Why did the Bass guitar in particular become the instrument of choice for so many online commentator hacks like Davie504, Danny Sapko, and Adam Neely? It feels like the hacks-per-capita is higher with Bass than with normal guitar. What caused this phenomenon?
>>131991439is Davie504 really a hack though, content aside
>>131991439i don't know any of these names because i'm not an npc. you're probably a 30yo incel that still plays video games like a child too
Jaco
only hacks and women play this 'instrument'figures
>>131992036You call them hacks yet you won't find a good band without a bassist
>>131992071>t. plays root notescouldn't H A C K it actually playing music
>>131991439What's your basis for a 'hack?' Neely is very educated and talented, even if you don't agree with his politics.Sapko was a normal guy until like a year or two ago when he turned into an edglelord punk (I don't think he actually made money online until then, so fair enough with the hack claim).Davie is the bass version of hundreds of guitar YouTubers. It's stupid shit, but it gets kids to click. I'm on the fence with this one. You probably just notice it more with bass because it sticks out against the sea of millions of guitar YouTubers, most of which you (and most others) have never heard of or paid attention to.
>>131992071The Doors didn't even have a bassist
>>131992391they used studio bassists on their albums and early on they had a lady bassist
>>131991439It was so obvious that argentinian nonce was miming thohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVZfzcrd0NQ>fools nuno bettencourt, michael anthony and rex brownembarrassing
>>131992509>lady bassistLol
>>131991439Dunno the others but sapko is the goods
>>131991448>is Davie504 really a hack thoughYes. If he wasn't a hack he'd be out there writing and recording amazing music but he's not because he can't. Instead he's making shitty content online for low IQ morons like you to watch since you don't have a life. That's the textbook definition of a hack, the lowest of the low.
>>131992391He said good bands>>131991439The bassist is usually the most grounded and intelligent member in a band
>>131993024which one do you think is easier and pays more?
>>131993369>The bassist is usually the most grounded and intelligent member in a band>>131987828I see you Tina.
>>131993369>The bassist is usually the most grounded and intelligent member in a bandand then again, there's Flea
>>131993379He didn't have the option, that's what being a hack means. Those that can, do. Those that can't... youtube.
YUGE spacing and fewer strings.
>>131993457no shit, talented musicians are a dime a dozen and competition is stiff. why would someone pick being a goes-nowhere band over youtube fame outside of doing it for fun? not to mention this entails finding like at least 1 or 2 other musicians to collaborate with which is its own nightmareif talent = success then there would be so much more 'popular' music in the world but there isn't enough money to go around. getting good at something and shilling it on youtube is just a convenient life hack for getting money and attention
>>131993024>>131993457A hack would be someone like you, a bitter incel loser who isn't good at anything attacking someone who is both talented and successful.
>>131991439Davie504 is unironically one of the most technically proficient bassists around right now ad has made videos with truly mind blowing playing in them without any tricks or gimmicks other than just being plain good at bass. The guy rarely even uses effects. He makes dumb music that is just to show off for other bass players (a real Yngwie bassist) and you may hate his videos, but calling him a "hack" bassist is laughable. As someone else said earlier, a hack is someone like you, talentless and self hating so you have to throw tantrums about people more talented than you with successful music careers. Davie is obviously just a very introverted person, which is quite apparent in any video he has done where he had to interact with people. He even went on tour and did all the dumb shit you think he should be doing 2 years ago. Obviously he just likes doing the youtube thing more than touring, since both are an option for him, and he has done both. Youtube musicians are fucking dumb in general, but you can't deny some of them are good at their instruments.
>>131993481>why would anybody with any integrity choose to do something of value The joke writes itself.>>131993574Go project somewhere else, seethy.All youtubers are talentless failed musicians who took what they could get vs. what they really wanted. Anyone with any self-awareness would be embarrassed and ashamed to spend their life chasing jew algorithms on Google for the pitiful little payouts they get.
>>131993024>If he wasn't a hack he'd be out there writing and recording amazing music but he's not because he can'tor maybe he found a better niche in making music-related videos where he can also make exponentially more money. fucking retard.>>131993574that's like 95% of the threads on this website attacking e-celebs. 0 legitimate criticisms, just pure unbridled seething because they don't have what they have.
