the good thing about this is, as a new guitarist picking up a used bass is a great way to get some experience gigging, because plenty of people want a bass in the band but lots of people have no interest in having a virtuosic tryhard noodling in every song

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
virtuosic tryhards can be entertaining, like Les Primus, the bassist for primus, and also the guy from tool, i forget his name. its something weird like "maynaise james keeman

The bass produces lower frequencies than the guitar and usually plays the harmony

You’re drat right. For example i am listening to “Squarepusher - my red hot car” right now and if I’m being honest the bass line is what makes it so good.

Not a real life bass player though so I don’t know if it’s relevant to the thread

in all seriousness tho if you're a fan of bass guitar look up Toast Machine, from Cotati/Petaluma, CA

it's all instrumental, one bassist and one drummer, and it fuckin rocks

that means a lot coming from me, cause noodling annoys the poo poo out of me

i think they broke up tho

looks like only one of their albums is on youtube, but it's a fun listen all the way thru. the first song, the intro song, was always what they opened their shows with and it's a fuckin fantastic song to mosh to

This is very sick. I’ll be checking these guys out.

Also I think lightning bolt is a guy playing a 5 string bass(1 guitar string) and ride the skies is also very good.

oh neat, gio (bass guy) found a new drummer. back in 20...10? the dude who used to drum with him at toast machine shows had to bow out because his day job was taking off and he had to choose between gigging and his career. I heard they reunited for a few one-off shows. it'd be cool if he found someone to play as toast machine with regularly. she definitely has the energetic drumming to keep up

I agree, nothing, the absolute absence of anything, is definitely sexier than that

You are correct, and I completely agree with you, it just shits me when people say “Nothing is better/sexier/tastier/more effective/etc than [THING]”, when what they mean is “There is nothing better/etc..”

RIP Cliff Buron, the only bassist I could ever respect. Although Jason is pretty loving metal too, in truth you could mute most bass tracks and not even notice something's missing.
