I had a sub drummer look over at me and yell “Monkeyface!” We both started laughing. I definitely smile more on upright, just because it’s so doggone fun
I've caught glimpses over the years of photos or video of me playing more challenging passages and by the look on my face you'd think I was angry to be alive.
Totally would happen unconsciously but as I became aware of it and decided I didn't like it, just became something I slowly got away from.
Simply being conscientious of an issue is half the battle.

I’d rather have a scowl than have a John Mayer playing face.
”Tactical beard balm” sums that type up so much better than anything I’ve ever seen.
LOL, my face...either awesome note or a fart not sure which it was...lolView attachment 4826566
Killer bass!
I'm fairly certain that if I haven't practised enough and have to focus on playing too hard, I have an expression that looks like serious sinus trouble and being about to drool. This may have its advantages. The worst anyone could tell me is to confirm my own suspicions..
I will try to practise in advance of audiences though so I can be a bit more aware and not subject them to something that looks like a badly carved gargoyle, I am not that cruel.

I've been told I look like I'm playing in my sleep a lot of the time. Maybe I am and maybe I ain't.
That reminds me. I got to call for my results of my colonoscopy.
Based on seeing the photos from our gigs, smiling seems to be my default if I'm not singing.
I think we all have some form of this...I have no idea what I am thinking here...lol
Just grow a big beard and wear a hat, works for me!
But you are like the coolest looking bassist with your bass face!
Personally, I work on being less of an overt *sshole and just being a passive-smartass while playing bass - yep, I'm that guy - and I don't have to change facial expressions at all.
Gotta go with what I'm most comfortable being.

Early on I developed a cool bass face, and a cool groove move.
Then I saw a vid... the goofiest face one can imagine, and I could barely discern any movement at all.
I don't do those things anymore.

I only came here for the inevitable Haim pic.
I told me, I did, "within 5" and there it is at #4.
