If you play in a 4 piece (2 guitars, Bass and Drums) and you have a good fully functioning rhythm guitarist, then it's OK to play simple and basic.
BUT if you play in a power trio format (guitar, Bass and Drums), then the Bass might have to play busy-ly lah, more active Basslines, ie look at The Who, Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath, Bass dia berbunga bunga and melodic, to cover the empty spaces due to the lack of a rhtyhm guitarist or keyboardist to fill in the empty sonic spaces.
I myself try to be in between, to lock in with the groove, at the same time put my signature stamp by adding in some melodic basslines. |

yeah.......right on.
i think that Steffan Lessard guy from Dave Matthews Band is a good bass player. He plays minimal addictive basslines. when he is given chance to go wild, he'll go like a supercharging train.
i think the hardest challenge of being a bass player is to not be overplaying, at the same time being n'sync (whoohoo justin justin) with the drummer and to come up with something swinging and groovay.......at least from where i m standing.....

| Dengar lagu from the Beatles called Something from the album Abbey Road, you'll see how skillful Paul McCartney is in writing melodic Basslines |

Alright guys, i need some advice here... i'm getting myself a new budget bass this weekend (or maybe next weekend)... so any sugestions? price range is below RM 800.
this is what i've tested at Woh Fatt, with the exact same color, it's kinda cool... Brand SX (Essex). Features: ringan, string-spacing rapat, easy playing... harga around RM850 (negotiable) ... for more details, click here...
at the same time, ada 5-string, harga lebih kurang jugak, brand SX also...
kat Bentley pulak ade Falcon 5-string bass going for RM450!!
mane satu nak pilih nih?
5 string ke, 4 string??
help me! help me!

kalau aku...memang aku angkat yang 5-string....more tonal possiblities...more 'colour' to play with...aku pun tengah hunting for a bass guitar ni.... Yamaha RBX nampak macam tasty...tapi mahal...hmnnn Brand SX tu cun jugak deadzid! Murah pun murah!!
Aku dah check specification SX 5 string tu...Wah!! Alder body, with Bubinga top, Active Pickups(Switchable to Passive) hmnnn sounds good to me!!
Kena cari kat UK ni!!!! mesti murah gila....woohooo kalau ade laaa...

err.. sorry ada technical error sikit... actually 5-string yg kat atas tu bukan SX, tapi Brice... aku pon baru perasan... tapi hari tu memang aku ade test SX 5-string, lebih kurang camtu la bentuk dia.... just tambah RM 30 je from that SX 4-string punya price!
Aku ada baca some review pasal SX nih, memang ramai yg berpuas hati dan banyak positive review yg aku baca! Just because it's "Made in China" and the name is not popular, doesn't mean that it's not good!
Anyway, aku ada mintak tolong sorang bassist ni utk test kan bass2 yg aku nak beli nanti.. heheh just wait and see! Thanx for your suggestion Ridzi.
