Sign in to disble this ad
So, I'm sure this has been done before, but I'd like to get this thread going for musician jokes, dig?

Q - How many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb?

A - One. Five. One. Five.

<hR>
Q: How are a banjo player and a blind javelin thrower alike?

A: Both command immediate attention and alarm, and force everyone to move out of range.
<hr>
Q: What do you do if you see a bleeding drummer running around in your back yard?

A: Stop laughing and shoot again.
<hr>

Ok, so that's my piece, add on if you've heard any good ones lately.

Sorry, I wasn't sure if it could go there, since it wasn't specifically for bass. Thanks for moving it, though.

OK. Heres a couple that are popular in Las Vegas:

1. How can you tell a Las Vegas drummer is knocking at your door?

The knock gets progressively slower.
(I guess thats why sequencers have become so popular here.)

2. How can your tell a Las Vegas "chick singer" is at your door?

She cant find her key and doesn't know how to come in.

3. How many Las Vegas "chick singers" does it take to change a light bulb?

Punchline 1. One to hold the bulb and the world will revolve around her.

Punchline 2. None. She'll get the band to do it for her.

4. Where do you find a good Las Vegas agent?

At the bottom of Lake Mead.

Thank You and Good Night.

Git-arist sees bass player* crying and in a fit of uncharacteristic pity goes up to talk to him:
Git: What's the matter?
Bass: The drummer's detuned one of my strings!...
Git: So... What's the problem?
Bass: He won't tell me which one!
*NB: This works especially well if the bass player has >4 strings.

Q: How many TBL subscribers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: 11. 1 to change the bulb, 5 to boast about how Jeff Berlin would have changed it, and another 5 to argue about whether JB's method is worth using.
(I'm just telling it like I see it. no offense meant!)

Q: How many 8-string bass players does it take to change a lightbulb.
A: Only one, but there are darn few to choose from.

The surgen said, " I have a doctor's brain for cheap." The man said," We'll that's great, what else do you have?" The surgen said, " I also have the brain of a rocket scientist, but that's just a little more pricy." The man replied, " Wow if you have the brain of a rocket scientist, the last one must be really smart." The surgen said, " The most expensive one I have, is a dummer's brain."
