this one made me laugh my a$$ off. from my drummer friend:
"a guy moves to africa, and noticed the sound of drums everywhere. so he asks a local what the drums were about. the local replies 'when drums play, good! when drums stop, very, very bad'.
one day after living there for a few weeks, he is walking through the village, and suddenly the drums stop. he panics, and again asks a local what is going on. the local's eye widen and as he screams 'BASS SOLO!' " |

What do you call a bass solo at a jazz jam?
Intermission.

After the drum solo, then the bass solo. So the natives keep the drums going, cuz no one wants to listen to a bass solo.

I am surrounded by bass discrimination, my guitarists are cool though, they pretend to fear the bass in the same kinda way. Telling them this one tomorrow :P
