Guitar (or Piano) and vocals is always first for me. Drums come later in order to build in clearer accents and syncopation. But if the melody and chord progression isn’t interesting all on it’s own, it’s probably not very good. Bass guitar is the last instrument, but in a lot of ways is the glue to keep it all together. It’s the bridge between the drums rhythm and the other instruments melody. Last but not least in other words. Final vocal tracks are actually the last thing to be recorded, though a scratch vocal may or may not have been recorded after the guitars.
