I remember a quote from the loading screens on guitar hero:I don't know about other places, but in my town bass players are always the last thing to come because everyone wants to play guitar/drums or sing first, lmao. When I told everyone I played bass, they looked at me like I was a dinosaur come to life.
Lots of rock bands just look down on the bass even though it's still really important. It's just not as cool as playing lead guitar.Your bass is too loud, I can hear it
Also add the stereotype that the bass guitar is primitive and therefore it is played either by musicians with minimal skills, or by those who want to get into a group at any cost. For example, the legendary “of course the chick in the band plays bass guitar.”I remember a quote from the loading screens on guitar hero:

It's a shame cuz much like an orchestral bass/cello the bass guitar has a foundational role in the music's quality and tone even when its played so smoothly that you can't distinguish it. Letting the bass player show off a bit is always a treat too.Also add the stereotype that the bass guitar is primitive and therefore it is played either by musicians with minimal skills, or by those who want to get into a group at any cost.
