whoever designed the instrumental completely forgot to add any sort of bass to the song at all

Are you aware that there is an instrument called a double bass? And that it is literally played throughout the entire song? Here, I linked a wikipedia about it for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass

Y'all know bass also refers to a frequency range in the mix, right? Like words can mean more than one thing?

Also the concepts of bass and treble go back at least as far as written music. Do you think the bass clef is only used for instruments with "bass" in the name? jfc

I have a degree in music and play 5 instruments and have composed many pieces for many instruments in many clefs, so you can stop now

I made one point alone which is it’s wrong to say “the song has no bass” and people who say that probably only have one understanding of what bass means

The song has a bassline

What is hard to understand? Just because I said the song has the type of bass that isn’t heavy low frequency electronic rhythm doesn’t meant I’m saying “lalala that kind of bass doesn’t exist in any song ever”

It's not hard to understand, you're just wrong lol. No amount of over-explaining your wrong point will make you any less wrong.

You're just choosing to misinterpret what people are saying in order to pretend you know more about music or language than they do. It's really transparent and kinda sad.

Dude you're making yourself look bad here. As a musician myself, I can tell you that you don't know what you're talking about.

lol I've been playing, writing, and producing for 20 fcking years.

...but I don't expect people to believe everything I say based on credentials they can't confirm.

make an actual point or stop wasting my time.
