Unpopular opinion: most bassists are better in guitar than the guitarists in their first band.

As a guitarist i agree my bassist is awesome

And the drummers are always the best songwriters 😂

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

Incorrect, most people just put the shitty guitar player on bass and we end up with an epidemic of shitty bass players. Sucks too, because guitar needs bass to fill in the low end.

Guitar players discovers bass: what is this guitar? Ohhh, a long, four string electric guitar.

More like. Guitar players discovers bass: “This is a pretty cool bass.” Can we please stop dunking on both bassists and guitarists, both instruments are cool as fuck. Stop it. It’s not funny. It’s fucking annoying.

[@tristencoon8198]

​@@ZorrotheArtist and you commenting on everything is annoying. My friend told me they had a six string bass so I thought she actually meant a six string bass nope it ended up being an electric guitar when she sent me a picture. My stepmom though my friends guitar was a bass. It's like how can people not tell the difference

[@ZorrotheArtist]

@@tristencoon8198 So then the people you know, don’t know what the fuck a bass and a guitar look like. So like, don’t try and act like the people you know not knowing what the difference is, is some kinda universal thing, because it’s not.

But tbh the lowest on a guitar isn’t low at all

[@beidouvirus3978]

And that's why E standard sucks and I tune down, oh yeahhhh

[@tjenadonn6158]

That's why you buy a seven string.

[@ZorrotheArtist]

Well the point of a guitar isn’t really to go low unless you’re playing like Metal or something, it’s point is more so for chords, power chords, riffs, and solos with higher notes. Whilst the bass can do the same stuff but is for the lower notes. Meaning that they both serve a different role and are both equally valuable.

[@beidouvirus3978]

​@@ZorrotheArtist but see, the bass also isn't low enough. E1 as the lower limit just doesn't hit right, especially when you consider that C2 upwards also doesn't carry much weight anymore. So what, now you don't even have a whole octave of real B A S S notes?? As such, get a 5 string bass, get a 7 string or a baritone guitar to match it, and go to work.

[@joshwestlake375]

@@Juan2Steezy lol wtf are you talking about. The low string on a bass is an e and so is the 8string when it's in drop tuning. Only difference is string gage, scale length and tuning. Meaning you can play any bass riff on an 8 string with the right scale length and string gage and it will sound EXACTLY THE SAME. better yet get a bass Amp and YOU especially wouldn't even know the difference.

Request: POV: electric bassist discovers acoustic bass

[@ElCursed]

that's not true at all, maybe if person is a beginner on both instruments, but given the time even if bassist picks up guitar for the first time he will play with chords, the stereotype of bassist playing basslines on guitar is growing old. And the chances are that player owns both instruments just focuses on bass more.

😅 when i started playing guitar i always tuned down to C. Ive now settled a little higher at D standard

[@selfactualizer2099]

Guitars stregnth is in rock and metal, with distortion. Distortion inflates their ego. Even in most jazz bands you dont see a guitar. You only see jazz guitar in quiet calm settings (for the most part) because its just too soft to cut through the other loud jazz instruments, To add, i groove hard, i make bodies move, guitars dont do that like i do, Guitars just yell, bassists make a song danceable
