My Metal Bass is so Muddled compared to a Jazz sounding Bass, but that's how I like it.. I really rely more on my 6 strings to carry a song. Working on a it though, and trying to innovate my own sound as well. :)

just a list of people who use chords on bass... Jeff Berlin, Justin Chancellor, Cliff Burton, Alex Webster, Geddy Lee, Jaco Pastorious, Les Claypool, and those are just the guys at the top of my head...if you would like some examples reply, otherwise find them yourselves you meager minded bass players -.-

[ThatSillyMosher]

why is everyone going 'YOU PLAY CHORDS ON BASS!?' its still a guitar you can do everything on a bass that you can do on a guitar.

[sarahscoots]

i didn't know youj played chords on bass ?

[KSixStringX]

Yes you play chords on bass :/ It's common in punk music and some rock music, during choruses. You'll notice that while most bassist won't use a pick, some do because they play chords, and a pick makes doing that easier. 

[KSixStringX]

@KSixStringX Actually on second thought, it's more common in jazz and blues than anything else.

[realjuvelive]

When do we play chords for bass guitar ? I think that's not common ....?

[CherryConcrete]

@realjuvelive

I want you to search for Gustavo Dal Farra on youtube and listen to "Rushed Love". This should answer your question.

[realjuvelive]

@CherryConcrete Um Okay :/

[newoaklandlocal]

@realjuvelive Alex Webster of Cannibal Corpse.. look up his lesson and he will even tell you he uses chords

[olutsu]

can you send me a complete chart on the chords available on the bass guitar? Probably you might want to use my email.

[ledzeppfan1000]

[andrewyiking]

You play chords on bass?!??!

[rysoke24]

I hate chords like this lol, my ears hate the flat 7, but nice lesson dude! Also, your bass looks silly with only one tuning knob on bottom, xD.

[broadyKS]

im a moon cricket!

[poyouco]

idk why but the g7 chord is a ugly sounding chord to me

[JahSolomon]

so the 5th is ommitted if its too muddy/too bland?

[Kaka4Milan]

nah. Its omitted because its a part of the Major, Minor and Dominant scales, i.e it isnt unique. Since we usually only have 4 strings on a bass it generally helps to only play the essentials
