bass guitar players: "am i a joke to you?"

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bass players come in two flavors:

  • 4 string instrument, changes tuning every song and uses the whole thing
  • 7 string instrument, alternates between two strings for the duration of the song.

Then you have Stig Pedersen in D-A-D who's left-handed and gets his instruments specially made. He decided to only have two strings on those.

It depends. Limp Bizkit tracks like 'Nookie' or 'Full Nelson' that use a 4-string guitar tuned to F# (like the low strings of an 8-string) do a pretty good job of letting the bass breathe despite the guitar's low tuning. Helps that LB has really loud bass. But in modern djent-y metal, yeah kind of - Animals As Leaders doesn't even have a bass player.
