It is even the source of my handle, which came about in 1988. Of course, having a real name of Hank also brings in a bit of rhyme and alliteration. What began as an innocent call from a bandleader to take a 4-bar slap solo break has become, in large part, my online identity. When giving out my handle (it's on my biz card, and is the root of some of my e-mail account names), I get a lot of different reaction, but it always brings a smile to my face, when an attractive woman does not see my biz card, but gets the e-mail address, and immediately asks if I play bass. My natural follow up question (unless the answer is already obvious) is an inquiry into her relationship status.

You are giving the casual music fan WAY to much credit for even knowing the difference between what sound is coming from what piece of wood.

Same here. I told her we needed to talk. Either she was going to have to buy her own bass or we were going to have a big problem.
