Agreed. <3
I've played bass (not every day of course) since like the 8th grade.
I'm alright, but it's just a fun instrument in general. :]
Without a bass, bands would be nothing. Without bass, music would sound like poo sending all music lovers into pits of despair, eventually they would come to our doors begging us to play in bands and we would make them pay us money. Mwahahahahahahahaha. That's my plan for the world.
I'm very meh at bass, but I have been playing for 5 years so I'm at least okay.
So basically all blues music is poo? I don't know about you but when blues music first started, I'm pretty sure a bass wasn't there. Lets look at timelines:
Bass Guitar: Created 1930 but didnt become popular till 1950.
Blues: Created..a long tim before 1930, but I guess you can say it didn't really form till around 1900-1910
So if you say that music is poo without the bass guitar, then I guess 20-30 years of music is a waste and some other genres don't use a base too.
Guitar players were the ones getting the recognition and someone decided that six strings were too many so they cut it down to four. Bass players wanted attention to so they begged to be let into the band :).
Without guitars, the base wouldn't even exist. So bass players that think the bass is the best thing ever and think of it all high and mighty, can go back to their lonely little corner :).
