All the girlfriends I had seem to really like the way i use my hands if you know where i'm heading!:eek:. I wonder if bass players especially have a magic touch when I comes to this??

i think it's true.... ^^

My girlfriend likes my handy work

I get the compliments all the time as well. They know how to pick em too, my current girl said this after my last gig

"wow, i was watching you and you have really REALLY nice forearms.;) "

Sexy forearms? That's a new one...:D

My wife has told me lots of times that I can use her for a fretboard. :D :eek:

I get the sexy shoulderblades a lot. From holding an 8ish pound bass for a few hours a week, my back is darnd strong.

Especially with the bass clef tattoo i have now.

Pfft, I come from a background in computer geekary and fighting games on an arcade stick before bass playing. I have super UBER strong hands. I tell girls about my dragon punch technique all the time, way before I mention I play bass guitar.

But what's the point? Me with no girlfriend right now :'(

Same here!

I don't follow. Do you mean cooking? I'm quite the chef myself.

;)

If you can do rt hand technique on her special place, she will love you forever. 3 finger triplets will send her into orgasm!

What about double thumbing? :D

PM me the tehnique ^^

I got forarms like Popeye and fingers like sausages. The ladies love me.

just pop and watch her scream :smug:

Very true I have had girls compliment my hands soo it has to the be a bassist thing.

Yes.

It's definitely a bass thing. Aside from that, have you ever given a massage (back, etc.)? Girls always say I give the best, so I guess it from playing bass. Now, for massages in other places, it also works. :smug:

bassplaying and welding (in my case, and a few roubds at the gym) helps build strong arms. Perfect for backrups or other adventures using fingers

Potential bumper sticker:

Bass players do it with great feel and timing. We also like to slap on occasion.

:p

I would buy it

There's a pickup line I've heard a few times, I'm surprised it's not more well known. It goes some thing like:

"You know, they say bassists got those magic fingers..."

Last week I had a gig (public diploma concert for a drummer) in which we played Scott Henderson's "Dolemite", Tower Of Power's "Oakland Stroke" tied with "What Is Hip?", Brecker Brothers' "Some Skunk Funk" and Rush's "YYZ". After the concert, an acquaintance told me that a girl who attended the show with him was very impressed with my performance and told him something like: "Can he really do all those things with his fingers?". Unfortunately, she had to leave just after we finished. :hmm:

I think they mean that thumb thumpers have a green thumb at gardening which any lady can appreciate.;)

Oh yeah, btw, this doesn't work in reverse, as I know some chick bass players that don't know how to use their wrist.

I have really long fingers, and tend to have small girlfriends (I like asians). I can hold a groove.

Wow so It must be true. 'Bassists Finger Better' LOL!!!!!!. Y'see it ain't a dull instrument after all. Now what was that about using the 3 finger technique lumpy gravy?!!.............

No problem finding the G Spot considering I love to hang out on the G String...

As long as you are not wrist deep in the a thing!

Strange how you suddenly get a lot more female attention after they've seen you play a few fast songs on bass at a gig :D

slick.

ROFL! :D

also a request for the LumpyGravy love triplet

I think they mean that thumb thumpers have a green thumb at gardening which any lady can appreciate.;)

My girlfriend loves the "Lumpy Gravy Triplet". I love her multiple orgasms!

I keep breaking my girlfriends. Must be these damn popeye forearms.... guk guk guk....

Olive, got a new triplet slap technique, get over here now!

Cheers
Pop eye

I reckon it's true, it must be a bassist thang, I have always been complimented for my touch. (I give truly amazing massages too, and have strong arms and hands). However I have never been with a male bassist to see if the same is true in reverse!

I can reach her spot with my middle!

my ex girlfriend was also quite the fan

it definently gets them going..."like you play bass!" : )

You know, our hands are only part of the attraction. Ask any woman who has sat on a bass amp (or on furniture directly touching the amp) when you are playing at volume, and playing a high speed drone passage (lots of 16ths in tight clusters).

My singer.... noticed .... that last rehearsal. She started looking at me in an entirely different light. However, I'm of the opinion that certain things just don't get done with bandmates, and anyhow, my wife certainly wouldn't approve.

;) ;) i've gotten many a compliment on my finger technique.;) ;)

I've always been commented on for all my different "finger techniques". It's a bass player thing. :smug:

working out works better for pleasing the women than playing bass does. but the fingers, yes the fingers

Strangely, I've been told I have really soft hands.

Yes. Dear Christ, yes. I've never had problems with it.

It's the two-finger plucking technique. Let's just say it has other uses :cool: :D

I've experienced this as well. I wonder if pick ( I SAID PICK!) players get the same compliments!

I doubt it man, I think a pick might not feel very good for the lady.
