What makes the perfect bassist /mu/?
having a degree from meme school
Looking like a horse
having only 4 strings
not slapping it
not trying to play it like a guitar
basically just do your fucking job and don't try to show off
>>61954462
How does one acquire said degree?
>>61954469
I came in to post basically this
just restring your shit when your old strings are worn out jesus fuck people
being named Brian Gibson, Mike Watt, or David Wm. Sims
Can start playing on "and".
A surprisingly rare skill.
>>61954469
this pretty much. Nothing wrong with 5-string tho, if you're playing jazz or something like that.
Also, not tapping it
>>61954469
nothing wrong with some good slapping. not every 14 year old fag going at it like a jackhammer though.
being marcus miller is a good start
>>61954469
buttmad guitarist who can't handle nobody is going to care about his instrument 10~ years from now.
>>61954469
5 string basses can be quite useful though
Use a pick
Put a shiny thingy over the pickup
Spit on the audience
>>61956681
you can play everything you can play ona 4 string on a 5 string but not the other way round. it just adds more possibility
Be truly amazing and beautiful. Marta is more then that.

This but for guitarists
Just do your fucking shitty skank riffs while I actually make the song good
>>61957119
she's a shitty bassist with zero groove and feel
Have a minivan.
Be able to sing backing vocals somewhat alright.
>>61954458
always has weed on hand and is willing to share
>>61957190
Lets see what you can do, you white piece of shit.
>>61957234
i'm a lot better than her. but that still doesn't make her groove any better lmao.
>>61957263
You're the kind of nigger that just stands there fingering low E on a shitty Squire jag bass. You're tits aint shit either.
Beard and M.Gira in the band.
>>61957273
Please I have a one of a kind custom made bass by someone you won't even know. I also own a 81' hagstrom and about to buy a fender select. And my tits are great too.
>>61957134
>skank
>good
Try harder. As a guitarist AND bassist I find your comment hilarously one sided and dumb.
>>61957297
Shit, I meant Ska not Skank
>>61957273
what's wrong with squier jag basses
On which sites can I learn how to play the bass lads
>>61957216
That'd be the drummer, friend.
>>61957602
torrents
>>61957314
I play grime influenced reggae, not ska
not being entirely drunk all the time
>In two highly influential bands where the bass is integral to the sound of the band
>Seems like a funny and chill guy
>Prefers touring and respects the entire back catalogue from his history, not just playing the same set list for 10 years
Based Hooky
>>61954469
I mostly agree, but bass players should have room to show off every once in a while. If guitar players are showing off, the bass player should get to show off. just not too much.
just try to be John Wetton as much as you can

you wanna hurt me? :(
>>61958681
repeating other people is what children do when they are throwing a tantrum. I will now stop replying to you while you calm down.
>>61958628
>do you have autism?
Aren't you the one who is trying to say what music should or shouldn't be?
>>61954458
The perfect bassist is as important to the music as the guitarist
He doesn't just follow guitar patterns, you can actually hear him, and he doesn't wank the guitar.
Most classic 70's prog bassists were excellent at doing their job.

Be real, les Claypool is the best

Catchy chromatic line
