Bass Players Finger Better

Q - How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
A - Six, one to change it, and the other five to fight off the lead guitarists who are hogging the light.

Similar to the others -

Q. How many bassists does it take to change a light bulb?

A. 8 - One to change it, three to stop the lead guitarists from hogging the light, two to stop the drummer from telling the bassist how it should be done, and two to fight off the keyboardist from doing it with his left hand.

I know a load-
How can you tell a bassist is behind you?
You can hear their knuckles dragging on the ground!

Why don't bassists get colds?
Cause even viruses have pride.

Why don't bassists play hide-and-seek?
Cause no-one will look for them.

What did the bassist get on his IQ test?
Drool

How do you get a bassist off your front doorstep?
Pay for the pizza.

How do you get a bassist to be quiet?
Put some music infront of him.

How do you tell a stage is level
The bassist drools from both sides of their mouth.

I was trying to keep them to jokes that were nice to bassists. A lot of those can be changed around for any musician. But since we've gone to making fun of (not with) bassists, here's some more:

What's a gentleman?
A man that can play bass, but doesn't.

What's perfect pitch?
When you can throw a bass in a trash can from 20 feet away and not hit the rim.

What's the difference between a bass and a trampoline?
You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

What's the difference between a pizza and a bassist?
A pizza can feed a family of 4.

A man gives his son an electric bass for his 15th birthday, along with a coupon for four bass lessons. When the son returns from his first lesson, the father asks, "So, what did you learn?"

"Well, I learned the first five notes on the E string."

Next week, after the second lesson, the father again asks about the progress, and the son replies, "this time I learned the first five notes on the A string."

One week later, the son comes home far later than expected, smelling of cigarettes and beer. So the father asks, "hey, what happened in today's lesson?"

"Dad, I'm sorry but I couldn't make it to my lesson. I had a gig!"

Which is better, guitar or bass?
Bass, of course - it burns longer.


Originally heard about violins and violas.
My viola-playing friends didn't think it was very funny.

Bassist #1: I nearly got in a fight with my drummer last night.
Bassist #2: Why, what happened?
Bassist #1: First - he turned one of my tuning pegs; then he wouldn't tell me which one!

Bass:

Because it's not the number of strings that counts...

but the girth
