Baaaaad Bass Joke...

Saw this - kinda liked it...



I was walking down the street one day, when I saw this guy strangling a little kid.

'What's going on here?' I asked.

'I was playing bass in that club,' says the guy, 'and this little punk ran in and twisted one of my tuning pegs.'

'That's horrible,' I said, 'but it's no reason to brutalize him.'

The guy replied, 'Well, he won't tell me which one he messed with!'

Q: Why is a fretless bass like a SCUD missile?
A: Both are offensive and inaccurate.

Oh yeah? Well guitar hates you!

I can totally see where that would be a better guitar joke than a bassist joke. A bassist would just check his rackmount or pedal tuner and tune back up.

A guitarist would just hit a few harmonics and re-tune until it was passable and finish the gig. Either that or beat the little bastard to death with his own arm.

It means they're a full step off from each other (as in, one is playing an E while the other is playing a D).

That'd be a major second.

I see how it might look like I meant an Am chord, I littleised the A.

My drummer and I used to hit each other with drummer and bassist jokes. Of course I can't remember any of the bassist jokes . But here's an old classic:

Q. How can you tell when there's a drummer at your door?
A. He's knocking too fast.

I always heard it as "The knocking gets faster and fster and he doesn't know when to come in."



Q: How can you tell when there is a guitarist at the door?

A: When he says "Pizza delivery."

Q. What do you call a drummer who was just dumped by his girlfriend?
