Said to me at a gig last night: 'I thought you were just a bass player; you're actually a musician.' 
Edit: Getting sigged can, at times, qualify.

No offense, but I have always heard it as *left-handed*. Mind you, I'm just a bass player.  What's more, my drummer(whom I love far more than just beyond dearly)is a lefty. That said, how about 'questionable compliments'?

Buddy beside her "I didn't notice any difference in the bass"
Second girl "Oooh! I thought you were the rhythm guitarist!"
