i suck with bass lines. i feel like everything about this one is wrong. sample in the key of B

#

every note is in key too

#

the bass just doesnt sound right

#

i remember this

#

oh i was thinking maybe this bass sound can benefit from like upper frequency distortion but i dont really have a strong opinion on that

hi bud

#

for the beginning, and also in general

#

yank the root notes from your chord progression

#

and place it onto the bass

#

lay down that foundation, and THEN you can add passing notes, octave switches blah blah
