The Bass Zone / When is a bass not bass?
« on: December 31, 2014, 09:15:31 PM »
I'm going to have to agree with one of the comments below the article which says, in effect, if a bass isn't holding the bottom, if it's losing the groove, it isn't bass. It's just telling people you can play lead guitar on big strings.
With a few exceptions (such as Hendrix,) lead guitar solos bore me out of my mind. Why should I want to listen to someone trying to do the same thing for bass? Something which a bass really isn't designed for, I might add.
