Base
Thundercat is a master at the base who really opened my eyes to their unappreciated percussive role in music.
OMG yes!!! …And now I have to go listen to some Thundercat.
And the OG les claypool. Both are incredible in their own right
As a bassist, can confirm.
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
How did you become bass?
I am become bass, destroyer of riffs
Geddy Lee is the GOAT who kinda looks like one
Don’t be fooled, they just want to mooch a lunch off you cuz they spent their allowance on instruments!
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.
We are just accepting donations for our divine presence 😇
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.

Bassists are based
Just my opinion, but bass is disgusting, both the instrument and the sound it makes. The strings are so fat I felt nauseous the first time I played one.

>Wrong
Brilliant.
as a bass player, I agree. It’s a form of self harm.
I mean I don’t feel underappreciated. I’ve never once had a problem finding a group to play with.
But doctor, I am
Pagliaccithe bassist.Les Claypool would like a word.

Man, I just think about the opening for “Would?” by Alice in Chains. People who underappreciate the bass haven’t heard that song.
Other bass-first songs include “You’ve Seen The Butcher” and “Radiant City” by the Deftones.
The bassline is front and center in nutshell
