Melodic bass

Melodic bass refers to a musical style that emphasizes the bass guitar or bassline as a prominent melodic element in a song. Unlike traditional bass, which often focuses on rhythm and supporting harmony, melodic bass plays engaging, catchy melodies that are integral to the composition. This approach can be found in various genres, including jazz, funk, and modern pop, where the bass not only underpins the music but also showcases creativity and musical expression. It adds depth and richness to the overall sound, making the bass an essential part of the melodic framework.
