What it concludes
- Laying out during certain parts of a song can create dramatic effect and highlight the bass when it comes back in.
- Avoid playing the third of a chord in the bass if the singer is singing the third to prevent weakening the melody.
- Playing close to the bridge gives a mid-rangey tone better for single-note playing, while playing near the neck gives a fatter tone.
- Muting strings you are not playing is essential to avoid muddying the mix with stray bass notes.
- Placing the bass slightly behind the kick drum groove makes the low end sound huge.
