At band practice tonight my long time friend and guitarist heard me playing some solo stuff while they were out having a smoke, and told me to stop trying be a guitar player in a really ignorant tone. (he is always going on about how he hates it when bassists use effects and tap and do anything really other than play basic rhythm). I socked him in the mouth. Felt good.

+1 million. I'm the non-violent type but why do so many guitarists think that they know what makes a bassist? Granted there are plenty that do it just seems that the ones who have no idea are the loudest.

I'm not normally one for violence, but I'm assuming he's had it coming for a while...

Lots of guitarists like to just have a solid foundation so they can wank off and not have to listen to anyone else.

Hehehe wankers......

Dude had it coming. That should help the next round of bassists he has to listen to. He'll shut up for a while.

Definitely not how I expected the story to end, but still a great way to end it.

I'm fortunate enough to have played with guitarists who not only understand what a bassist is, but also encourages me to do crazy stuff like that. And by crazy stuff, I mean effects and tapping, not socking people in the mouth.

+1 IME Some guitarists have a hard time accepting they might have to share ANY limelight or attention due to another band members talent/musicality...not all...but some, then further down the line they grow up...not all...but some IME

I'm not for violence but....when someone is giving their mind a treat at your expense......fair game

A healthy, able-bodied adult male hitting another healthy, able bodied adult male one time in the pucker is not violence, particularly if the two are friends/band mates/acquaintances.

It is settling differences, establishing boundaries, or one could even say teaching him not to run his mouth.

Kudos good sir.

Good on you, sir. I wish I could punch some musicians in the mouth, but I'll settle for disrupting their innards with godlyke thwomping.
