Her: It's a nice guitar
Me: No it's a bass
Her: it has 5 strings ?
Me: Yes it has 5s
Her: [sexy voice on] It's so long and it's so hard, i'm so impressed ...[sexy voice off]




So, it seems thats where the conversation ended.

Please tell me it didnt! If it did, you better make a move before its too late!

Peace

Guitarist: Oh, you JUST play the bass.
ME:Uh' yeah.
Guitarist: Why don't you learn how to play the guitar.
ME: Because I have no desire to run around looking stupid.

note: He was a metal-wannabe. He didn't get it.


This happened when I went to get my first bass and didn't.

ME: (pointing to a bass) can see that.
Store idiot: You don't want to play that, you can't play anything on it, you need a guitar.
ME: Oh

note: Like a dummy I got the guitar, and now I would like to choke the F#$%@G$@&!!!! out of him.

yet another note: the preceeding F#$%@G$@&!!!! does not represent actual coherent speech. LOL

"Dude, thats one awesome electric dijaradoo!"

This may be a little off the topic but... I was once in an elevator with my bass in a rectangular case. There was one other occupant ... a girl in her late teens or early twenties. Conversation:

Girl: Are you a DJ?
Me: No, I'm a bassist.
Girl: What's that?
Me: Well, this is a bass guitar.
Girl: ( confused look)

I think I actually started to explain what it was. She lost interest within a sentence or two.

my "guitarist".......

"You know im not putting bass down or anything, but its pretty easy. I mean guitar- now thats hard. I bet if i played bass id be better than you right now." (I had been playing bass for about a month then- he had been playing for about a year and a half on guitar.......I think you know what he was thinking)


I was so shocked and mad I had no idea what to say. This is coming from a guy who has no idea what Ionian means to this day.

The Ultimate reply....

"Is that a guitar?"
or
"What do you do exactly?"
or
Whatever comes up...

"I'm the Lead bass player"

Girl looks at my bass and then looks at guitarist's guitar and says, "How come his is so smaller? It looks so cute!"

I was carrying my rectangular case around and as I walked pass a couple of guys, one of them whispered to the other, "Its a sniper rifle, he's gonna go postal..." That actually made me laugh my ass off. The best comments I get are usually from black guys, they always appreciate bass.

Here's the worst:"Eddie Captain...now he was a good bass player"
"Who's Eddie Captain?"
My sister walks up to me: "She meant Eric Clapton"
"Yeah, thats what I meant, Eric Clapton"
"But Eric Clapton plays guitar..."
Ignorance never ceases to amaze me, I was surpise my sister figured out she meant Eric Clapton.
