I used to play guitar in a metal band and we auditioned 4 bassist at one point, NONE of which had their own bass amp. You wanna stand out? Buy a bass amp. One dude didn’t own a bass anymore and had to borrow mine, and another just didn’t feel like bringing his bass to the audition cause he wanted to ride his motorcycle.

[@geraldfriend256]

[@effess8698]

@@geraldfriend256 In my experience vocalists are the worst for this. It seems like the majority of them don't own even a decent microphone. How on earth are you going to be the singer in my band if you don't have anything to sing through...

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

Last audition I did, I knew the tunes better than their drummer Had to lend the singer my microphone I bought to do BVs They had been in hiatus for 6 months, and were a little under prepared.

[@NcessNasya]

Where was the audition took place tho?? Can't you just let the auditionees use the amps from the music studio you were using back then?

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

Maybe they didn’t want to fork out the $10 extra for the amp hire.

[@billhare]

Haha, reminds me of a time just over 40 years ago - I had majored in jazz performance on bass (which at that time meant playing like Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorius), but really wanted to be a studio musician. I then was recommended to Carol Kaye by one of my professors, and she took me on as a student and mentored me for a few months. At our first sitting, she said "Let's hear your style - play something"... Having had some good chops training by that point, I showed off a bit. She said "oh, that's pretty good - and no one will ever pay you to do that! I'm going to show you how to appreciate half and whole notes again." I learned more in those 4 months than I had in my years of education and playing that came before it.

[@marksasahara1115]

That's very cool that she taught you! Carol Kaye, also a contender for Sexiest Behs.

[@scottdaugherty8065]

Sexy Behs....

[@mitsanut5869]

Yeah. The beauty was, is and always will be in simplicity, i.e. in take the complex and trim it down to simple ideas that can be understood by wider audience. It's valid in every form of arts, sports and in many other aspects of life. Don't get me wrong - being able to play complex stuff has it's own value but you'll very seldom get very far with it. Even so-called sophisticated listeners eventually get tired of all that sophistication and will end up preferring AC/DC over ELP.

So I am a guitar player who also plays bass. I get asked to play bass often because 90% of the time I just keep it simple and play root notes. While I know it's boring I focus on having the best tone that I can have and I lock in with the drummer, that's why I get offers. Again, I am a guitar player but being a "Bass-ic Bitch" keeps me in having options. 😎👍✨

[@khalez1471]

You're just lazy to get really good on bass. Anyone can keep the root note and using it like an excuse. You're not doin' anything special.

[@gringogreen4719]

@@khalez1471 You absolutely missed the point. Bands don't want showboat bass players, they want a bass to lock in with the drums and not to outshine the singers, guitars, and keys. So no. For every bass player who I played with who thought they were Les Claypool, Flea, or Bootsy Collins, they definitely were not. In fact me playing rhythm guitar kept better time then they did. The vast majority of songs do not call for tricky playing either. There's a great saying about a really good bass player is hardly noticed but it's DEFINITELY NOTICEABLE if you don't have a good bass player.

[@khalez1471]

@@gringogreen4719 there is no such a thing called "keep it simple", it's about serving the song. Players like jeff berlin for exemple serve the song but in the same time he's insane. I am talkin' about being in a good band of course with good musicianship.

[@gringogreen4719]

@@khalez1471 Funny on how you double down on being an ass. I'm aware of who is who in the bass playing world but yeah, not a fan of Jeff Berlin. Not everyone likes the same stuff. Go bug someone else.

[@nathanwahl9224]

Thank goodness; in my experience most guitar players get on bass, get bored and start overplaying. Or other nuances of the guitar start coming in. I can almost always tell when listening to bands. YOUR JOB IS THE GROOVE!!! Just remember the role and play what your bass dude would do. Tying the rhythm to the chord structure so everyone knows what song you're playing while the guitar player is doing that guitar thing. The next step is listen to a lot of bass lines and try them. You can leave the roots. Oh, the other important thing; know the bass HOOKS! If there's a particular thing that stands out on a hit, there's a reason it's a hit. Play that, at the very least.
