      Look, if the frontman would just loosen the purse strings a little bit, I could afford to buy a much better bass while I continue to starve.

    Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: “what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?”

    Me, many many years later: “BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!”

      A song without bass is like a glass without water or something like that

        It took a while as a guitarist/keyboard player just learning and starting out to realize how fundamental it is. I kept trying to turn up the low end of things in the mixer in my software to compensate without realizing what I was missing.

      I’ve only recently really started to appreciate notcing the bass in music. It’s an underdog no one seems to respect :(

        I didn’t listen to bass untill I become one

        Now 99% of the reason why I like certain songs is because of the bass

    Thundercat is a master at the base who really opened my eyes to their unappreciated percussive role in music.

    As a metalhead I’m very ashamed that I can’t make the difference between the guitar and the bass, please don’t tease me

      Hmm, is there supposed to be much of a difference? I recon, if it was physically possible to make a trumpet sound like a tuba, that would be very popular. And as I understand, that is possible with e-guitar and e-bass, because electronics…

      No shame in that. You could start accustoming your ears by searching YT for “bass and drums isolated” and listen to those versions and then the originals and see if you separate the bass better.
