bass haiku

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm walking the bass
Now coming to a corner
Time for turnaround

Powerful low end
Pant legs flapping in the breeze
Drummer says too loud!

Shape of an upright
Like a full figured woman
One I'd like to pluck

Right in the pocket
Holding the bottom down well
is its own reward

Thank God for Talkbass
Where all types of bass players
Can make silly posts

Won't you all join me?
You can post your own haiku
Make us laugh or cry

How do I stop this?
Caught in an infinite loop
Counting syllables!

How do I play this?
Maybe I'll use my fingers
Girls sure do enjoy

Those low notes I love

Done before, this was
Escaping me, the moment
In this game, I am

Edit: One quick search
Found: A load of other threads
My point: Ain't got one



Haiku hoedown

Rhythm, harmony
And melody all at once...
One note at a time.

No recognition;
Yet we're a necessity.
Job security!

Anytime you see
Someone shaking their booty,
Thank a bass player!

I do not play the bass
My bass plays me
Pumping rhythm through my veins

"Is that a guitar?"
Blinding red rage consumes me.
"Oh, are those your teeth?"

Fifteen years playing--
time to pick up a fretless.
Squished cats sound better.

"That can't be a bass -
They're supposed to have FOUR strings!"
Ignorant people...

From her neck to her body
Quilted maple top.
