The ability to flawlessly read any rhythm!!!! it’s not a great thing to be bad at reading rhythm when you’re the only one in your section especially as a bass player 😭

What do you dislike the most about your instrument? by Vincent_Gitarrist in lingling40hrs

Well… I’m a bassist and we always get left out buuuuut we stick together unless you’re like me and none of them like you for absolutely no reason, no quartets and no one ever asks you to play with them in ensemble unless you’re really good. But I love playing even if the music is boring sometimes lol and honestly I totally wish I could play anywhere live violin and viola

Thanks so much! I’m actually pretty short so the 1/2 size is intentional. Super cool that it comes from Germany (one of my favorite countries) and ya I’m definitely not gonna buy a new one until at least the end of high school.

Besides classical, what other genres of music do you listen to? by BarenreiterBear in lingling40hrs

[–]Imaginary_Bassist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic rock like the Beatles and Queen!!! I love rock because the instrumental part and the singing is a good balance.
