I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

If you’re reading this now, chances are you’re already neck-deep in the allure of the bass.

Bass is just so cool, isn’t it?

It holds down the foundation of a song while still making its own statement—the kind of low end that resonates in your ears and body is simply the best.

In this article, I’ve put together a list of songs that feature high-difficulty bass playing.

It’s sure to satisfy your craving for low frequencies.

So be sure to check out every track all the way to the end!

Formed mainly by childhood friends since their middle school days, Straightener is a four-piece rock band performing under a name that means “one who makes things straight.” Their song “KINGMAKER,” included on their major 7th album STRAIGHTENER, is striking for its waltz-time beat featuring edgy guitar sounds.

Along with a bassline that moves throughout the entire track, the slap-driven solo showcases just how cool the bass can be as an instrument.

It’s a powerful rock tune whose low end, supporting the hysteric sound, lingers in your ears.
