All I gotta say about the Bass is this:
1. Why is it the last thing a band usually looks for when putting one together?
2. Why are there a hell of a lot less experienced bass players than guitarists or drummers?
&
3. The only reason a bass was built to have 4 strings instead of 6 is because it's clearly not supposed to be as dominant of an instrument as the guitar and drums!!!Obviously, for that reason, bassists are there to simply support the rhythm of the drums and follow the main notes/sound of the guitar!!!
In conclusion, the bass is pretty much found to be the least important instrument in a band, with
only a few highly experienced bass geniuses proving people wrong, ya see?
Cheers to artists like
Flea, Geddy Lee and
David Ellefson though!!!
