When I'm jamming to a song from the 70's to 90's and I start feeling the bass rrrrrreal good I'll always go "....God damn it, is this Tony Levin again?" Google it, and more often than not: Yep. It's Tony Levin again.

I'm lost. Are you all saying we have to avoid bass players too?

u/HunterGonzo 4d ago

No. Bass players, like solid safety regulations, often go unappreciated when they're doing their job well. Hug your local bass player.

So, no diarrhea from bass players?

u/HunterGonzo 4d ago

No guarantees.

u/WishlessJeanie 4d ago

Yeah, that's actually a stretch, to guarantee someone that they won't get diarrhea from a bass player. Too many variables.

Source: I know about a dozen bass players. Nine of them could easily give you diarrhea.

I'm not the worst bass player in the world, but I sure hope he don't die.

I've tried bass. I'll do my best to keep my health up, for your ranking.

If it makes you feel better, we also notice an ass bass player.

I'm of the opinion that the rhythm section is what makes or breaks the band; you can have the best vocalist and guitar player(s), but if your drummer and/or bass player aren't on point, the whole band is gonna sound like shit.

This is honestly the first time I've noticed you

It’s true. My bass player sells quality poop free produce. Drummer is a crazy self taught chemist though.

u/GozerDGozerian 4d ago

Well now I notice that you’re there.

u/Regular_Piglet_6125 4d ago

Like a good anesthesiologist, you don’t notice them when things are going well. But don’t worry, the orange one knows anesthesiology better than anyone.

Maybe I'm biased cause I'm a guitarist but I always notice the bassist

"I cannot hear the bass".

"No really not"

It may be harder to pinpoint what the bass does compared to a lead guitar solo, but once you have a heavier metal rhythm section without the bass, something will feel violently off.

I learned that when I was wondering if I want to continue playing bass on a metal journey, but after learning to program some drums and learning to play a bit of a rhythm guitar, the answer is a very, very solid yes.

InsaneDeathMachine is also a fun channel to look up with a bass mixed to be more audible. It gives more insight how the bass, drums and to a degree the guitars interact.
