Bassists with Beards Club

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)

A pic from 3 years (and 55 lbs. heavier) ago, but I still have the same stupid chin beard.

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?
