I can't sing and play bass at the same time (good job that, I have a terrible voice anyway)
I can't disentangle my ankle from the amp cord and play bass at the same time.
Next?

It's also impossible to signal the engineer to turn something up in your monitor whilst playing.
Flirting with the cutie dancing in front of the stage while playing bass? Now, that one's easy.  |

I just realized that's not necessarily a compliment 
I've done lots of strange things while playing bass...all I can think of is that I can't play three basses at one time, but I never tried with my feet.

It's much easier than singing, and your left hand remains free to play. Better yet, wear your bass low enough, and they can't hit below the belt without busting knuckles.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Wisconsin | | | I've tried it. I'll agree it's easier than singing but I still have some trouble throwing a decent punch and not hitting to bass on somebody I don't want to hit. If i'm using the T-40 i usually would swing the headstock at there head so I can keep playing.
