cytania Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Raise your hand and repeat after me. 'This is my bass. There are many like it but this one is mine. I picked it out of the many and I like the way it sounds. Others may not understand it. Others may not like the way it looks. Others may not like it's action or it's neck or it's tuners or it's pickups... but this is my bass and I will practice with it and gig with it and sweat with it until I am at one with the music. With it I shall take the drumbeat and add melody. With it I shall lock in and find the pocket. Guitarists may get the glory up front, the audience may hang on the singer's every word but without the bass there is no funk. Without bass there is no grind, no growl and no grunt. With my bass the music will rock. With my bass I shall lay down the low end and groove. This I swear.' Thank you, now call me Leonard Pyle!

Ancient Mariner Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Actually I can lay down plenty of funk or grind with my guitar, but love it when a bass player works with me on that. Not sure I've reached the stage on bass yet where I can really make it funk or grind, so maybe it's time for more practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
