More experience with music always makes it easier to pick smaller details out.  I agree, also, that most bands turn the bass down far too low.

Jeez, does anyone not play bass around here?

Maybe its like a requisite of campaign designers or something...

(I play it too...)

:D I'm actually a guitarist (I like to call myself lead), but once upon a time I played bass for a jamming band (we called ourselves Under Lying Skies). Originally I had wanted to play bass, not guitar, but when I asked my parents for a left-handed acoustic bass for Christmas 2.5 years ago (I'm left-handed), they got me a right-handed electric guitar and I never made an effort to get back into bass. It's always been a love of mine, though. The vital backings and rumbling lows that you can get with them get me every time :)

Thanks, CYMRO.

I'm still a bit of a learner with my bass.  I can play at the level of an average bass player in an average band.  Therefore, in my mind, I suck.  I want to be able to DO something with my bass, not just be there because the band is 'supposed to' have a bass player.

Jazz, eh?  Very cool.

I wonder if we have enough musicians here to compose some kind of rock-classical (think the music from the original DUNE) theme for a campaign or two?  It would be the 'coolest' thing ever produced by a bunch of geeks and hella fun.

QuoteDo you deal with electric and acoustic basses more, or are you a standup/cello type person?

Bass players lay down the harmonic foundation for a piece of music. Campaign setting designers lay down the literary foundation for a game.

The way I see it, bass players and setting writers are analogous participants in their respective pastimes: music and gaming. :)

I'm utterly tone-deaf, and just dropped out of highschool band this year, played the trumpet.

Just in case y'all needed some evidence to weigh against all the musical geeks present. :P

So does that make me the dude with the crazy campaign and crunch concepts if I play a mind-blowing solo? :P

Let's here it for the musically inept.
I did the same thing back in the old days.  Only, it was the trombone.  I was horrible...

Yeah, guitar for me too, but, much like Mezerous, I was originally gonna play bass... I was informed that it was "best" to learn guitar first for some reason and so I started guitar lessons and never went back to bass.

Gotta love bass though. Absolutely got to. Without bass, or at least some bass-end instrument, music sounds empty, thin, tinny... plus you can proper groove it up on bass :D
