"Geez...I thought a guy who looked like you would play better than that! Aren't you people SUPPOSED to play bass awesome?!"
and/ or
"Aren't you guys supposed to play funk like really well? Do some slappin and poppin!"
If that's a bit too hot for the kitchen, I also hear the "bass is easier" all the time (from people who've never blown a kazoo mch less played ANY instrument)
Worst one was from my wife "The Bass doesn't matter in a song! I cant tell what the song is from the bass part!" (as I play Linkin Park's "One Step Closer")
I mean I know I'm horrible but still....ouch Methinks that was jealousy talking...

The bass one is this: Quote: |
Bassists are not terribly smart. The best bassists come to terms with their limitations by playing simple lines and rarely soloing. During the better musical moments, a bassist will pull his strings hard and grunt like an animal. Bass players are built big, with paws for hands, and they are always bent over awkwardly. If you talk to the bassist during a break, you will not be able to tell whether or not he’s listening.
| Yeah, fits me pretty well.
