    Posted this link in another thread, but have a feeling nobody clicked it. I know many of us have seen it countless times, but I'm certain just as many have never seen it. I feel it's essential viewing for bass players. :)

    Made me think about all the other great bass stuff out there. Please post your favorite funny bass vids. Here are a couple more from me:

    String Stretch? If I ever saw any bass player doing that to a poor defenseless bass, I'd slap him, snatch the bass from his hands and permanently revoke his license to play bass.

    Man, I'll give my strings a gentle tug up and down the neck, but I'd never shake it around that!

    When the guy says he's been playing bass for "a while" he probably means that he's been checking out the instrument his buddy left him during his lunch break a couple of hours ago. You have to love those Expert Village videos - no one seems to be able to figure out if they're serious or not.

    The string stretch video is an outtake from the new 3 Stooges movie.
    That's Larry attempting to play bass.
    Actually if you read the "More" section on the video it says he is with a circus.
    So obviously the guy is just a dumb clown.

    Guitar/bass flip fails are pretty damn funny.

    But so is a small combo jump stunt fail.
