What's the point in learning bass if you can't play

Idk but sometimes I think bass sounds cool in songs. It's probably fun to play too

To play music with other people?

Anyway, I'm sure there are bassists who've performed and recorded solo music.

what's the point of anything?

>only learning one instrument

What's the point in learning bass when you can just learn guitar instead?

>>71607095
If you can play guitar you can play bass.

>>71607099
but anon, nobody likes a bassist who plays like a guitarist

>>71607176
you don't have to worry about nobody liking you, you're playing alone

>>71607005
It's like double bass but less versatile and extremely boring to play!

>>71607005
To tell girls you play bass. What the fuck nigga?
How the hell did you guys manage to get layd in highschool?

>>71607099
the bass is a much clunkier instrument. I feel like it's physically way easier to move from bass to guitar than vice versa.
>>71607176
what does it even mean to play bass like a guitarist? never heard anyone who does this, unless you count bass solos in general.

it's easy

>step one: learn real guitar

congratulations, you can play bass

Les Claypool is pretty popular though.

and he really doesn't play like a guitarist as much as he plays like a spaz

i learned bass because it's fucking easy, it makes your fingers strong, and it sets you apart from your average chad that knows guitar.

>it sets you apart from your average chad that knows guitar.

yeah, the difference is Chad can play both instruments and you can play one (the shitty one that everyone ignores)

jokes on you, i learned guitar after i learned bass.

I love when people are proud of not paying attention to the music they listen to

It's a sexy, versatile and exciting instrument full of potential for new musical styles and experimentation.

I think bass is fun

all bassists are faggots, I got into a fist fight with the bass player from my last band, he had serious mental issues
