Of course it was made by a bassist... no other person could... they even do not know the difference between guitar and bass

"Ow.. how beatiful you guitar... [pause] ... Why do it has only four string?"

It wouldn't be good if it weren't true.

1. No one else wants to.
2. You get gigs.

EXACTLY!

Everybody knows we're invisible and never get the girls. Even the guitarists know that, which makes me think the Wiki article must have been written by a drummer.

Any article that starts "Designed by Cliff Burton and created by the true bass god and master Jaco Pastorius at the beginning of time..." must be good...

I spend entirely too much time on unyclopedia and ytmnd lol.

But I remember in my last band I would try and write basslines that would require me to move the same time the lead guitarist would during his solos...just to get SOME praise from the ignorant who would just assume I was the one soloing. Heh. It worked on like three occasions.

Dream Theatre is apparently a famous bass player... "This page may contain factual material. In order to avoid the mental strain of processing this information, please add "in bed" to the end of each sentence as you read it aloud."

it can make things even funnier, eg. "As Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt-Dirnt-Dirnt-Dirnt-Dirnt-Dirnt-Dirnt says,"'in bed'

Bass guitar ( meaning "I can't drink more than 17 beers" in Urdu language )


LOL

I read the one about bass, but not bass players...
LOLed when I read this, "Even without lessons, and never having touched an instrument, you may already be overqualified to play in a punk band."

The shortage of bassists has been something of a boon for sad losers everywhere. In the olden days, dorks used to have to become engineers and programmers in order to have a chance at fame, fortune, and fabulous babes. In this new age of promise, even a nerdy, obese, slovenly oaf with body odor, lice, dandruff, and chronic halitosis, with the social skills of a table lamp and the IQ of a turnip, can be in-demand, successful, and lusted after. Just look at Wolfgang Van Halen. Rejoice!
win!
