If instead of having a rainy day fund you have a GK Fusion 550 fund that you put $1 in every time you say a bad word.

That's like $40 a day for me.

Every one that posts regularly here (most, if not all, of which are bass players) know about the 1,000 post per thread thing.

you know your a bassist if you sing the bass solo on 'Yessongs' and 'the Who Live At The Royal Albert Hall' perfectly everytime with perfect air guitar and exact reproduction of the techniques used without thinking about it.

You know you're a bass player if you can groove to your car's turn signal.

I have a beard, no goatee, and none of that moustache or cheek fuzz, just sideburns down to my chin (and under it)

The local ice-hockey team here is called "the Espoo Blues", and I just saw this headline in a paper a few days ago saying something about how Blues fans are parking all over the place. I thought what does your taste of music have to do with your car parking. Took me a while to realize it was about ice-hockey fans...

When you messed up the last 30 seconds of a song (I forgot my line :S) and just try and play by ear and no one notices.

At least they said it seemed ok and no one said anything bad.
