I hate bassists (rant)

I hate bassists so much it's unreal.

It's low talent monkey instrument for cheapskate retards.

And I do mean RETARDS. Yet Every band I think about joining insists on having one. Why? Another guitarist that's not as good as the lead (me), can replace that shit fucking instrument with am octave pedal, or hell at least replace him with a synth player. Yeah, that asian dude is weird but at least he knows how to actually play music.


Speaking of... YOUR NOT A REAL MUSICIAN IF YOU AY BASS. oh me? I'm sweep picking in G Phrygian, I'm harmonizing, I'm hitting leads, I'm giving sizzle to this steak.
The bassist? Going DooDooDooDooDoo on the top two strings again for the 20th song in a row? I practice for hours a day and this dude probably hasn't touched his instrument all week.

Yeah they're cheap too, I've spent $2000 on pedals to enhance my sound and bring new colors to the table? Bass? Plugs straight into the amp and goes back to Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo.

I can't believe I would have to share a stage with one of these simpletons.


>Ughgugj but what about the good bassists?

There are none.


>Dave mustane

Basically a guitarist that was forced to play bass. Doesn't count


>Steven Harris

Doesn't know scales. Just ayes fast and retards are impressed

> Fat Mike
Again, basically a guitarist, doesn't count as bassist.

>Victor Wooten

You don't like his music. Don't fucking lie to me.

>Flea
Likely gay, just as the red hot chilly peppers are


It's a moot point anyway because 99.9999% of bassists will only ever bad as good as mark hoppus, which, is really fucking embarrassing.
This kind of shit is why I don't do bands anymore. I fucking hate working with non musicians (bass, drummer, singer, etc) and synth players are fucking weird nerdy piano kids that want to be cool but aren't.

If you actually understood mathrock you wouldn't be saying that shit. You probably hear the irregular time intervals or the lax song structure and when it's on movement A''''''''' you can't comprehend it because it's not the wiggles or whatever the fuck is at your IQ level


Don't worry, cocomelon is free on YouTube if you need something more your speed.

no one cares about guitar anymore loser. everything you do can be done with a computer. even still there are millions of 12 year olds better than you at guitar to go around. no one needs another "lead" guitarist. no one is impressed.

I've played guitar and bass and bass is fun. When you crank up the volume and you can feel each note reverberating through yours and everyone's skull it's great. You only need like 5 notes to make some really quite nice basslines so I encourage that you seethe more.

How do I learn bass for jamming bros? I keep getting discouraged every time I look at a tab and can't play

Bass is more important than guitar

>the virgin $2000 spending no friends guitarist
>the chad doo doo doo doo bassist

There are people on Yea Forums RIGHT NOW stupid enough to fall for this bait

Find out what key the song is in and what chords are played when, then play from the notes that fit in that key. There's charts online with the right stuff.

But you can at least make good music with guitar. Bass does absolutely nothing.

If you want to jam then you need to practice scales and learn what makes notes fit together. Of course this is something you should know anyway so get to work.

is this a question from a guitarist who wants a bass or a total novice?

as a guitar fag myself, it kinda worries me there's this branch of guitar fags that are pretty much unaware of any other genres outside rock / metal

black metal without bass is bad
very bad
OP goes oh lead guitarist is not getting enough attention like when band talks or practices or performs or does anything and now says that is not quite good must post on records reddit
bass is krieg
OP is kringe

I play my bass like a guitar and I don't care about timing or the drums

Headline readers get the rope. The longer you read the more obvious it gets

op sounds mad af

>replace that shit fucking instrument with am octave pedal
you'd need a delay pedal with a random setting too

>Dave mustane
wait what
dave mustaine never played bass, he always played guitar

judging by the rest of his posts i’m surprised OP learned how to type on a keyboard

Okay? I don't give a fuck about bass. That guy was probably a dumb fuck too

> 1 finger on A# on the second string.

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Get the fuck out of my face. Bassists are so fucking scared of going past the 7th fret it's hilarious

Check’d

He plays it a bit, wrote the bass intro to Peace Sells too, but he's certainly no bassist

Hoes mad

>You don't like his music. Don't fucking lie to me.

kek, true.

bassed

Bassists have an easy gig. I'm a guitarist and a friend asked me to stand in for their bass player at a few wedding gigs. It was the easiest £200 in my hand per night that I have ever earned. All I did was hit root notes, followed the bass drum rhythm and added my own improved rhythm.

gigs are easy for any musician when all you're doing is playing shitty covers for drunk wedding guests.

Doo Doo Doo Doo isn't Chad it's fucking lazy and makes ZERO girls wet.

>You don't like his music. Don't fucking lie to me.
The flecktones are one of the greatest bands of all time

>low effort guy gets all the benefits that come from being in a band
has to be the biggest chad

there's no money past the 5th fret

guitar music is going to fall (deeper) into irrelevancy, yet bassfags will continue to have a high demand in the industry, no matter how you try to brush it off as shitty music
and no, jumping from guitar to bass is not gonna cut it, I've heard lots of fags brag about it and they are unable to stay in the pocket, if you plan to record shit, run from these guys, they'll waste studio time
t.drummer

If this is pasta it's extremely tasty

>Taking wisdom from a snaggletoothed country "musician" that probably only know C major

Be honest, what really pisses you off is that you are always the second (or third) best guitar player in the room, so everyone expects you to play bass…..

What if it isn’t bait? What if it truly is my unfiltered dogshit opinion? What then, huh?

5 frets gives you oct+fifth, there are no classic lines that span more than that except a few slap things and disco octaves but that doesn't really count

What are you 5? Mixes fall totally flat without bass. Octave pedal? Sounds like ass bro step up your game

Imma just gonna leave this 'ere:

Why?

>get paid as much as lead guitarist at a gig for a fraction of the work
Work smart, not hard

>wrote the bass intro to Peace Sells
shit really? based dave, that's one of my favorites basslines ever

Jazz
You need bass, or an organ player that can walk with the footpedals, which is pretty rare. Groove Holmes can, Jimmy Smith ehh more just reinforcement than the same kind of walks as you’d expect from an upright bass player
Classical
You don’t always have them but they are an amazing addition to the arrangement, but of course you must be able to bow and pizz
Reggae
The bass is the lead almost as much as the vocal is, everything else is essentially rhythm section including guits if used or piano or keyboards, newer stuff uses synth sometimes or a mix of both on the low end

Guitar needs to find a new niche and place in an ensemble. They shouldn’t try to flex only on lead or solo but enhance the song playing specific parts as another orchestral instrument should

People are sick of hearing wailing constant guitar wanking. It was just overdone for decades using the flashly lead or lead and rythm idea on music mostly blues influenced
If you had 2 guitarists I wouldn’t want to hear a single fuckin solo
Fuck off with solos unless you’re playing Jazz honestly, that idea of arrangement is now done to death

OP mad because they kicked him out of the band for being a total dick

>cylindrical bore
practically plays itself

Top notch, Dostoevsky-level bait.
bass is literally insert, withdraw and cum. Drums are the rhythmic moans. Guitar is the brief flickers of tongue in between. That’s why black people, the kings of modern Western music, emphasize beats and boom. Eating pussy is a strictly a beta-level white invention.

*smacks lips*

Haha ripped me. Well done
