    Haha, reminds me of a time just over 40 years ago - I had majored in jazz performance on bass (which at that time meant playing like Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorius), but really wanted to be a studio musician. I then was recommended to Carol Kaye by one of my professors, and she took me on as a student and mentored me for a few months.
    At our first sitting, she said "Let's hear your style - play something"... Having had some good chops training by that point, I showed off a bit. She said "oh, that's pretty good - and no one will ever pay you to do that! I'm going to show you how to appreciate half and whole notes again." I learned more in those 4 months than I had in my years of education and playing that came before it.

      Yeah. The beauty was, is and always will be in simplicity, i.e. in take the complex and trim it down to simple ideas that can be understood by wider audience. It's valid in every form of arts, sports and in many other aspects of life.
      Don't get me wrong - being able to play complex stuff has it's own value but you'll very seldom get very far with it. Even so-called sophisticated listeners eventually get tired of all that sophistication and will end up preferring AC/DC over ELP.

      You absolutely missed the point. Bands don't want showboat bass players, they want a bass to lock in with the drums and not to outshine the singers, guitars, and keys. So no.
      For every bass player who I played with who thought they were Les Claypool, Flea, or Bootsy Collins, they definitely were not. In fact me playing rhythm guitar kept better time then they did. The vast majority of songs do not call for tricky playing either. There's a great saying about a really good bass player is hardly noticed but it's DEFINITELY NOTICEABLE if you don't have a good bass player.

      Thank goodness; in my experience most guitar players get on bass, get bored and start overplaying. Or other nuances of the guitar start coming in. I can almost always tell when listening to bands.
      YOUR JOB IS THE GROOVE!!!
      Just remember the role and play what your bass dude would do. Tying the rhythm to the chord structure so everyone knows what song you're playing while the guitar player is doing that guitar thing. The next step is listen to a lot of bass lines and try them. You can leave the roots.
      Oh, the other important thing; know the bass HOOKS! If there's a particular thing that stands out on a hit, there's a reason it's a hit. Play that, at the very least.

    When we started 5th Dimension, Ethan was Bassist and I was the only candidate for guitar, but it became difficult because I was too metal. When we got into a Nirvana phase we had to find a vocalist, we tried 4 different contestants until we found Desmond. We expanded from there when another local band "The Early Birds" with Marissa as vocalist and guitarist, Marshall as pianist, Charlie as drummer and Max on electronics. Eventually, we got Chandler for acoustic and Mike for guitar because I got sick of guitar and vocals at the same time. Anyway, that's the modern day band

    Pedal = Reverb and/or Delay
    There’s a lot more to the riff, but it would be a pain in the butt to transcribe every one. Also, I don’t know the amount of Reverb or Delay for the riff.
    BPM = 110

    Played bass for a few years in a pick-up band - when I'd ask if my baseline was working, my bandmates would reply like, "Uh... yeah, sure. You're fine." They weren't even paying attention. Which I suppose meant I was doing my job

    The world’s sexiest bass players are Wakazaemon of East of Eden, closely followed by Yuuki Hirose of Lonesome_Blue and Mina - X Girlfriend. They are also depressingly talented too.

    the ONLY way to master guitar.. base . lead .. or any other string instrument.. is to tune up together and properly .. there is only one person still alive for a bit longer that can tune properly .. and that IS Joe Walsh.. so tune up with good equipment and pay attention to the solid way to tune with and without other band members .. every body on the same key and tone ... even drums ... play on and play hard .. rockin country .. rock n roll .. clasic .. and rember .. overdoing it will damage the sound you need to perform.. God Bless any and all musicians who can and want too .. STAND OUT AS A REAL MUSICIAN. playing and tuning is the key to playing a piano... keybord shows the way to perfection .. JOE WALSH can play anything with strings. Yeah! 😃

    There are many good female bassists in the world but for me the best and most uniquely outstanding is Becky Baldwin from England.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

    Guitarists 'stand out'. We're the power behind the power. But you're right about stage presence. Behs is elegant, BE elegant. You're "only the bassist", but you're a freaking Rock Star, look the part! :)

    That’s the thing about the virtuoso bassist phenomenon… I always think, where the hell would you successfully play that? I mean you could force it but…. What about the song? Writing explicitly for that might be different or a bass solo like a jazz song granted but otherwise? I’ve never heard a song where I thought “damn I wish a 22 string bass would do 8 finger tapping here.”

    Ask Ryan of Mudvayne. Probably the best bassist of his era.
    Honourable mentions to Mushroomhead and Within the Ruins for having amazing base players.

    You can also do a headstand, hold the bass with your legs and play with your teeth.
    That (!) is outstanding. Playing at monkey-like speed is not...

    “Do you want to stand out as bass player?”
    No. I want it only to be noticed if I’m NOT playing and otherwise slip into the subliminal background. You should only perceive me when it’s time to hand out cheques.

    5. BE value-added, by learning how to sing.
    6. BE ready by learning the songs before rehearsal.
    7. Show up early and ready.
    8. Don't be wasted.

    As someone who had to audition bassists for my band: know how to play decently, have some groove, DONT OVERPLAY, and actually move around and be confortable and confident interacting with the audience, if you’re just gonna stand there, while playing the simplest parts of the songs thats a No Go

    Knowing. The fkng. Song. Don’t guess or “feel out” the changes if you’re playing bass. You’ll stand out way more if you play basic, tight, bass line the hits every change dead on, than trying to show someone you can play licks that absolutely nobody cares about.

    Trying to be a stand out is way beyond you pulling up a player that has a good following to only try and match their ability. So if you're doing that you don't deserve a comparison!! Just making a vid to try and match them is BS. Impress me before you match up against them!!

    Doing a half dozen provocative squats in a short cut outfit doesn’t make my list of top stage presence choices. By the way I’m usually not a big fan of Crocs, but you were rockin the pink ones.
