like seriously, why does everyone act surprised when you point out the bassist did something cool in a song? its always 'oh yeah i guess the bassline is pretty good' like no, its the backbone of half the stuff you listen to. without it the song would just sound empty yeah the guitarist or singer might get the spotlight but without a solid bassline its just... noise. and dont even get me started on how people think its 'easy' to play bass its not. sure, its not as flashy as shredding on a guitar but its not less important. you try keeping a band together when someones off tempo or forgets their part bassists are the unsung heroes here maybe its because they dont do crazy solos or scream into a mic, idk. but next time you listen to a song, actually pay attention to the bass. you might be surprised how much its doing in the background. ...
why do bassists never get enough credit
