The misconception that bass is easy can be attributed to a few factors. First, the bass is often considered a supportive instrument, leading people to believe that it doesn’t require as much skill or knowledge as other instruments. Second, the bass lines in some songs can be relatively simple, but what people often fail to realize is that a skilled bassist can make even simple lines sound amazing through proper technique and tonal control. Finally, the bass can be somewhat overlooked in the band setup, so people who don’t have much musical knowledge may not fully comprehend its importance and difficulty.
