its really cool, i had my first lesson yesterday, my teacher's awesome, he actually has heard of bert janch! and i was riding the bus with it, and i had two people ask me to join their band, i guess there's no bass players in phoenix or something.
bassists are soooo hot one of my really good friends just started playing bass and he's already awesome at guitar...i told him i wanted to have his babies bassists...droool
Do you feel left out? No, but that isn't true, I'm selective. You have to... pay me some attention every now and then, and... have a pulse.
I wanna play bass... but I've been playing guitar for about 2 years now. But still wanna try bass just once.
You took up the bass... but can you take it up the bass? I don't know what that means, I'm sorry. I took up an 8.2lb. bass once... big as a turkey the bastard nearly bit my thumb off. So I ate it.
My friend's dad was once a bassist in a band called "The Tiger's of Pantang" back in the 80's. For his AS results his dad bought him a bass, a car, a laptop and a PC, lucky bastard. Anyway, point is, bass rules, I'd never played one until a few days ago, the strings are humongous (to my guitary fingers anyway). I love a good "bass-growl" and funk bass lines.... goddamn. Listen to Jurassic 5 for some really funky basslines. Anyone out there own (or have friends who own) a bass and a wah-wah pedal? Hook them up together, you get some funkin' sounds.
yea im learnin slap bass, palm muting, poppin, all that good stuff. and isnt the term "bandaid" nowadays? or am i just watching "allmost famous" too much?
