ok, so I was talking to a girl I want to go out with over AIM, and I told her I play bass, so she says "gimme a minute, I need to consult with the female bible (cosmo)". So she comes back, and types in what cosmo has to say about the bass...

so according to cosmo.. " choosing such a physically domineering instrument indicates that he probably takes charge in the bedroom. you have to be willing to relinquish control and let him work his magic."

I couldn't stop laughing, and I hope you guys (not sure if this works for women...) will enjoy this as much as I did.

I'm about as magical as Lucky Charms.

I do find myself saying "no, let me ... " quite often.

Hey, if she's not willing to relinquish control and let me work my magic, I will gladly relinquish control and let her work her magic! Better yet, we take turns! The important thing is to get to the point where the issue comes up!

If Cosmo is the female bible, God help us all... :rolleyes:

Haha I actually read that article, a friend showed it to me a while back and I laughed.

lol, nice. I want to read the whole thing one day

My first thought of this thread was pointed torwards Cosmo from The Fairly Oddparents.

I think thats kinda funny, although ironic for me - I'm a bit too passive when it comes to girls...

It sure appears to be for chicks. Not sure what grown women read.

DCat,

The most magical thing about me is that my pinky finger is double-jointed. My Jaw makes a magical "popping" noise when I open it wide.

Same here, and both of my thumbs are double-jointed as well.

Bass Player mag had something similar in the last pages a few months back. Something about why women should marry a bass player.

WOW! The first true thing cosmo has ever said, i totally take cha-






















never mind

lol, I still haven't been able to read thw whole thing, but once I do, I'll post some other funny stuff in here.

Greg

So, do all of us bassists have to say, "I swear that's never happened before. Trust me, it usually lasts longer. I swear!" Who's with me?

Fellas?


Anyone?

LOL I thought it was Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld! :D

"the female bible"

ROTFLMAO!!! Only if you're under 35.

I read "Bass Guitar", myself.

Cherie ;-)

Haha, I read Cosmo once on a trip with a few girls when I was out of reading material, never again! At least it's not being negative, wonder what they think of ERBs then, guess with an instrument that domineering you may as well leave your panties at the door along with your free will ladies :p. I'm so gonna run that by some of the girls I know.

Last time I looked at a cosmo mag, it was talking about the male G-spot, funniest **** I know of.

I very surprized that Cosmo never said anything about bass players that like to slap & pop. I would think that they would find bass players barbaric. :hmm:

And they never mentioned anything about fingerstyle?

HAHAHAHA!

Oy, cosmo is ridiculous.

I was disappointed in this thread--I thought it would be a clever bass quote from Cosmo Kramer.

No wonder that big, blonde lesbian tried to drag me off by my ears to her lair. She'd been reading Cosmo!

I've got 10 pounds of wood dying to get out of my gig bag ~_^

This thread could get pretty nasty with talk of "complex fingering" and "longer, wider shafts" and "pickups".

I suggest stopping now.

aye, for instance; the head on my intrument is rather large.

Nah, I think we should continue :D. I am capable of some very simple double bass playing so occsionally I bust out the double bass and proudly tell any other bassists (I'm the only one who can play any double bass at all) "My bass is much bigger than yours!". Bwahahaha :D. Then again, I'll soon be a member of the 6 string club, giving me yet more opertunity to use that joke, oh I'm so lame :D.
