Shake the earth with deep, sonorous vibrations. Be the force that relentless drives the music. Rumble like the ominous thunder of an approaching storm. For you, it's not enough just to be heard; you need to be felt, too. You need to play bass.
Imagine your favourite music without bass. It doesn't work, does it? The bass is the heartbeat of the music, the foundation for the groove, and the glue holding together all the different instruments. You can hear the music sing as it's carried along by the bass groove. You can hear the music come to life. You can feel the vibrations of the low notes- sometimes subtle and caressing, sometimes literally earthshaking- as they propel the song. The bass is the heart.
Leave center stage to the other musicians- you have more important work to do. The limelight may be cool, but bassists rule!
:DDD
