Playing bass is not synonymous with my massive guitarist ego.

Also.. I noticed this even at shredding and more advanced stuff - its NECESARRY to play with band.. otherwise.. as soloist.. you cant show off that much, because without bass, drums etc it doesnt sound that good..
I think, that same goes for bass guitar - its dependant on other instruments. On the other hand acoustic players - take Bjorn Berge - he doesnt need anything.. anyone else.. he plays bass, guitar, drums (stomping on floor) and sings at once:) That makes a lot.. with guitar you can at least sing and play chords.. with bass.. not.. So its harder to impress and have fun when you dont have band.. Btw. I plan to go for base at some time.. I just love its sound:) This post has been edited by Jakub Luptovec: Feb 22 2008, 09:18 PM -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

QUOTE (Sami @ Feb 22 2008, 09:33 PM) hahah not true for me, around the time that i started guitar it upset my gf alot cause she felt as if i was doing what she wanted to do(music, yeah she was kinda selfish lol) and it led to us braking up haha. I have to admit it does help with girls, but i find i care about my guitar more than i do girls Than you are on a good way my friend!

Yes I think this may be the strongest point here! People that start to play want to be able to play at home songs and often sing along or allow other to do it..With bass its little hard to do..But than again playing both instruments at home along with favorite CDs can be fun (if you don't sing just play)

It's just the more popular instrument, and, sadly, I think the reason most people today get into music is just because they think it's cool.

QUOTE (Smells @ Feb 22 2008, 06:47 PM) Well adding to my earlier post I gotta say, I just got back from a rehearsal where we are forming a new band a was trying out a drummer, we still need a Bass player so the other guitarist and I shared Bass duties for tonight and my finger tips are bloomin killing me!! Not only that but the slightest "off" note and it sticks out like a sore thumb, playing the guitar you can get away with the odd slip here n there, most people dont even notice unless its super bad, but on the Bass you hear everything! I already had respect for Bass players but tonight has just bought a whole new meaning to the word "respect"! Yeah, I did a good few rehearsals where I stood in for a bass player - I really enjoyed it, it gave me a whole new take on the music, but it seemed like hard work compared to guitar (probably just my perception). Overall I was glad to be back in guitarland, with a healthy respect for Bass Players who belong in a twilight between percussion and guitar, and who are absolutely essential to a good band! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I played bass for years. I loved it, but later on I got interested in playing neoclassical, and it just made sense to switch to guitar.

I already had respect for Bass players but tonight has just bought a whole new meaning to the word "respect"! In rhythm off note will stick out ok..But I thought the opposite , Its easier to notice mistakes of vocals and guitarists live , because they are in higher frequencies..With bass you are going to notice it too but you won't exactly (as audience member) know what happened and who is to blame..In time you can learn not to play off notes and rather just skip them and not play those notes at all..When my mind wonders off on stage and I hit mistake I just momentarily stop playing at that moment and quickly concentrate on whats the next note and continue there..So I just make a brief pause there and that is surly unnoticeable..Of course if you are going to miss basic roots of the chords that guitar plays that is going to be heard surly! And yes fingers will hurt but you will very fast get "on the track" as with everything.. I'm really glad you had this insight on bass playing Smells QUOTE (Joe Kataldo @ Feb 23 2008, 07:31 AM) Because Guitar is Sexy   But bass is so much bigger and guitar after that looks like a little toy
