Hi guys,
This has been bugging me for years when arranging. Where do most of you place "F" in the bass line? Is it above the natural "C" played in bass or does it fall an octave lower, which is below the standard "C" played? To me, the bass always sounds weak with resonance by playing say, "F" or "G" above the "C" played bass note. I like the sound of the lower played "F" and "G" but the bass doesn't sound loud enough. Perhaps too low. I do like the "G" in that range and does come through nicely. I am probably answering my own question by having to accept the "F" above the "C" played because it does sound louder and I suppose to an agree, more natural. This applies to acoustic bass only and not electric bass. With electric bass, the "F" above the "C" played sounds fine.
