Because most bands the bass is the least noticeable part of a song

Piano jew

Because a lot of bassist aren't that great. The ones that ARE great always stand out and are very memorable

because retards think they can't hear the bass

There is no greater odium warranted by man, than that engendered through the presence of a bass guitarist.

This mostly, and I think that most people listen to the vocals and the guitar as these are usually in the mid range of octaves which we perceive more clearly.

a great bass line will always stand out more than a great riff.

Miroslav Vitouš

>9 songs, 2 red hot chili peppers songs
lmao
the absolute state of plebs

who is roger waters

That's not the case in funk or jazz music

I dont think Gene Simmons or McCartney are "forgettable."

People tend to listen to vocals the most because they can sing along to the lyrics.

Gene Simmons is only known by the general public because he is a marketing machine.
And Paul McCartney is known because he also sings

What about Les Claypool or Geddy Lee?

Jaco Pastorius, a great bassist.

Usually because most songs are written by singers and/or guitarists who couldn't write a good bass countermelody to save their lives.

Those aren't bassists. They're just lead singers who happen to hold a bass sometimes.

I understand the confusion though, no actual bassist would be as talented as either of them.

>Les
>hold a bass sometimes
>sometimes
are you having a stroke user

Because John wanted to be forgotten.

Music has really come a long way, I'm glad that bands are coming in with an experimental mindset with their music. where can I buy their album?

ftfy

unless it's a meme bassist like flea

Because a synthesizer can do what they do in the blink of an eye

How do you get a guitarist to stop playing? Put sheet music in front of him.
How do you get a keyboard player to stop playing? Take away the sheet music.
How do you get a drummer to stop playing? Turn on the metronome.
How do you get a bassist to stop playing? Doesn't matter, you didn't know he was playing anyway.

Everyone loves the crazy basslines from people like Flea, and those are nice but I love some of the more groovy and driving basslines like the ones from CCR's Stu Cook and Talking Heads' Tina Weymouth
