i play b-ss, im kooler than you
the s-xiest instrument in the world.
mmmm i love my s-xy fender jazz
b-ss guitar
since most people here seem to be ignorant of what a b-ss is:

1) it was not “based off the guitar”, it’s an electric adaptation of the double b-ss which became awkward and increasingly less audible compared to other instruments in the earliest rock/jazz bands.

2) while easier to learn than guitar, it is far far more difficult to master. anyone can sound cool playing the pentatonic scale and power chords over and over; it takes a great more deal of musical skill and talent to be excellent at b-ss.

3) on a related note “anyone who plays guitar can play b-ss by default” is ridiculous. if you have no sense of rhythm and can’t keep a beat, then you can’t play b-ss. h-ll, most guitarists i’ve met can’t even play the b-ss without making the frets buzz their first few times.

4) b-ss is a rhythm instrument, with a deeper more mellow sound. guitar is melodic (or at least mostly used for such). to say b-ss is inferior to guitar is also stupid.

1) the advent of the electric b-ss guitar revolutioned new age music

2) a guitarist can sound “amazing” in just a couple years. i’d like to see anyone learn victor wooten’s cl-ssical thump in just a couple of years.

3) “whoa dude whats wrong with your frets? why are they buzzing??” – guitarist who thinks he can play b-ss

4) have you ever heard a band with two guitarists and no b-ssist? it sounds like a transistor radio
foundation of modern rock bands; person playing it is highly overlooked as a musician although most b-ssists are much cooler//more talented than guitar players

goes great with drums
guitar player: i’m a weak -ss m-f- compared to the b-ssist in our band
(base – gitt – tarr) a musical instrument that’s a hybrid of the upright b-ss (also known as the double b-ss or b-ss violin) and the electric guitar, conveniently combining the low tonal range of the upright b-ss with the portability and playability of the guitar. popularized by models created by leo fender in the 1950s, although he wasn’t the first to manufacture a b-ss & guitar combination.

like the original upright b-ss, b-ss guitars most commonly have 4 thick strings tuned eadg. but extended-range models with five (beadg) or six strings (beadgc) are available too, as are 8 and 12 string models (based off the idea of 12 string guitars).
paul mccartney and sting both play the b-ss guitar.
a four stringed instrument. tuned a octave lower than your normal guitar.
many people overlook the b-ss as being simple but if anyone has any proper knowledge of the b-ss then they know that it is harder than it looks to play.
people may say if u can play guitar u can play b-ss but its not always like that. due to the b-sses heaviness and longer neck it can take a while to get used to!
guitars may be light but b-ss guitars can put up a fight!
an instrument scientifically proven to be s-xy because its low-end frequency range of 30-100 hz corresponds with the frequencies at which v-g-n-s vibrate when s-xually aroused!
jenny felt a slight tingling but increasingly stronger sensation with her v-g-n-, that seemed to correspond as the b-ss guitar solo progressed.
