the bass players tipple (drink)

Sign in to disble this ad
ok ladies and gents although many of the bass players on this site dont drink i'm just wondering what the bass players chosen beverage is (btw if you dont drink feel free to add "water" or "orange juice" to the thread its only a bit of fun)
one chosen drink per bassist please like i said it doesnt have to be alcoholic and it doesnt have to be something you drink onstage or at a gig just the tipple you preffer the most as a bass player

ok i'll kick things off my guilty pleasure is Jack daniels served ice cold neat or with dry ginger

I'm a sucker for some captains every now and then.

I don't drink too often though.

If I had to pick just one drink I'd pick a pint of John Smiths. From a well-maintained cellar it's just about the nicest pint ever.

Edit: Nothing to do with the brewery being just down the road - I do not have an undisclosed endorsement deal, sadly.

Almost any whiskey neat, or sometimes a Manhattan.

Good call!

Though I prefer Coffee and/or Cola while playing... my drink of choice is either a Black or White Russian

Bass Ale, of course. (I'm not joking - it is one of my favorite brews.)

Milk.

No joke. I have a big ol' thing of milk on stage with me.

Unless I am singing.

I love PBR and so do a lot of us here in WI.

With that, I love having a few PBR's before and during our set.

Peace

PBR on tap actually isn't bad!

I personally like to have a beer (whatever on tap is strongest) or pepsi is good too--I have been cutting down on drinking too much at gigs because of some bad experiences in the past! Water is a must on stage as well!

Beer. The best kind of beer is free beer.

Does any place offer free beer to the band anymore?

On stage: water.

Off stage: A couple of bottles of Blue Moon will hold me over well. Newport and Fat Tire also get the job done.
