Can I tune my guitar to be a bass?

Why is bass so underrated?

The bass is underrated because it is a support instrument. It is not a “lead” instrument. Bass does not carry the melody, it does not play solos (generally), and does not attract a lot of attention. Bass helps drive the music, along with the drum kit.

When should you use a pick on bass?

If the pick gives you the tone that fits the style, use one. Other styles, like funk, favor fingerstyle playing. Choose the sound, not the technique. Many guitarists converting over to bass tend to stick with using a pick.

Why is bass so important in music?

Simply put, bass is important in music and necessary in a band because it bridges the gap between treble (guitar) and percussion (drums), providing a rhythmic and harmonic function at the same time. Despite the bass frequency’s hidden and subtle sound, it plays a crucial role in a piece of music.

Is loud bass bad for you?

Can bass make you sick?

Is playing bass attractive?

Yes. Very little of what makes musicians on stage attractive to people of the opposite (or indeed the same) sex is about what instrument they play or how good they are at it. It’s mostly about the confidence and swagger they exude and the instruments are merely a prop. However, some instruments do have a problem.
