did you ever SLEPT WITH A BASS??

I've played euphonium on the toilet. Haven't tried it with my tuba, though. Might try it later today.

I did fall asleep IN BAND CLASS with my euphonium, though.

The bass is an okay replacement for the girlfriend when she's not around, though no bass will keep you warm like a human body. I have slept next to my bass on many occasions, usually after some 4am epiphanies (they always come to me real late at night).
 
Last night after I got off of work(at 3 AM), I was sitting on my couch watching TV and writting a new song...next thing I know, my phone starts beeping telling me to wake up. I stood up and had to act quickly to catch my rogue P copy before it fell off of my lap because I was still half asleep. I'm beginning to think that directly after a 16 hour work day, I shouldn't try to play bass. So far, I've dinged the finish near the output jack by dropping it, and went to take it off forgetting that the fan was on...at least I only own cheap basses, so I'm not too worried about minor stuff like that.
