These girls love bass players. It is a strange attraction they have with us. Maybe its when they are standing near the stage and feel their insides rumbling and the floor vibrating that they are taken by us. Maybe its the big guitars we play (bigger is better). I know many girls who say how much they love bassists. Just thought you all should know

Where the hell are these girls? I've been gigging for
almost 15 years and they always go for the singer or
(lately) the drummer. I say this at the risk of starting
another drummer=animal thread (ouch!)

I think it´s the freudian thing: bigger is better. A Precision is more suitable in this matter than, say, a Steinberger stick bass.
Can someone ask that 7 string guy about his wiew on this subject?

In my experience I have found that girls do like to touch the Bass and sit on the cabs ( for comfort ) but they don't want to touch the Bass player... or perhaps it's me they don't want to touch !!!

What do you call a guitarist without a girlfriend?



Hopeless.

that is in fact true, i think the reason for it is not only do we hold everything together, and we know how to move around the whole body of our instrument quickly and with a very comforting agressiveness.. but we most also factor in that guitarists are to self centered and egotistical, singers never know when to come in, and drummers.... well i won't even go there. The best option would be us.
