Which one's the bassist? A game

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, found this picture online with no explanatory text. It appears to be a band. I have my suspicions as to which guy plays the bass, but don't know for sure. Test your skills at stereotype and weigh in. Which numbered guy is it?

I would say 1 or 7. Then I would pair it down to 1. 7 is drinking a Heiniken, 1 is drinking a Budweiser and using the table to hold himself up.

In all actuallity, it is probably none of the above. I bet it is just some guys meeting at the Hard Rock before getting ready to go see the Michael Jackson reunion tour.

That was my original thought too. But he is the only one that is free standing and not supported by the table.

Daydreaming...yeah about how nice it would be to have a drummer who kept time, or a guitar player who knew how to play a whole song, who a guitar player who didn't feel the need to noodle between each song, or how nice it would be to have a singer that helped carry gear. or or or or....the list goes on...

It's gotta be 7, he has that look about him, cooly laid-back whilst the rest of the gang make a lot of noise to no great avail.

Also, someone asked why he didn't need to lean on the table to keep himself upright.

Because he's a bassist!!!!

I'm voting the guy in red

he's the goofiest looking (though not particularly goofy)

just seems like a bunch of metal guys needed a bass player, but nobody was willing to give up their BC rich guitars for 4 strings

so they got him
