I am a graphic designer and make plenty of t-shirts. For my latest creations i am looking for the biggest, baddest, most confusing, bass oriented line i can find. Some sentence that that only hardcore bassists would understand. Know what i mean? Hope so, let me know if you have anything or you know where else i can hunt, cheers yall.

Really appreciate any responces.

Hm, off the top off my head:

The Chromatic Fantasy arrangement by Jaco (esp. the last part).

Jeff Berlin's arrangement of Dixie

I concur with Chromatic Fantasy, that one is a doozy.

Dixie looks more difficult, but Chromatic Fantasy is a better sounding song IMO.

WHahahahaha, LOL.

BASS PLAYERS AND TOILETS HAVE ALOT IN COMMON, THEY BOTH HAVE TO PUT UP WITH CRAP :D

how about my AOL screen name, I Use My Fingers Well

how about

god i love my g-string

my g-string was so tight it broke.

THE BEST PRACTICAL JOKE
At 1am-3am on a main road, go and draw chalk outlines of people at a main intersection (I'm talking 20 or 30 people) Then sit back and watch.


I am definately going to mention this one to my friends kirbywrx, thanks! LOL

hey..dont just suggest it...DO IT i know i did..and i now have a criminal record...:D :D

"Bassists do it with both fingers."

"Bass players don't die, they just smell like it."

Front: "How can you tell when a bassist is playing out of tune?"

Back: "His fingers are moving."

The second and third ones show that we do have a sense of humor about what we do, and the first one is nice because it's an innuendo. Or as I often say, "In-you-end.....ohhhh!" :D

bass players have longer wood!!!

:eek:

Bass players finger...and slap!

Hey JMX whats the address of the sight you got that music from?

Bassists do it with rythm

its not exactly hardcore but i like it.

or to quote Ed Friedland from a Bass Player article

If you aint groovin' your about as useless as an old chewed up, corroded D string

no, NO, NO! :mad:

*ahem*




ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!

Yeah I know the fealling but you can get it on a emulator and play it on the computer... Only thing i hate is the all your base song was stuck in my head for weeks

I just thought of this one off the top of my head


BASS PLAYERS LIVE ON THE EADG (EDGE)

How about "All your Bass are belong to us?" as a more bass oriented version?

I wonder if guitarists do it with a pick? :eek:
Or if drummers do it with a thin stick? (I think this may be all to true)

Wow I just saw I have 200 posts.
What a waste of my 200th post.
Oh well.
Hey, cool, I'm not "new member" any more!

one time, at band camp, I stuck a flute...

How about:

Bass players do it lower and deeper! :D

Also being a trombonist, I must argue that the proper expression is "Trombonists do it in every position." (There are about 7 approximate 'positions' where you play on the slide.) As for flute players, please- slam away.

wow, that's a great one

how about....If you were a sandwich at McDonald's, you'd be a Mcbeatiful

I saw this one on TBL, I think it was,

"Like most people, you're following the bass player"

on the back of the shirt...:D

How about,

"Bass Players do it with a Bigger Instrument"
:eek: :D
