Bassists with Beards Club

Sign in to disble this ad
Is it just me watching some of my favorite bands and the bassists always have a beard? It might be a just a fluke or maybe it's just a bass thing. Some kind of conspiracy. Show off your beard and join.

-IF YOU DONT WANT A NUMBER TELL ME!
Some people are just showing off or commenting. If you have a picture or ask for a number you will get one.
-if you want to join without a beard with a patch or something like that, I will take it but I am not responsible for someone making fun of you

The coolest lame useless interestingly dumb club ever!

(this one is really old, so ill post more pics later)

Yes we do...See Rule #27a of the IBBU (International Brotherhood of Bassists Union) bylaws. Rule #27b says we must also have a closet full of Hawaiian shirts (fedora optional) and black Ts.

Sure, why not. This one has a life expectancy of another month or two before it's briefly turned into mutton chops.

It's a shame really, chicks dig it!

I dig my beard. I've grown it, shaved it, grown it again about 20 times. No number for me though...just showing off.

Does a soul patch count or is that a different club?
