I respectfully disagree in the most friendly manner possible. ![Smiley](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The bass is also responsible for giving the song a "groove," something that makes it catchy or stand out. It also supports all guitarists and potentially keyboardist by playing the root note, or making a nice contrast by playing a different note within the same chord (be it the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, whatever). The bass is the glue that holds everything together. Without it, the song loses depth. I agree 1000%. Bass is very important, even more so live than in studio. Without it the sound tends to be thinner, and lacking something IMO. Bands can(and do) make it work without bass(White Stripes anyone?), but it's much harder. This video really shows you how important bass is:

@Hobby - It's cool, I understand. I don't entirely agree, but we've agreed on so many things it was about time we found something to disagree on. ![Cheesy](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) @Darth_Arkanus - I'm pretty sure no one here was saying that. I definitely don't. I think we're talking about the importance of the other instruments in order to build them up, but not by tearing down the lead guitarist. I don't think it's ever necessary to tear down the "top dog" in order to elevate others. It's totally possible to build up others without tearing anyone down, in fact I believe we should do that in any and all situations. @TJ - POINT! ![Grin](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I think it's healthy to disagree ![Cheesy](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Anyway, I wanted to share this. It's an oldie, but a goodie. There is some minor swearing (as in, two words, mixed in with some rather hilarious captions) though. Pay attention at the end
What I really like about this video is that 1) It's about Metallica. 2) It just goes to show that even pros struggle (NO DUH, HOBBIE!) so if you find yourself struggling, don't worry. You aren't broken or anything. 3) It's about Metallica. 4) It's absolutely hilarious. 5) It's about Metallica.

I am working on learning trombone because I've had one sitting in my shop for two or three years and I've not actually opened the case since it was given to me. it is older than I remember, apparently 1951 or so, it was found in a friends attic and given to me "because you, like, play a similar instrument". It needs a little work.

I LOVE it! i took it to a little informal jazz jam session and played it all night, and about a half dozen or so people insisted that I let them play it. they seemed to have a hard time believing that an 88 year old trumpet plays that well.

Must have been lacquered like a boss. Unlike wooden instruments, we brass players rarely enjoy aged instruments. That's so cool that the piece of history you have is in such good condition!

I finally meet another musician in town, and he's a bass player.... How am I supposed to start a band with only bass players?

Okay, maybe I do have a problem...I just got another cornet, a 1916 Buescher Model 15. Do I need to start going to some sort of psychologist about my collecting? I have nine brass instruments now, four trumpets, three cornets, one trombone, and a bugle. That isn't too many, maybe I don't have a problem!

This is said on a forum where people take pictures of their 9 sabers and brag about more on the way... On that note, you're just fine! ![Grin](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Pics? ![Smiley](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
