I play Bass as a hobby, started out playing upright in school, now I just tinker around on a bass guitar.
But I don't feel inspired or like I'm getting any better. I want to be able to write bass lines for other parts and record stuff, but don't play any other instrument well. What should I do?
Here's a shitty thing I recorded on my phone.

you might familiarize yourself with the concept of a "band"
it's when several people who can't play every instrument gather and play together

Yeah, but I don't have many friends and don't know anyone to form a band with.

hate to be that guy, but you don't even play bass well. that bassline's weak, super basic indiecore stuff, and i'm pretty sure it's mostly ripped off some Arctic Monkeys song or other.
just practice bass, listen to lots of different music for inspiration, and learn guitar. Guitar will almost certainly help your bass playing.

If you listen to Rush you'll get better at the bass. It's essentially the same as practicing

it's a good line, he just needs to practice more
>>

he'll also get better at learning how to be a godawful songwriter

you literally don't know what you're talking about. Go back to your I-IV-V Cmaj songs kid when you move on to the next level you can try to play subdivisions

Stop playing electric bass. Play upright instead. It's way better.

Listen to later Jimi Hendrix stuff with Billy Cox
>>
>>61984833
just play with a band
it's fun
and everyone needs a bassist

Go the oldschool way and post an ad in either print or craigslist.
