@Komatik_ 2 жыл бұрын
@@pardolagames8994 It's not just that - it's that bands are built around the bass being the low end. If the bass moves up (and it can't go very far up, mind you), there really isn't room for higher-pitched instruments to go to. Most definitely can't dive below the bass and start providing the the groove while the bassist pretends he's the guitarist. The keys probably can, but forget about most other common band instruments. People play really muted, still things during bass solos for good reason. But because the bass stops doing the job it is in the band for, the music just has to sit still, the drive's gone and it won't go back until someone goes back to the lowest octaves, and most can't. It's usually just the bass and keys that can. Secondly, the bass's sound itself is very mellow and unobtrusive, which makes it extra hard. Stuff like distorted guitars can drown it easily if they're playing in a similar pitch range. The rest of the instruments have to get out of the bass's way in two different ways unless the bassist dials in a solo-specific tone that can cut through a bit. To get some idea of the difficulties, go to axln.github.io/guitar-piano-layout/build/ Seeing the linear sound space of the keyboard and the bass/guitar necks at the same time really helps visualize some of the issues.

This happened to me once. Singer shouted "and now... the bass solo!" and then the damn band stopped playing. I went for slow wibes with delay and then did this mad tapping "filler" to the end and finalized it all by randomly raising my fist in the air and yelling "AYYYY!" to the mic so people knew what to do! It wasn't as painful as in this video but still a damn sticky situation to be thrown into and I'm glad I survived with only mental scars of abandonment and loneliness. :D

That's exactly why I love Joy Divison and New Order so much. In most of the songs the bass is more important than the guitar and bass solos are almost guaranteed. Peter Hook is an absolutely amazing bass player and he has a very unique style of playing bass which enhences the dominance of the bass in those bands. It also raised my awareness how bad bass players are treated in most of the modern bands. A bass is not an instrument of the backround, it's an anchor to the overall sound of a song.

Brian Setzer Orchestra came here a few years back and they had like a 5 minute dueling stand up bass battle in the middle of a song full of accompaniment. Setzer jumped off stage and sat in the audience and watched the battle. When he got back on stage and the battle ended the place erupted. He goes, "That's the first time our bassists got that much love from an audience... I don't think I can top that... do you want to hear some more?!" And we watched another 1-2 minutes of it. Probably the only time I've seen the band pay full respect to a bass solo/battle and it was absolutely epic (sorry Davie504... it's the right word here).

It is really sad that bass is usually underestimated and it doesn't get the love it deserves. The fact that the bass is barely heard - or not at all - because of the music mixing in studio albums also add to it.

So I'm I supposed to ignore those awesome bass sounds during the keyboard one note part? Cause the bass made that possible.
@CharlesBerthoud 3 жыл бұрын
That's pretty much the message of the video - it's easier to play an awesome sounding solo when there's a band behind you playing interesting rhythms, harmonies etc. When it's time for the bass solo, sometimes just the drummer plays behind the bassist or he has to go completely alone.

When I first started playing I really wanted to do cool bass solos but as I've gone on I care more about just being in time and the occasional fill. More fun to just groove then take a 5 minute bass solo haha

I miss solos. They are indulgent, but fun. I remember seeing a group in 10th grade in a school dance. The drummer soloed and took off his t-shirt and didn't miss a beat. I'm still impressed by that.

I just noticed that for most of the video when the whole band is in frame the bassist is just halfway out of the frame. Signifying that Bass is less appreciated than other instruments. This would eventually become a running gag and immediately sends Bassists and any musician who appreciates Bass into a fit of rage and depression
