Notes_Norton Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As a bass 'doubler' I believe a bassist should always play something that works with the drummer, supports the song, adds tasty licks when appropriate and never competes with whoever is singing or playing the melody. Although sax is my primary instrument, I played bass full-time during the psychedelic era when nobody wanted to hire a sax player. Before and after that, I really enjoy doubling on bass. IMO the guy in the video is overplaying and just showing off, but I must add, there is nothing wrong with that either. Notes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I play just juan note. Am. For those that don't know, I invented the Am bass note. It takes care of everything. No need for slappin, or trying to be a lead guitarist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was cool with the playing part , I just didn't like having to lug around a refrigerator sized amp up and down 4 flights of stairs . Yes he does show off a bit ...I do like his sense of humor and love the way he plays .. On 8/24/2021 at 2:08 PM, Bapu said: I invented the Am bass note. It takes care of everything.
