Bass and drums are the rocks on which modern music stands. Whether it's funky grooves played on the bass guitar, 808s booming on trap beats, or the steady wub of an EDM bass line, bass is everywhere, and it is foundational. Without it, music often lacks its fullness, its thud, and its rhythm.

​

The bass guitar has been a staple of modern bass sounds for the past few decades. To this day people are still pioneering sounds on the bass guitar such as Thundercat, or Rocco Palladino, or Royalblood. Almost every band has a bass guitarist and without them they would sound thin and empty.
