I noticed that "wood bass" isn't listed in his credits, but this is the most common credit I see for him when going through booklets.
How do people figure out whether that is a double bass or some kind of acoustic bass guitar? (He plays both.) |

For how we classify bass instruments: - We have a separate role for just "Bass" without further qualifications, so if it's just Bass those credits would go there rather than trying to determine whether it's double bass or bass guitar: https://vgmdb.net/role/32 - For Double Bass or Contrabass credits those go to the Contrabass role: https://vgmdb.net/role/74 - For Wood Bass credits, they go to the Upright Bass role: https://vgmdb.net/role/174 Although Contrabass and Wood Bass refers to the same instrument, they've been split because the credits usually signify different styles of playing and can sometimes even appear together: (from SQEX-10730) Last edited by nstz; Oct 17, 2021 at 06:14 AM. |

For clarification, they tend to use "wood bass" or "upright bass" when the strings are plucked / "contrabass" or "double bass" when the strings are bowed.

Different person, but here's Hiroyuki Sawano using "bass" to refer to an upright double bass being plucked: 1:30-1:37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ja403hodxM&t=1m30s 1:52-1:56 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ja403hodxM&t=1m52s 2:24-2:29 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ja403hodxM&t=2m24s 2:48-2:51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ja403hodxM&t=2m48s 3:32-3:37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ja403hodxM&t=3m32s 3:52-3:57 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ja403hodxM&t=3m52s |

"Bass" by itself is just a general term that can refer to any type.

If this weren't a discussion thread regarding site roles, I would very much have liked to take part in it...
