Jeff Berlin - Tears in Heaven (!!!!!!!!!) BASS

man ... i wish i can reach there sometime ... =P ... i love this kind of melodic playing .. open doors for really expressive and personal playing ...

what say you guys?? .. do you agree?? ...
 
i'm just happy grooving and laying down the bass for the band man.. and of cus the occasional solo and mind blowing fill-ins!
 
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 "
 
imagine a world without bass... i dun tink i can ever groove to any music anymore if that ever happens.

come on lah if bass isnt improtant, y the hell do clubs and pubs invest in expensive speakers that can make ur heart thump and ur balls vibrate.(reminds me of baybeats. was standing at the front.WOW my balls literally vibratted. haha) and yeah those earphones that can play good low frequency sounds are damn expensive.

anyone need any more reason y bass is impossible to live without? LONG LIVE ALL BASSISTS!!
 
the worst thingS a non-bassist has ever said to me? hmm...

bass useless one.
bass only go dum dum dum...
you dun use ur fingers but u use a pick? lousy la!
bass stand at the back and "connect with drummer nia"
bass so easy, no need skill and talent 1 la!

:?
 
haha yep that's a lot of comments i get from people
although i'm not a bassist.
i do hear my friends saying

"i wan to learn bass"
why
"because it's easier than guitar, just dum dum dum one note one note only"
no lah, bass also got it's own playing technique
"no leh, that's what i saw on superband, so easy one"
-.-"
 
lol look confirm easy.
for me, my dream is be versatile in guitar, bass and drums.
not easy, but will work towards that goal slow-ly 8)
