Got the greatest compliment ever last night.

Played a cover gig.

After the 2nd set, I was sitting at a table eating a protein muffin, a girl approaches me and says, "You guys are really awesome, what's the name of your band?" I tell her, and then she says, "I'm curious though? I notice your band doesn't have a bass player, how come?"

"Nobody notices them anyway, so why have em?" and go back to eating.

I laughed out loud and said, "Thanks. I AM the bassist." She said, "Then why are you hiding?" I wasn't, so I wasn't quite sure how to respond after that. I think I said, "OK, I won't hide anymore." I think she got embarrassed - she walked away.

That's an awesome compliment! If people notice I'm there, it usually means I've done something to be noticed. (Usually not a good thing) I love it when I can sort of melt into the drum kit!

Add 1000 watts and a 6x10 to your current rig. Problem solved.

Maybe you don't look like a bass player!

Image is EVERYTHING, taste is NOTHING!

Could it be that you weren't playing a 4-string, so she mistook your bass for a guitar?

Hilarious.

You need a bigger amp bro - if she can't feel the bass in her chest cavity from outside the club door, you need more power.

were you playing a six string? cuz you know basses only have 4 strings, so if it's got six it's a reg'lar geetar.
