As a bassist I....

[rmayer]

Get to teach guitarists tempo.

 

[rashrader]

...love carrots.

 

[db59]

am Spartacus!

 

[StereoPlayer]

...saved a ton of money on my car insurance.

 

[ThinCrappyTone]

...secretly hate the treble guitar players. And their drummer friends.

 

[alack]

Set my stage volume just below that of the kick drum (Gotta hear that kick).

 

[Reedt2000]

... am by far the easiest guy in the band to work with.

 

[MG Wolf]

refrain from slapping my bass like it owes me money, and have cringed every time I've handed my instrument to a lead guitarist who wishes to display his proficiency on bass.

 

[baileyboy]

eat ice cream.

 

[InnerBass]

.....wake up late.

 

[ceesaar00]

...appreciate and enjoy playing with a drummer who can keep a steady tempo.

 

[StereoPlayer]

...my voice is unheard in the band.

 

[red_rhino]

.....wake up late.

When the sun is warm.

 

[Mannyinnewyork]

Appreciate a big bottom.

 

[dave64o]

... struggle with the guitarists not getting fundamental music theory concepts.


EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not claiming that I'm an expert. In fact, I'd say my knowledge is currently pretty basic (working on expanding it, though).. So If I end up having to explain something, it's BASIC!

 

[JGbassman]

Simultaneously make the singer (vocal harmonies) guitarist (solid backbone of the songs) and drummer (locked rhythms) all sound better, leading from the rear.

 

[dBChad]

took up arson as a hobby so people would consider me too unhinged to call me out for wearing shorts to a gig

 

[Ostie]

Have a hernia from schlepping a 8x10 cabs.

 

[Ostie]

Don’t get no respect.

 

[Skillet]

am mostly sober, or at least, more soberer than the guitarists.
