WOW. Eden-Electronics has a whole page worth of bass jokes... They're all hating on bass players.. but my jaw actually dropped at this one...

"Why do bands have bass players? To translate for the drummer."

wow. It's VERY true. lol
 
I think that Jeff is a great bass player, but we really need to do something about the fanny pack. I really can't think of anything less cool than wearing a fanny pack.

I used to agree with you, until I started doing gigs out of the USA. When you're on tour you usually have to carry more "personal affects" than when you're tooling about in your home town, and, unless you live in Newark or Detroit, abroad you can encounter criminals with a level of audacity unlike anything Americans regularly see. A fanny pack is a simple way to deal with both these phenomena.

It still looks dorky as hell, but it is functional.
 
I had a student come in for lessons wearing a shirt that said E=Fb. I just thought it was funny enough to share. :smug:
