Do you have a "bass face"?

Sign in to disble this ad
My wife teases me all the time...I have a particular "bass face" usually when I'm ape shittin funk slappin or in a good groove...I move my mouth and/or half smile. I wish I had a pic of it....my wife says it's the funniest look I have.

Any of you guys(and girls) have a bass face?

My face is rather human, unless I bite my cheeks, then I can sometimes resemble a bass.....

That's how most of us find out.

Yep. I've been told on several occasions that I'm fun to watch because of all my expressions and how I get into the music.

I can't post what my girlfriend actually said in a public forum. lol

These are all hilarious! I always laugh to myself when guys make "guitar player face"... hell, maybe I make one too!? There is a guitar player who jams with us every now and then who gives you the same look when he 1) is curious what chords are being played and 2) is making guitar player face, as in "you're diggin' my s***, aren't ya???" I never know if I should make my left hand more visible or nod my approval.

Mine tends to go from relaxed to barely restrained rage. It depends on the song and my emotional status at the time. When I gig I try to release all the pent up emotional ****, it was very therapeutic when my marriage was breaking up.

I'm pretty sure I don't have one. In fact, some people say I can look bored. I just don't have a look or show much when I'm playing. Doesn't mean I'm not having fun, it's just the way I am.

My wife says I make the same faces when we're alone together, so I don't know if I'd call it Bass Face........
