Double Bass Gig Haiku

[TroyK]

Jazz is happening
I love these new strings I have
But I just read hmmmm

 

[Jake deVilliers]

Jazz is happening
I love these new strings I have
But I just read hmmmm

You gonna get that tattooed on your butt TROIKA?

 

[fdeck]

Newbie needs new bass
Order from the Web and hope
For good toneplywoods

 

[Eric Swanson]

Drank too much at breaks
Feel was good but don't recall
Which tunes we just played

 

[william3]

Well thinking of you guys.

 

[bassteban]

Haven't gigged doghouse
For many a wind-kissed night
(slab- also ignored)

 

[boombloom]

broken string at gig
the show must go on tonight
borrow awful slab

 

[Sam Sherry]

Remember "gigging?"
I usually play for
My dog and goldfish

 

[Paul Warburton]

Remember "gigging?"
I usually play for
My dog and goldfish

You silly man.

 

[WalterBush]

Gig haiku for you
bassists seem invisible
however they play

 

[TroyK]

"It's great to see you
You look great, have you lost weight?"
Don't talk during bass solo

 

[fdeck]

Do you know this tune?
Flip flip flip flip flip flip flip
Yes I can play it

 

[Paul New]

Borrowed bass, steel strings
Oh no, I think they are starks
Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch

 

[Febs]

These are inspired by the show I played throughout the month of December:

Squeezed in tiny pit
Between the drums and a wall
Don't have room to bow.

Pianist can't groove.
Stop playing so many notes!
Cut off his left hand.

What the hell was that?
What happened to the downbeat?
Stupid conductor.

Singer enters late.
Did the conductor notice?
Apparently not.

Drummer sends a sub.
Orchestral percussionist.
Someone shoot me now.

 

[Bobby King]

Gut strings on my bass
God damn air conditioner
F*#ks with my tuning!

 

[bassist14]

very good thread this
Funny haikus about bass
Make me smile always

 

[kesslari]

The smiles and swaying
of the people as they groove.
Stringed boogie maker.

 

[Jefenator]

what part of QUIET
during a bass solo break
don't you frigging "get"?

drummer starts to rush
I lay back for all I'm worth
like that's going to work

vocals blasting me
singer still can't hear herself
why do I do this

they "need" to rehearse
how much does this pay again
next time I'll say no

 

[Bobby King]

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refridgerator

 

[TroyK]

Yeah let's play that tune!
About like this 1, 2, 3, 4
I thought you knew it?
