music mang

i was a bass player, we're definitely the least important member of a band, but bass makes rock rock harder

It keeps the band together.

I play guitar and bass, they are different roles.
