Don't know what is up with my photobucket, but to be fair, here I am in all my female glory Saturday night:
You guys have some awesome comeback lines btw... definitely stashing those for later... and I REALLY hope that dude wasn't hitting on me because looking like a crybaby at your bar table definitely doesn't do it for the chicks...

My response to people like this is "Oh really? Show me, outplay me." Shuts em up usually.
BTW, was this guy's name Mark Olson?

Oh, and proof that I am, in fact, a bassist.

From the OP, it sounds to me like the d-bag didn't know who was the bass player he was dissing.
People like that, I find to be not worth the trouble it takes to scrape them off my boot. Most I ever usually give them is a shrug. Sometimes I'll ask where/when their next gig is, but even that just gives them an opening for a retort. Not going to change anybody's attitude, anyway.

If the guy was any kind of 'a real man' he would have apologised after your show and given you a compliment or two.
That's a great look you have going on, btw.
Thank you! Apology or not, I just felt better that I played so well. The crowd being into it was enough of a compliment for me (isn't that the only compliment a musician ever needs?)

This guy reminds me of the old saying "Better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt".
I don't see why a 5th string would indicate skill, I personally don't like 5 strings because I would never use that low B for anything, but that doesn't mean that I'm suddenly untalented or something like that. I would have wanted to knock him out too if he pulled that crap on me.
What !!!!!! You play with your fingers !!! Real man play with a Pick!!!! yada yada yada
And he didn't get into the 'Ampeg vs the world' thing either
I actually have been told that I am wrong for not using a pick in a rock band.
I mostly gig a 7...
OPINION... don't use one of my replies.
Drunk Dude (with friends): Hey man why do you need all of those strings.
Me: "Hi... I'm Tim... you must be a bass player"
Drunk Dude (with Friends): Yea... I rock (seriously the guy said this)
Me: You asked... Why so many strings?
Me: You have a 4 string bass
Drunk Dude with Friends: Yea a REAL Pbass
Drunk Dude (with friends): Gives his buddies the signals to listen
Me: (joking) well.. um... ... is it bragging that my wife says there's a string for every inch.
Me: (joking)... you said you have a 4 string Pbass... ... string for every inch.
His buddies busted out laughing and high-fiving.. his pals bought me a drink..... he became enraged with anger... and I spend the rest of the gig wondering how to get my gear out and my
Lesson Learned....
Wow that is some heavy-duty airbrushing.