>>131993625>Davie504 is unironically one of the most technically proficient bassists around right now not really, no. if this were true he'd be an in demand session player which he's not. he's a joke from youtube instead lol, that's the reality
>>131993658>he can also make exponentially more moneyHe's barely making minimum wage on youtube, bud. You're delusional.
>>131993654>The joke writes itself.mate, a lot of people are passionate about youtube as a medium. and when you're good at something you don't necessarily see it as a high value activity so much as something that is just a part of your daily lifemethinks you're putting your hobby or entertainment on a pedestal
>>131993696>>131993024>Instead he's making shitty content online for low IQ morons like you to watchcurious
>>131993704>a lot of people are passionate about youtubeindeed, they're called npc's. you're obviously one person of them
>>131993713You're esl, then? Need me to explain it to you further?
>>131993726>>131993741what does this have to do with bass?
>>131993748You wanted to argue, now we're arguing. And we're going to keep arguing until you stop replying :^)
>>131993696You are retarded. Davie makes more than your salary from Youtube. On top of that, he sells merch and albums, and he has sponsorships and endorsement deals. He probably isn't super ultra wealthy, but he is definitely living comfortably and will never have to worry about money. This whole thread comes off as bitterness and jealousy from someone who probably is legitimately a hack at their instrument.
>>131993676crazy that he'd rather make millions from youtube than a teacher's salary doing session work
>>131991439because is easy>>131991448he is good af at the bass, but he plays bass, so... lolgive that guy a keyboard or a guitar and he wont know what the fuck to do
>>131993696yup, all those people with 8 digit subscriber counts getting a million+ views per video are acsksually making minimum wage.you really are exposing yourself as the bitter talentless low IQ wretch that you are.>>131993726>you're obviously one person of themoh and you're an ESL too. no wonder you're so mad! you're some diminutive malnourished brownie in a favela surrounded by crime and garbage. i guess i'd be fuming too if i were you kek what a fucking bitch.
>>131993796>millionslolBut yeah crazy how a hack chooses a pitiful little bit of money over artistic integrity. Kind of like how McDoalds chooses to make goyslop for niggers instead of healthy editable food.
>>131993808>he is good af at the bass, but he plays bass, so... lolgive that guy a keyboard or a guitar and he wont know what the fuck to doMost piano players I know suck at guitar and bass. It is a completely different kind of instrument and different skill. Also, Davie plays guitar, so your point was dumb to begin with.
>>131993835>all those people with 8 digit subscriber counts getting a million+ views per video are acsksually making minimum wageYou need to go look into the reality of what youtubers make, you're an idiot.
>>131993841In what way does session work have more integrity than making original content and music? Davie has albums of original music whether or not you choose to acknowledge it.
>>131993784i would make the claim that he is a better youtuber than he is a bassist when you control for SDs and baseline skills and skill floor and etc, but a lot of it is just blowing the algo>>131993808he most likely can play a little guitar and keyboard if he's that proficient at bass, but i'm not really sure. either way you get further specializing than trying to master everything. this debate seems to be headed toward "well he doesn't have perfect virtue so he's actually not good"
>>131993869and it's all shit no one listens to because he's a talentless hack
>>131993882And yet you didn't answer the question I asked.
>>131993871its better to be well rounded than just a master at 1 instrument ngl much betterbecause you can composeespecially if your main instrument is the 4 string bass. That shit is so easy to master. It shouldnt take you more than 2 years if you truly dedicate 3 days a week to it you can also become a bass ace.
>>131993863davie is making more in one month than your entire immediate family of 12 in your favela will make in their lifetime
>>131993871>well he doesn't have perfect virtue so he's actually not goodHe doesn't have any value at all outside of entertaining mindless npc's on youtube
>>131991439There are plenty of online guitar commentator hacks though. Rick Beato is literally the king of music commentators. Then you have faux edgy fags like Sor Hands. People don't give a fuck about his playing, they just watch him do his meta ironic commentary on FOTM crap. Anyway, this kind of normieslop is easy to make and people love drama, so it's only natural
>>131993890yes, i did. he couldn't dream of ever being a session player because he doesn't have any talent
>>131993895You can tell by reading this that OP isn't good at any instruments lol
>>131993897>it was real in my mindlol
>>131993918That still isn't the question I asked you. Try answering the questions of have typed for you instead of the schizo voices in your head telling you what you wish I asked. I asked how being a session musician has more integrity than making original music.
