Look, if the frontman would just loosen the purse strings a little bit, I could afford to buy a much better bass while I continue to starve.

Me at 14 trying to recreate my favorite palm-muted metal strumming patterns from songs I know: “what the hell why does their shit sound so good and thumping and my shit sounds like AM radio static in a tin can?”

Me, many many years later: “BASS! IT WAS ALL MISSING THE FUCKING BASS!”

A song without bass is like a glass without water or something like that

It took a while as a guitarist/keyboard player just learning and starting out to realize how fundamental it is. I kept trying to turn up the low end of things in the mixer in my software to compensate without realizing what I was missing.

I’ve only recently really started to appreciate notcing the bass in music. It’s an underdog no one seems to respect :(

I didn’t listen to bass untill I become one

Now 99% of the reason why I like certain songs is because of the bass

Thundercat is a master at the base who really opened my eyes to their unappreciated percussive role in music.
