Sometimes you wonder how bassists don't get bored while playing some songs. amirite?
by Anonymous12 years ago
Depends on the song. With the music I listen to, the bassist is doing a lot more than any member of the bands you're probably thinking of.

Are you thinking of Hysteria, by Muse?

No, sir. I don't listen to Muse. I was thinking more along the lines of Only Ash Remains by Necrophagist.

The orchestra double bassists do.

In Primus, the lead instrument IS the bass. NoFX has some pretty fun stuff to play on bass too.
I understand what you mean though. The average band just has the most basic bass chords possible.

It's quite boring in most of today's music, but guitar isn't much different, many songs are just 3 simple chords and a basic strum pattern. Most bassists I know play songs from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea's bass lines are beyond impressive.
