Hello semua,
Nama saya Mohamed Nor. Atau panggil je Matnor. Main bass since 1982 (dah tua la)! Started teaching since 1992. Dalam tahun 1985 dah perform kat Singapore Conference Hall kat Shenton Way sana. Share stage ngan Rusty Blade, Kingdom In Rock, Trash, just to name a few. Just a brief intro about myself.
Peranan atau role of a bass player dalam band. Satu position yang sangat perlu dalam sesebuah band. Kita sama lah dengan bahagian midfield dalam sukan bolasepak. Nak support goalkeeper ngan striker. Responsibility berat tau! Kita kena jaga dan kita jugak kena support. Jaga rhythm atau timekeeping ngan drummer. Kita jugak kena support harmony which is to play the notes within the scale or chord tone. Kita PERLU tau bila nak jaga rhythm dan bila nak provide harmony. So mcm mana nak jaga rhythm? Mcm mana nak provide harmony? Belajar scales utk harmony dan belajar buat rhythm sendiri lah! A chord will always be a chord until a rhythm comes in. Agree with me? Maknanya kalau takda rhythm, chord tu tak bergerak. Badan tak goyang brader! The feel should come from you, not the chord or the instrument. Remember, your swimming trunk cant swim, its you!

"A chord will always be a chord until a rhythm comes in".. Gua suka lah ini quote. ;D
Yes bro, ' A chord will always be a chord until a rhythm comes in'.. Sungguh dalam maknanya tu. Kalau tak kerana rhythm, kita tak kan tau mcm mana bunyi chord tu dalam sesebuah irama atau rhythm. But let me tell you this...we are restricting ourselves in playing other rhythm for a certain genre. Meaning to say that kita yg fikir rhythm zapin atau inang, cuma fit utk lagu2 rentak asli Melayu. Tak boleh main dlm rhythm rock balada konon! Cubalah...we actually have a very strong sense of rhythm! Kita kaya dgn rhythm kita. Kalau betul2 kita dengar, zapin is equal to funk; keroncong is reggae. Kalau kita cakap kita MALU nak main/dgr lagu2 rentak asli Melayu,kita tak sedar yg sebenar kita main funk tu,adalah zapin, meaning to say budak2 Bushmen main keroncong ah! Betul tak? Ini bukan nak mengutuk mana2 band bro.

Tapi memang pada gua bass Keroncong paling feel aaa....nak nak on fretless...ada ke? Bayangkan Steve DiGiorgio :D
to me,..bass is the backbone of the music..
mana mana music apa apa pun mesti perlukan expertise dari sound bass.. ups for all the bassist out there..
mcm mane pun kita harus segan dgn bass yg arwahnye tompel pakai dalam cerita doremi....
