agrees with zero_g...
hey dexian, bass doesnt turn off girls leh! i've heard lots say that the bass is actually more soulful (isnt that what the decent, good and adorable girls go for?) and the groove and thump can be more exhilarating than an electric shred solo!
had that response quite a few times when i played Glass Prison (Dream Theater) for a few friends who haven't heard any DT songs. lol.
Worst responses to bass i've had:
"why your guitar string so thick, n so big one?"
it's a SIX STRING BASS la!
"bass where got six string one! dun bluff me!"
-_-
(after listening to my band's demo)
"cool! what do you play?"
2nd bass. hear all those effects sounds? yeah.
"why need 2 bass. only need one what."
i didnt say need.
"then? waste your time..."
-_-
"hey why u play so many notes one..."
bass can only play one note meh? who say one?
"u hear radio all those songs, all liddat wad..."
-_-
Best response:
"play that again! (stu hamm's bass solo after JS's Love Thing) omg! i didnt know you can do that!"
=)
"the glass prison intro is done on BASS?"
yeah.
"o.o oh. even the bell sound?"
yeah.
"O 8O "
