c_musket Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 i no very good at bass but don't care because i don't really care playing bass. i leave my bass at drummer house and play at band practices, I skip half the time too lazy to drive. No work on timing cause that the drummer job even when his timing good. If his timing good and mine bad, he has adjust to me so timing will be better. What should do?

Megalomania Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 ^ Agreed. And you should always work to be better, not have him work to be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp13 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Dude, bass is the real deal. I am a bass player and seriously, everybody thinks that the drummer keeps the time and is the heartbeat of the music, but it is really the bass. Dude, If you even want to consider staying in that band, you have to yourk your *** off. It is a comittment, you gotta practice man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 drums and bass are really important within a band... possibly the most important part. regardless of what genre of music you play it matters if timing is good. people aren't going to want to listen to a band where each member is playing something different and not in sync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorrificAttack Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Dude, you ever listen to non-acoustic band with no bassist, sounds like crap. I disagree so much. I love bass, but I know bands with no bass that are amazing. Blood Red Shoes and The White Stripes for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 You can play video games and be in a band, but if you want to be in a band, then you have to care about it, practice, and have a positive attitude about it and not be lazy or slack off.

Extremely popular band. their basslines we're good for the first album... bass is still really important even if it's simple. but i don't feel like it cause i like xbox 360 and bass isnt exciting instrument bass is easy dont need practice. bass can be quite an exciting instrument. take the beatles basslines... w/o mccartney's melodic basslines i'm sure the songs wouldn't be as interesting if they were just the root note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
