What other instrument will shake your...uh...insides...with one one note? (they call em vibrators for a reason, fellas)...
We drive the groove without hogging the attention (Aiming to please, eh?)...
Fingerstyle leaves less scars than a plectrum...
And finally....
When you are surrounded by singers, guitarists and drummers, you can't help but look really damn good...

I don't get much reaction when chicks ask me what I do and I reply, "I play bass." I think my look and perceived attitude have a lot to do with the fact that I couldn't get laid in a crack neighborhood, even if I had a ten dollar bill on me.
To add to your thread, bassplayer13, I think chicks dig bassists because we do it with two fingers. |

Halfway through the gig I broke my E string. While my Dad took the car home to get me another pack, we tried a few things to cover. One of them was play the Oasis song Wonderwall, and since Id look like an idiot just sitting there, I had to go ahead and express my musical abilities vocally. Well needless to say, after that song, they asked me how old I was. I was 15 at the time, and I guess it showed. When I told them they made a comment about how they couldnt tell untill I sung.
Damn bass strings.
Peace

I agree with prior posts about chix responding to the primal qualities of the bottom end. Since our instrument is bigger, many bassists tend to be bigger people, (although I have never known of any correlation between male anatomy size and bass chops) and women like bigger fellas. Then there's always the cerebral person who likes the over-the-top musicality of my fills (rock trios rule for that sort of thing). If this person happens to be female, then it's usually a great thing. There's nothing to cap off a good gig better than a visit from Monica L in the parking lot, if you know what I mean.

Yeah the sitting on the bass cab is popular with the chicks. Maybe that's why.
Other than that, why is it the bass? Maybe it's just the person. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | | I've had girls come up to me occasionally... "can you play techno on that??" ..."i'll play whatever the hell you want!" 
my girlfriend likes me from a bassist aspect because of my arms. Something about the arms and hands. Must be all the lifting of the heavy cabs. Us bassists get in there with the dirt.. the guitarist just hires roadies and hairdressers..
Maybe because we don't outwardly try to be the star of the band because we know we already are...  and seem to be smarter and hold things together.
And we communicate better than the drummer... and the guitarist is too up himself.

About your signature. "John Entwistle only needed four strings." I saw him play an awesome 5min solo on an 8string.
