church bassists, where do you get your inspirations? (besides god, that is :lol: )
but seriously, we've never heard the original version of most of the songs we play, we're left to our own devices and it's pretty freeplay. so it's up to us bassist to make the songs interesting.
i'm not such a good bassist when it comes to free jams, that's why i oh, hate :evil: my drummer so much because he's so dam good at pulling off fancy drum beats (in other words: he shiok sendiri :lol: hehe..) makes me look like an idiot for not able to keep up with him.. but that's my weakness.he changes beat almost at every new verse of the song and it takes me some time to understand his new beat pattern, and just when i make sense of it he changes again. arrgh so frustrating!
so do you:
1. pay attention to the drum beat or
2. keep your own timing and play your own stuff?
i belive drum beats and bass lines go together. so if the drummer and the bassist have it their own way (although same timing) then the song would be a tradegy
guys please share your experience..
