Not quite right. Technically we play an "electric bass guitar" but that's been shortened to just "bass" by many. There are baritone guitars, too - do you say you play the "baritone"? That'd really confuse the brass section.

Yeah, I know. I say bass guitar all the time since I do not play an upright bass. However, that is what the translation means.

Thread TL;DR so I hope this hasn't been poasted lately...

Good point...I should have said that "I know you didn't create this but..." and then gone into my "correctness police" diatribe. Too many people have the wrong impression about what we play...almost needs to be on the misinformation thread!

Talk about wrong impressions. I play a Steinberger Bass Guitar and many people ask, "What is that you are playing?"

There's a thread somewhere around here about odd questions we've gotten from people and one of them was "why does your guitar only have four strings?" Sounds like a meme candidate!

And I was SO hoping to see "Popeil" on the headstock!

One of the things I loved about the much maligned Chevy Citation was that I could fit my bike in the back without removing the wheels.

That's the first car I ever owned. Lasted a week before I T-boned a joker trying to cross the highway from a sidestreet. My next car was an AMC Concord. Yeah, I had taste...
