| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: Kansas | | The second I put my bass gig bag over my shoulder and walk around on campus, suddenly more people look at me, probably wondering what kind of music I play. Except I always get stuff like:
Them: "What kind of guitar is that?"
Me: "It's a bass, actually."
Them: either says "oh" and they're done, or... "Is it a Fender?"
Me: "No, it's a Musicman Stingray."
Them: either says "oh" and they're done, or... "You should get a Fender."
My bass playing brings all the people to the bar,
They're like, "Do you have a Fender?"
I'm like, "No, I have a Musicman."
"I could teach you, but...*cuts in* "No I don't want lessons. You should get a Fender."
Nah nah, nah nah, nah.
Get a Fender.

| | | | A friend of mine has a shirt from the onion.
You guys ever seen those Che shirts with the stylized Guerillero Heronico (I.e. That famous picture of Che) on them? My friend's Onion shirt has a picture of Che (in Guerillero Heronico pose) wearing one of those shirts on it. Hilarious.
Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Any time I take my bass anywhere, I get at least 2 or 3 hobos/crazies/random shady dudes trying to follow me around and talk my ear off or ask me questions. Headphones and a book are absolutely required.

Unless you pull out the guitar and start strumming and singing, if it is remotely good, then they will turn around and you can even make a few bucks in a big city this way.
Then you look cool.
Music does make people happy, that's one of the positive things that make me happy and prevent me for thinking this world totally sucks. That and hot chicas.
