halloween outfit

Sign in to disble this ad
so, my band is playing a houseparty for halloween, and i was thinking it would be fun to dress up.

what are some famous bassists with recognizable images that are easy enough to pull off without spending much money?

i'm a fat guy with a bc rich mockingbird or a g&l to play...

i was thinking of a blonde wig and being Duff...

any suggestions?

If you're fat don';t got as duff, it will just not work. You'll probably end up looking more like Vince Neil. Go as the Michelin Man instead.

geez, what would i have to find to do the bootsy? the bc rich is flashy enough. i've got a purple pimp hat... some cataract sunglasses, but i don't have any clothes that are flashy like that. all i have are tshirts and jeans...

hey, no hatin' on fat folks. just because some of us got the unlucky side of metabolism doesn't give anyone the right to make stabs. besides... if you were hip, you'd say the STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN... now there's an icon!

You've got a BC Rich? You're halfway to being a convincing (to 95% of people) to being a convincing Gene Simmons.

I was dubbed Matticus a few years back... possibly because there are just too many people named Matt. So this year I got myself a "Greek God" outfit. At a party last saturday people kept calling me Cesar, and I said "No, I AM MATTICUS!"

needless to say, it went over well

unfortunately my upper lip does nothing in the hair department.
also, it's freaking october, in the pacific northwest. wearing just underwear or a sock? no thanks. brrrrr!
but the gene simmons thing is a swell idea! i can pull that off pretty easy!

why do i have to be a bassist? because the band is playing and i'm the bassist. why not make it a famous bassist? i'm pretty sure the guitarist is going as obama. we've had obama playing guitar solos for us the past month. pretty awesome honor to have!

wonder if i can find a lemmy style facial hair i can paste on my face, or even a levin moustache... i'm almost willing to shave my head. never done that before...

well, who else plays the bc mockingbirds?

shave your head, wear a turtle neck, and go as a condom.
