"Got a bass yesterday. Am going to write my next record on it (rather than guitar or piano). We

Sweet! That's damned nice.

[Shiri]

This should be interesting.

im a little worried about the new music, bass is such a bland instrument on its own...but it will probly still turn out awesome

Well that's why you don't play it on its own!

[ecnarf]

This worries me. The only time bass is allowed to be interesting on its own is in jazz music.

[Ravenous Yam]

Primus disagrees with that statement.

 

But largely, yes.

Fools, bass bland? Honestly, you write it on bass, then add in other parts to make it more interesting. Like he has said, in the past he has used guitar and piano to write records, and he didn't just use guitar and piano, there are other instruments as well. Bass is just another instrument to channel his ideas through, and write music with a more interesting approach.

I don't know maybe he should stick to guitar....lol

[MarketTomato]

Umm maybe you should shut your mouth about how someone should write songs, when you probably don't know what a "creative approach" to writing songs is.

[ham_ahoy]

well you know i'm sure your a creative mastermind right? what tunes have you belted out recently?

[MarketTomato]

Well, I certainly can say I write music, play drums, guitar, bass, violin, trombone, piano, and I certainly know that I can say something and know what I'm talking about in most cases. If you'd like to take it further, I can even show you some of my tunes, and I can most certainly say I have never received any negative feedback, and at the most, just some simple constructive critisism. But since we're all mature here, we don't have to fight about it right? But please, if you don't know anything about the instruments you speak of, then don't suggest that Matt should try and write his songs in any shape or form that you speak of, because clearly, he has been in the business for 10 years now. I don't really think you're in the position to suggest how he should write his songs. Thanks. Please be mature about it.

Well excuse me, mr i play every concievable instrument every created on the face of the earth, i would never be in this predicement had you never reared your ugly post, maybe you should stick to the question at hand and not worry about being some smart ass punk, and by the way just because you can play one chord or note doesn't mean you can play the instrument, you know for future reference sake

[devolution]

- Morons. Both of you really...yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn.

[ecnarf]

But since we're all mature here

Uhh... not so fast.

[glassjaw]

your mom goes to college

Technically speaking, my mom went to college, and my brother goes to college. My dad went into the trades so never went to university or college. I'm the first one in my immediate family lined up for university.

Yes, I do know that. But that's not the case. Anyhow, let's both just carry on with our day mhmm?

i start everything on bass and i use it to make the skeleton of the song. guitar / drums / keys can extend beyond, like flesh.

[bobbyshane]

exactly... theres absolutely nothing wrong with writing songs on a bass guitar... it really sparks the writing process as you go because you really dont know how it's going to end up until your completely finished..
