Hey /b/ros, what should I learn on bass
How to play 1-4-5, in any key, all night long without going out of your mind.
Prove yourself OP
Play something complex as fuck
Like Seven nation army or smoke on the water
Thinking about getting myself a bass soon.
Any tips or advice OP?

>4 strings max, fingers only
Confirmed for being a complete idiot. 5-string is essential for many genres and types of playing, finger style is important but you should be able to play with a pick as well because otherwise you're simply limiting yourself. I bet you hate slap as well.
>>678376408
you'd be wrong, i love slap, jazz, all aspects of it, but the range for most guitars these days goes down to bass range, we hold down the low end. i also play guitar, piano, and have a large vocal range, if you want to play a different instrument learn to play it instead.

>if you want to play a different instrument learn to play it instead.
How exactly is adding a lower string to my BASS changing it into a different instrument? Especially when 5 string basses (both in BEADG and EADGC) have been around for literally over a hundred years.
>>678377529
using a pick on a 5 string bass fundamentally changes the tone. it's also just stupid. good job.

I'm on your side this time, anon-kun.
>>678378320
You got 2 replies out of me, good job. Have fun shitposting.
Anyone else get pains in their forearm and stiffness in their fingers when they play? sometimes my fingers even sieze in the middle of playing. I always warm up and stretch my fingers before sitting down and playing but I always get these pains... Stopped playing for about 5 months now because of it, had to quit a band. Feels real fucking shite..

Fun and a good challenge for a beginner.
Anyone in the 661 area want to join my band cause like our bass player is absolute shit but nobody else around here plays bass sooo...
It's Egyptian math rock btw

How low/high did you have your bass? Having your bass hang low may look fool but it's actually terrible in terms of ergonomics. The same goes for sitting down without using a strap, unnecessary strain on your arms because you have to hold the bass. It should basically be strapped to your chest/upper stomach all the time, no matter if you sit or stand.
play the seinfeld opening
Chokehold(cocked and loaded) by Children of Bodom, idk why it's just the first song that popped into my head
>>678379783
Always had it up high, stomach area and when I sit I always have a strap on.. it came about all of a sudden, I could play 3 gigs in a week, then one practice i just got the worst pains and my right hand just cramped up
>>678380100
Did you ignore discomfort/pain before it happened? If it was "sudden" then that sounds like tendonitis.

Nice. "Don't take me alive" has great baseline also.
