I'm in an originals band, I helped write some of the songs we play, and yet I don't know all the words! I know the ones I have to sing, of course...

You know you're a bass geek when...





...you're the third best bass player in your band.

When you feel proud and ashamed at the same time while reading this thread

...when you are more interested in the female bass players gear than her and can talk to her about it and not sound like you're hitting on her.

You have mp3s of your basses on your iPod. Like I do.

When you somehow kind of befriend your number 1 bass influence....

When you go into a GC to see what's in the used section and think 'hmmm what kinda mods can I do with that one?'

[TomA1234]

When you notice that a bass player on T.V has strung is bass in reverse order but is a right handed player...

[Emibass]

When you go to sleep and all you´re thinking before get asleep is playing bass. I need vacations.....

[Emibass]

When you have pictures of your basses in your cell phone and watch them when you are away from home.

A little girl told me that I love my basses more than I love my wife.

I often wear a bass clef shirt and people think it's some weird emoticon. It's frustrating. It starts interesting conversations with people who know what it is, though.

You think that's bad. I got the same response from my WIFE

This happened to me the other night.

I was woken from a deep sleep. I was dreaming about my local Long and McQuade and one of the sales people "Mike" asked me if I wanted to order my new Ibanez bass in trans blue
