Post your 'bass face'

You know it, your band-mates know it. Us bassists make some serious face.

So swallow your pride and post the most embarrassing, serious, groovin' face picture you have!

Here's mine at a local dive bar. And no, I wasn't about to murder someone. It hardly even looks like normal me, but was diggin' the goove too much to care, haha.

Sometimes our singer will space out and forget the lyrics, so I'll have to sing/shout them to her. At that moment, this photo was snapped:

That chest-high fence in front of the stage cracks me up. No face protection, so I guess it doesn't get too rowdy there. No full-size chain-link fence like Jeff Healey played behind at the Double Duece, haha.

Bit of a weird one I have to say! Hilarious nonetheless! Whoever started this bass face thread needs a medal!

It was a super hot summer day. I was probably day dreaming about air conditioning.
