Then it stopped being taught. The result is what you hear in rehearsal rooms today: notes that were never requested and have not been forgiven, fretboards crossed at Olympic sprinting pace under the impression that distance covered constitutes musical content.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bass Code sets the doctrine down in full - 55 articles, standard procedures, and eight incident reports from the Office of the Sentinel. Each report is a formal finding against a real bassist in a real location. The rulings are final. The record does not expire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have ever stood in a room and tried to make music with other people, you already know one of the bassists in these pages - and if you play something else entirely, you already suspect one of your own sins is coming next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tone is completely straight.