>>131993928i already answered this, you're just too stupid to comprehend the answer
>>131993895not everyone is trying to be big boss anon. self-actualization doesn't mean becoming the most talented person feasible. there are other things in life people want to enjoy. the world would be an even worse place if everyone was on their savant polymath genius grindset
>>131993895You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about
>>131993925>y-you're wrong b-because u-uhhh...keep seething from your favela brownie
>>131993918>this successful youtuber that makes videos where 99% of his content is doing covers of other people's music would make a bad session player.The longer this thread is going, the more retarded OP is becoming.
>>131993945>saar i no understandednow you're just projecting hard to cope lol
>>131993935You literally didn't answer it. I asked how playing other peoples music has more integrity than playing original music and your response is "OMG davie sucks at bass". The question wasn't even specific to Davie. You are fundamentally retarded.
>>131993841You are a poison in every thread you enter. Waifufags are better than you. You have no coherent thoughts beyond;>NIGGER JEW NIGGER JEW NIGGER JEWevery thread, regardless of the topic, half the replies are yours, screeching about Jews and niggers, just being a miserable loser. Nothing of worth has ever been typed by your fingers. You are the human manifestation of cancer and yet I still pity your life, it must be terribly lonely.
>>131993967We all know what kind of weird porn that guys is into lol
>>131993676How technically proficient do you think the average session bassist is lmao. I abhor his dogshit lowest common denominator content but he is clearly good enough to do session work if he wanted to. But why would he bother? He already makes good money making content slop
>>131993955>n-no you are brown!amazing repartee (that means a quick reply because i know you don't know what that means) from the raped brownie bitch
>>131993918Getting 14m subs as a fucking bass content creator is unequivocally more difficult than being a career session player. For the record, I hate his content. You are just a moron
>>131993953lol the low IQ jeet posts keep coming, pic related>>131993963>>131993967lmao the seethe begins >>131993998>>131993987>he is clearly good enough to do session workno, he's most certainly not. imagine being so dumb you took the fake shit you see in youtube videos at face value
>>131993987Still avoiding the question about artistic integrity I see lol
>>131994015this guy is literally just angrily schizoposting lol. I can feel his anger through the screen. He's busting out charts and shit lol.
>>131994038>no argument or rebuttal i graciously accept your capitulation
>>131994038lol replying to every comment in the thread with angry schizo posts. This guy is very emotional right now.
What you're all done now? I was having fun ruining your shitty npc thread lmfao
>>131994063This meltdown was pretty entertaining. OP had some real rage boiling inside of him. Must be frustrating to have all those feeling but only be able to communicate on the level of a 12 year old.
>>131993841>>131994020>I might be destitute but at least I have artistic integrity!!!>>131994015>it's all fakeany evidence of him faking everything? what are you using to judge his playing then?
>>131994108Still can't answer the question about integrity lol. Let's try again. How does being a session musician have more integrity than making original music?
>>131994087saar yes all those feeling is hard
>>131994163Nice reading comprehension Shitinderjeet
>>131994163see >>131993882. i love how i backed you into a corner where the only straw you have left to grasp at is predicated on you pretending not to understand what artist merit or integrity means
the eternal /gg/ bedroom cuck seethe over musicians making money instead of being stuck in their drowning pool. keep working on those scales little buddy
>jeet loses argument in spectacular fashion >stops replying >stammers out one last seethe post before rage quitting lmao always remember how i fucked you in the ass, streetshitter
>>131994231You lost and got raped /gg/eet

>>131993024>>131993574both valid
>>131992907I literally learned who Davie was through Danny so I imagine you've watched merely a handful of his shorts.
>>131994413....faggot
