Bass is that sweet spot between harmony and rhythm. I'm a percussionist primarily and I honestly would've never been able to pick up any other instruments had it not been for learning bass.

It can be the greatest part of any ensemble, while at the same time it can be the worst... really depends on the musician.

great thread, anyone wanna talk about their personal equipment ??

>>717418688
Currently playing a cort b5 plus open pore mahogany. It's done me well so far

>>717410577
Dubs acknowledged. Good ol' Cliff- never played an unnecessary note in his life.

>>717418891
nice never played a cort before but know they are quality.
i have a few basses, fender fretless jazz, peavey grind 6 and my best bass is my ibanex k5 fieldy signature (1st active bass)

i just recently picked up a fretless wishbass from ebay and its cool but needs work lol.

>>717417006
I know, right. Boston is probably a "harder" band than KISS.

>>717418688
Fender Precision Bass with a Peavey Mark VIII head, and a custom 2x15" cab with Peavey Black Widow speakers. Used to belong to my grandpa.

>>717419719
Also, the bass has Seymour Duncan PJ active pickups. The crazy bastard carved up the body just to put in the bridge pickup.

>>717411643
Well Geddy also did main vocals and synth while playing bass. Not to mention his double headed bass/guitar

>>717419719
nice man i have a gk700 head with a typical ampeg 4x10 cab. you mentioned your grandpa i forgot i have a tube fender bassman full stack some where in storage id like to play soon. great tone.

>>717419834
lmao how do the pj pickups sound now, monstrous ha?

>no jazz bassists

being this much of a fucking normie

>>717419953
Sounds great, but he fucked up the wiring. I had to fix it myself, and now the neck pickups don't work because they haven't been played in 15 years. Other than that, it sounds fantastic. I plan on buying a new body and pickups, and restoring it completely.

It's definitely not the best genre for making it shine, but metal bass isn't totally horrible. That bass solo near the beginning of Hammer Smashed Face is one of my favorites.

This won't be for everyone, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWrHFKWS028

>>717427585
My dream bass. Actually I'd rather have an Alembic, but there's no way I'll ever afford one. A German Warwick is something I can reasonably afford to save up for, and they are still pretty fucking amazing. Of course, I'm pretty satisfied with my relatively cheap Ibanez GSR 400. I bought it used for $175. It was my first bass and the one I still love playing the most.

>>717414836
This ain't even a bass dude
