Bassists do it lower

Lead guitarist walks into a pub and (after being asked for ID) goes to the bar.

"2 pints of tasteless lager please barman"

"Why 2 pints?"

"One's for me, the other's for my ego...."

I play in a blues rock band called Sloe Gin.

USA Standard Jazz bass with Tc Electronic amplification.

Drummer dropping in to say that the bass should be up front and in your face, like this....
from 1 minute in


When I play live the bass is what is coming through my monitors and loud out front, when we record, the bass is up front in the mix.......the way it should be!

what do you call somebody who hangs round with musicians?

dad was a drummer , brother was a bass player -me i was a good with creating lights, pyro and fixing things that got broke . which was often when the singer and the 2 other guitarists got all "emotional" about creativity and being stifled . feckin ponces

All this bass talk takes me back to my youth, following the band that was built around the bass player, step forward Mr Mark (thunderthumbs) King of Level 42. Many, many times I have given the legendary chant of "woahhh,woahhh,woah,woah,woah" when he launched into another thumb slapping solo.

Going back to the point of the bass player being the back bone of the band, listen to any of The Jam albums and revel in the genius that was Bruce Foxton. Also Noel Redding of the Jimi Hendrix Experience stands out in my opinion, the lead guitarist wasn't bad either.

Jack Bruce too! Ignore Clapton for a moment and listen to the bass on this track (1.30 onwards)
