I disagree, this proves how good this song actually is, go to hip-hop today and take the bass out and I can assure you, you will notice the quality of the artist
Tbh, it kinda proves how important bass is, even if you don't notice. Alot of ppl downplay the important bass and say its a boring and easy instrument.
Imagine this song without the guitar or the drums. That would make more of a difference than without the bass. That’s why I don’t get why ppl r like “omg dude this song sounds completely naked and ruined without the bass”
@@NevertahnProduction In 2003 maybe. Not anymore. A lot of people who aren't familiar with bass mistake it for a guitar. Electric basses aren't that low pitch (synth can be)
Before bass i started on guitar and my friend was teaching me this song and it just sounded so weird, and now that i play pass and looked up this for practice it made a lot of sense, thank god for bassists
So I was thinking about trying to learn either the guitar or the bass guitar and I searched for videos without bass and their comparison with bass. I found this one, and my guesses were right; bass is truly an important instrument to make music sound more vivid. My dad said that bass was useless and of course, I disagreed with him. He knows a bit of music so I obviously wasn't expecting him to say that. Anyways I'm still having a really hard time choosing between those two instruments. Besides from the standart differences, I also want you to note that I played the violin from age 7 to 9, and I am now 14, although I sometimes refresh my abilities with the instrument. I would love to play in a band. Guitar is maybe very over-played so the bass is a much safer path. Not many people recognize bassist though, and a lot of bands us MIDI bass. I can answer your question and at least help me decide because I like both instruments with very little no to preference whatsoever. Thank you
3 weeks ago, I asked my dad to teach me bass. Now, I might be in a band with some friends. We need a guitarist and a singer though. (We have a drummer and a pianist already)
You know if a band is good by removing the bass and seeing how it affects the song. The best bands compose with every instrument in mind, not just to fuel the guitarist or singer's ego
omg it feels so empty !!! it really feels like something is wrong…bass is my favourite instrument now no joke…it makes the song the SONG. i can’t belive people diss the bass and why bass is such an underrated instrument. it has a wide spectrum on diffrent kinds of play styles and it such a important instrument.

This is so weird. It's like my brain knows there should be a bass and expecting it to be present but there's nothing. Song still sounds good but you can obviously tell something's not right. I think most of Nirvana's songs are held together by the bass. On In Utero it's harder to hear the bass imo but still very vital
I can still hear the bass in my head
Whattt me to its so weird
Me too xd
_Space Sheep_ i just thought i had schizophrenia
Idem ahhahahahah
The bass drum sounds like bass that’s why for me
bass is the lowkey glue that holds these songs together and connects the guitars with the drums. This is a perfect example of that.
actually krist novoselic tried to get the drums and guitar toghether haha, that's why you feel it that way
watch the version of this without drums all the instruments are needed for this to work
@@Subvivthyeah obviously but bass is extremely underrated in terms of how important it is to a song
Honestly that is really helped me cuz I did want to practice base and this is one of the best songs to practice on on bass for me
When they say that BASS is useless but in the end it is fundamental:
it feels like the song is naked
it is lol
I disagree, this proves how good this song actually is, go to hip-hop today and take the bass out and I can assure you, you will notice the quality of the artist
Tbh, it kinda proves how important bass is, even if you don't notice. Alot of ppl downplay the important bass and say its a boring and easy instrument.
I feel like music with all the other instruments is still great when you’re just imitating the bass, but without the real bass, it’s weak.
Next time someone disses bassists show them this.
That’s the reason I came here lol
lol that's why I'm here in the first place
Still sounds good to me

through a phone or laptop speaker, the bass is the first to go, so removing the bass really doesnt matter for the average listener

