Before all the bassists pull a Flea and start running around in their underwear or diaper or whatever it is they run around in … I want to point out that this is nothing more than sensationalized fake news. If you read the article, all they did was wrap some science around the obvious (something to the effect that people’s brains respond to pitch with high notes and rhythm with low notes). Right about now I would share some commentary about the waste of tax dollars but I see the studies were funded by the Canadians so I will leave well enough alone. I will point out that a bass guitar was not used in the study (I will have to read it again but I don’t even think they specifically mention bass guitar … but just generically, bass instruments). The study was done with tones generated on a piano.
Depiction of the two EEG experimental conditions. In the two-voice deviant condition, standards (80% presentation rate) consisted of simultaneous high- and low-pitched piano tones [fundamental frequencies of 196 Hz (G3) and 466.2 Hz (B-flat4)];

That probably wouldn't go over well playing in a worship band. Then again, its probably never been done....may be a hit. I've played guitar for over 30 years and Bass for the last 15. I can tell you this, a good drummer and a good bass player, in sync, really hold a rhythm section together.

A team of researchers led by psychologist Laurel Trainor of McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, found that our brains are better at catching mistakes in lower notes.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

When I switched from being a guitarist to a bassist in bands, i noticed a huge power shift.
I assume it's because nobody paid attention to my bass playing, but shifted to fit my phrasing subconsciously. Had I mentioned what I was doing, I'm sure they would have been upset.
This study cost NO tax dollars, but a few real Canadian ones, and made none.

Sorry to have to bring this up , the article missed the whole point of what Bass Players bring to the table in music. The true Science behind it is real simple ... Bass and the lower frequency's in popular music stimulate a woman's southern region This has been know for years ....Under the right conditions Bass stimulates the Clit Kenny

Only in rock'n'roll music ... not anywhere else!
Let's try Beethoven and Mozart and see how important the bassists are ... sure!
What a bouillabaisse of crap!
Well, I asked Ludwig Van B, and this is what he said; ''Ich denke, Bassisten sind das wichtigste Mitglied der Band, sie halten das niedrige Ende und holen die Frauen alle aufgeregt mit dem Pochen. Halten Sie das in Ihre Pfeife und rauchen Sie es, Pedro!''

I have been drumming for 47 years now and one of the main things I think about before doing any gig is who the bass player is. If it is someone that I know and love then everything else seems to fall in place much better.

So is the limited music knowledge that can only discuss one kind of music? And the one that takes, sometimes, less talent to learn?
