I feel ya. I cannot stand people calling my bass a guitar. It`s like calling a violin a guitar.

What's funny is when my mom calls my guitar a bass. I don't mind that, I think it's cool.

Yea but some would argue it is a bass guitar just like you have a sax and a baritone sax. I say f*** you bass IS like guitar but cooler

Thing is a bass is more like a violin than a guitar.
It's from the violin family.

The only people who remember I play bass are usually other bass playing friends of mine...

As far as I remember, I don't think I've ever been called a guitarist (except from when I was one). I'm happy about that

Don't they teach these things in school at all?? Everyone should know the difference between a guitar and a bass, even though it's a 6 string bass....

Ok, now it changed... Played a concert last friday and in the concert review in sunday's newspaper the reviewer mentioned "the two guitarists did their job well". Well, glad that I made a decent job but to be called a guitarist in public sucked...

Upright bass for sure. I suppose it applies to electric as well.

I'm in the process of trying to teach my 2 yr. old the difference between a bass and a guitar!

Hehe... the bad thing is that the reviewer is a cantor and often involved in different large scale musical events so he should definitely know the difference. If I had been playing an upright, I'm sure he wouldn't had called me a guitarist...

BTW: What does LMFAO mean? There's a lot of these abbreviations in use here that I haven't really learned yet... However, I think I have a clue about the meaning...