It does not sound good without bass but really good for practice
this is super useful for practicing
where are the notes in the picture
Unavailable House it’s if u already know the song, and u wanna play with the song but without bass
2:53 it hits even stronger if youre playing along
Listening to this I feel like I’m a bassist in the middle of the stage but when it was my time to start playing I got nervous and just froze
I’m sorry man, it gets easier the more you preform and you get more used to it. Sorry you had to go through that
he didn't say he actually did this he's saying he feels like that's what it is@@kmakesmusic7890
Smells like teen spirit if Lars Ulrich mixed it
underrated
Rip Jason Newsted
@@TheLucidDreamer12 HE FOCKING LEFT THE BAND
Lmao
*Smells like scary realm.*
the bass fills all the emptyiness in the song (or band)
Thats basically the purpose of bass is to fill in gaps, also yes without krist they would be dry and humorless as hell
No bass = not using your left hand while playing piano. It just doesn't work
What emptinessc
Sound like bunch of kids first trying to cover a song hahaha
And the kid that has been playing bass for 5 years tries to help them but they think bass isnt imprortant
*after hearing the song*
Dave: Whats happening Kurt?
Kurt: Something is bad, something is wrong, something IS NOT OK.
Kurt: Where is Krist!?
@@videosmediocres2130 Shit, Lars got him
the amount of people in the comment section who dont seem to care or cant even hear the difference frightens me as a bassist :/

Me personally, I chose bass and got good at it, and got a guitar a year or two later. Don't regret my chpice
@@pasta7650 Not a bad choice!
Bass, it's much easier to find a band that needs a bassist vs bands that need a guitarist
3 weeks ago, I asked my dad to teach me bass. Now, I might be in a band with some friends. We need a guitarist and a singer though. (We have a drummer and a pianist already)
The ausence of bass is more notable than his presence
It's crazy how Nirvana had so much impact with only two members.
I still hear the bass in my head but I don't feel it
Feels empty, as the music had lost its power.
This is the simplest example why do bass is important
this is NOT epic
Davie 504?
Is that a Davie reference
@@elizabeth-zy5pm I see you're a man of a culture as well.
Helper that would be correct
@@malta9726 wise choice
This is perfect, I'm gonna surprise the crap out of the kids in my class when I get my bass out for talent show. Take that for a quiet kid.
Did it go well?
@@n.s.2690 sadly wasn't able to because I had to go online and I moved schools :(
Well, at least you were prepared and about to try, so that counts; hope for next time, peep
Rock on!😝🤘🏽
This proves every instrument is important
Now I have to get a new pair of headphones since these ones are covered in blood.
Smells like Justice For All
Sounds sooo raw
sounds like a band practice but the bassist is late 😂
i had no idea Bass wuz that important in a song turns out all instruments are important and only work wen they are in harmony
thanks for the music it helps me in my videos
0:24 ouch
This song is the perfect example of how important bass really is

Really helpful thanks
It's like the music version of mashed potatoes. 🤔
Bass is like a salt in our food.
Hell yeah dude thanks for this
Bass is the body
When Krist fails his basstoss so now they have to play without him
sounds cold and corporate
gonna show this to my friend that thinks bassists aren’t important
Superhero bassist are coming!!!

"smells like teen spirit whitout bass ain't smells like teen spirit"
- a wise nirvana fan
This song went from teen spirit to demon spirit 😂
What is the low frecuencie that i hear in the chorus? The guitar?
The bass is not entirely cut out
when you miss the notes in guitar hero
Smells Like Teen Spirit, but Krist couldn't make it to the recording session.
The bass is the most important instrument in rock music or just music as a whole
I can hear the bass in my head,but only in the chorus
The sound feels empty without bass :|
Sounds better than without drums
In my opinion guitar and drums are more important than bass
@@joao29828 I guess but the bass is useful too

This is why we need krist
Ok I get it now. Dayumm it makes a diff!
My music taste is so bad i find this good
I can see Kurt and Dave looking around trying to find out where the fuck Krist went lol
without the bass it feels like all the instruments just run over each other and get overshadowed
A can of paint without the paint
really the song plays as itself someone need which tied them really strong
"Smell Like Spirit"
I always wished the white stripes had a bass in there songs
Im convinced that every bassless video has to have at least a few ajfa jokes

Bass is like eyebrows you only notice it when they are gone. But when it is gone, it's vile.
I dont have bass so i used my electric guitar to play, was it illegal?
Play bass to it in 1.25 speed and you’ve got ur self a challenge
doesnt sound that bad tbh, i dont understand these comments. of course the bass makes it better but this still has a lot of soul, i like it :)
thank you :)
