Just thought I'd pass it on so you can share the feeling.

 

[khay0s]

Lamest...jokes...ever!

 

[thinking of you]

They called me stupid!

 

[geoffkhan]

No kidding. What's this with detuning a bass player's bass and thus rendering him helpless? There are a lot of lame jokes about that.

 

[Dream Works]

I think they're refering to bass players and not bassists...

The rhino one gave me a chuckle.

Any musician whose input I respect realizes that any instrument is as hard as you make it.

Simple
Drums - Charlie Watts
Guitar - Dude from Green Day
Bass - The typical 1-5 bluegrass line

Difficult
Drums - Virgil Donati, Peart, Danny Carey,
Guitar - Vai, Satriani, anybody playing Jazz guitar
Bass - Wooten, Sheehan, etc.

Most of the bassist and guitarist jokes were really lame. There were a few drummer jokes that I hadn't heard and I thought were pretty good.

Um, so if a bassist doesn't play bass, then what does he play?

 

[geoffkhan]

Ah, you see, bassists play electric bass, and bass players play bass guitar.

Eh, i dont mind a good bass player joke every now and then.

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Ah, you see, bassists play electric bass, and bass players play bass guitar.

Same thing. I've never gotten why people try to deny that electric bass is a member of the guitar family. Afraid of being concieved as a wannabe guitarist?

Good one, Mark

No one wants to admit that we are all just Extended Range Guitarists

I'm an extended range luteist myself.

Q - How many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb?
A - One, but the guitarist has to show him first

Uh... isn't it the other way around?

Q - Why do bands have bass players?
A - To translate for the drummer.

This one was mentioned twice.

Yeah... I don't like them either.

NB these should be in Bass Humour.

 

[Atshen]

Ah, you see, bassists play electric bass, and bass players play bass guitar.

What if I play an electric bass guitar?

Uh... isn't it the other way around?

Yeah, often.

Some of those jokes are actually funny. Some of them I saw adapted to guitarists and/or drummers.

It's called humor, calm down, people.

It's called humor, calm down, people.

On my side of the world, it's humour.
