Don't become a bass player

When you were young you decided to become a guitarist to get the chicks
But when you tried to join a band they already had 3 guitarist
So you decided to become a bass player
So you became a bass player figuring you could still get the chicks
Soon you found out the chicks don’t love bass players so you got no chicks
Don’t decide to become a bass player and you’ll get the chicks

Actually, in my 13 yr old brain this seemed like a logical step.
Yeah, the guitar slots were already taken, so I was left with bass.
Drums were too expensive and hard to lug around.
Girls always seemed to go for the singers.

I solved that problem by marrying the drummer's sister!
:D

ha ha ha funny see you get it posted in HUMOR SECTION taken from a TV commercial. Parody, posted it here to make bass players like myself laugh. Some took it serious which has really got me LMAO!
 
I suppose that it really doesn't matter that I'm the tallest, most physically fit, handsomest guy in the band.... We're all married, but when I walk in with my wife and my girlfriends, all the other chicks in the place get hot and jealous, and line up to see who can outdo each other for my attention. Its a competitive arena out there, guys. Make the most of it, and HOLD DOWN THE BOTTOM END!

ROTFLMAO!
 
I have been told at shows by a few ladies that the way I use my fingers is sexy. So I guess we all have different experiances.

This^ :-)
Plus I love the way it vibrates my body too.
Any show or club i go to to see a band play I'm parked in front of the bass player. I may not be screaming at the singer, but I get my fair share of picks tossed down my cleavage too :-)

A long time ago I gave up picks and seriously learned plucking with my fingers. After getting good and comfortable using my fingers I began to pluck with intensity and found the above post to be 100% true. I get lots of attention using my hands..... :bassist:
