Virtual Basses
Rock Band gets a virtual P-Bass.
Both Rock Band and Guitar Hero get a virtual MusicMan Stingray.
Although I still like my real ones better (I’m trying to decide which one to use for “The Wiz” next month, as both will work wonderfully for solid, soulful playing), it’s an important step forward for bass visibility.
*cue swelling music*
No longer are we subjugated to bastardized plastic simulacrums of our proud instruments when we waste our time playing a glorified musical Simon game. No, our standard flies high today and forever more. Stand tall and proud, fellow bassists. Tall and proud.
*Fade on satisfying, glorious cadence*
