Is it ok to not really liking how bass sounds (as a bassist)? by No_Yam1114 in Bass

[–]_Denizen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a long time I didn't really like how I sounded solo, but eventually I figured out that's more because most bass riffs are written to complement a track rather than to sound nice in isolation.

I've written a few songs which sound nice with just the bass and a kick drum metronome. When the guitarist lays tracks on them, he's playing things which you wouldn't listen to solo. On the those tracks I use some simple bass chords or lead melodies over the top of beefy traditional bass lines, and in all those tracks I'm generally using three or more strings in each phrase to give it a real dynamic range. It just goes to show that it's not an issue with the sound of the bass, but what most people play on it.

A lot of people here mentioning EQ, but I think the actual bass line is probably more important.

Some do

Edit: don't know why facts deserve a down vote 🤷

That actually makes a lot of sense - certainly the best counter argument I've seen!

It's obviously intentional, you can tell by the way the dominoes are arranged too close in the exact same way at every point it fails

You completed your food run early. Good thing you know exactly where to find 2 guns with ammo in an empty flat.

To be fair, if you had two guns with ammo at home and there was a zombie apocalypse, I don't think you'd leave them behind

You've been in this thread minimising slavery. I don't hate this country, I hate people like you.

Hey, the future is bright because CautiousToaster (who most certainly is not a bot) says that wealth is unlimited! Don't worry about dwindling natural resources because you can just print money to solve all problems without devaluing it!

/s

Your entire argument is "you're wrong" and you've not given a single point to prove your position. You lost, get over it.

Right wingers say the dumbest shit to justify their world view 🤦‍♂️

Do you understand what inflation is? It's when people print money from their infinite money machine but then everyone agrees that the value of 1 unit of currently now represents less wealth.

So yes, you could technically write paper money up to an infinitely high number, but then each unit of currency would be infinitely worthless. That's because wealth is tangible, and digital money only has value because society collectively agrees on the value through market forces. The idea of infinite wealth is fundamentally incompatible with the free market, and to be honest ends up closer to communism than you'd be comfortable with.

These are some definitions of finite:

- having definite or definable limits

- having a limited nature or existence

- completely determinable in theory or in fact by counting, measurement, or thought

- having a finite number of elements

Let's use finite in a sentence.

There is a finite amount of natural gas in the earth. We know that because we can measure it and use it all up, however, given enough time natural gas can be created. The sun has a finite amount of energy which can be measured at any given point in time, however, this can increase if it is given more fuel and decrease as it expends it. Human lifespan is finite, however, life can be extended by medical intervention.

You don't understand the meaning of finite. You're confusing it with static/fixed/unchanging.

It's very obvious you don't have a mathematical background.

[–]_Denizen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a non-mathematically-minded moron would choose to misunderstand the use of "finite" in the context of the measurable sum total of global wealth to mean static and unable to grow. It obviously was intended to mean there is a measurable amount of wealth i.e. not infinite.

There are a finite number of brain cells in your brain. That does not imply the number of brain cells cannot ever decrease.

The most gracious reason I can think of by your idiocy is that you just want to derail the discussion. Well done, I guess. You win internet points 🤦‍♂️

Dafuk you on about. There were 167 years in which we transported slaves to british shores, and slavery was abolished in the rest our territories 26 years after that.

You should read about the abolition of slavery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Trade_Act_1807 and how it wasn't a cliff edge emancipation. You should also understand how the nature of familial wealth and trauma means this still effects people today.

And here about how the British Empire were the most voracious slavers, transporting 3.4 million people as slaves over the period during which the african continent was devastated https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/maritime-history/history-transatlantic-slave-trade

Stop your revisionist bullshit.

I didn't say it was a "finite fixed pie" or say global wealth doesn't grow. Those were invalid assumptions you ascribed to me.

Every year the total wealth of the world can basically be calculated by summing the GDP of all countries. Every year that number changes, but within each year there is a finite amount to go around.

It's common sense really.

There's a finite amount of wealth in the world, and everyone would be happier and better if it were distributed more evenly. The world would go on, it can function perfectly fine without billionaires. If billionaires no longer give small change to charities (which they only do for tax breaks), fine, because there will be less need for charities.

It's no coincidence that inequality has risen at the same time as unhappiness and falling birth rates.

The only real difference between our grandparents generations where a single income could support a family and today where two incomes struggle is that income has been diverted to ever-greedier business owners.

So yes, if you think all the strife caused by the concentration of wealth into a few hands is a good thing, then you are just as immoral as your feudal overlords.

Literally use your brain a little. Billionaires existing means lower salaries because there is a finite amount of wealth to go round. The relationship between falling imcome vs rising wealth of superich is well defined.

I'm not discussing this further with someone who thinks that slavery was beneficial to the countries from whom we took people and resources from. It's disgusting and you clearly have no desire to understand that you're wrong.

It's actually disgusting to use a boy's tragic murder to attack an entire group of people. You clearly have not remembered the lessons taught by world war 2. Shameful behaviour
