what bassist stereotypes are you guilty of?
post them here.
i personally am guilty of wearing a stupid hat, bobbing my head when i get into a solid groove, {actually i think saying(typing) "solid groove" in itself is a bassist stereotype.} discussing music theory with people who don't understand it, and last but not least the "bass face".

Of course having a hot blond playing electric guitar next to me and ripping out solos probably has something to do with that. |
