"How good are you?" "I'm okay..."

[CGremlin]

I aspire to mediocrity.

Seriously though, I don't consider myself a bad player, but I learned a long time ago that even if you think you're the shizznit, there's always room for improvement and there's almost certainly someone out there that can play circles around you. Well, unless you're Leland Sklar.

 

[MickyD]

So mediocre - love it

@tbirdsp is that pic of you? I ask because I shared it on my FB page because I like the shirt,
and it ends a friend of mine says he knows the person in the pic. The funny thing is
I live in Greece, he lives in Nebraska, so it's a bit amazing.

I kick ass on bass, am booked up through 2019 with gigs, and have 3 smokin hawt girlfriends. Not braggin or anything, it's just the way I roll!

Somebody wake this poor guy up.

Wait. Never mind. Let him sleep. He's having the best day of his life.

That's all well and good about kicking ass on bass, hot girlfriends and gigs, but what kind of rig do you use???

I'm the world's most "always shows up on time" bass player.

 

[Lichtaffen]

If it was 1949 then I'd be the best electric bass player in the world. Of course there wouldn't be any electric basses available to play back then...

I don't want to derail the thread or burst anyone's bubble, but I am BY FAR the best bassist in my basement. When one of our cats comes downstairs I crank it up and scare the crap out of them. Now THAT is talent!

For the record, about 4 gagillion inappropriate jokes just came to mind. And I left them all right here on the table. It was hard. But I did it.

I am an ok bass player. I do my homework and make sure not to waste anyone else's time by not knowing my parts. I show up on time and prepared. I have always been that way. I can't stand having to wait on big headed people that think they are superstars. They show up 30 minutes late and think nothing of it. time is a valuable thing and you don't get it back.

 

[orange joe]

same here

 

[frsbdg]

I wonder if it's available in size "extra medium?"

 

[strictlybass_ic]

Is there a slightly less optimistic version of this shirt for those of us still working our way up to okay? I'm thinking something like "world's most tolerable bass player" or something along those lines.

 

[DwaynieAD]

I have that shirt

 

[KevInDaBassment]

A big, rather drunk, but friendly, dude with dreadlocks - came up and told me I was an awesome bass player. I showed him the shirt - he said " Man, that should say you're the World's O-COOLEST Bass Player!". Like I said - he was drunk...

I love those kind of people in general, the drunkards usually make for the best fans

LOL, that reminds me of the "underhanded compliments" on that play they saw on I.T. Crowd. The bass version would probably be like:

"More than tolerable"
"The audience clapped"
"Not as loud as some bass players"

 

[Justice]

slightly off-topic but it reminds me of an interview with (i think) Paul Mccartney of the Beatles when he was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, and he replied "he is not even the best drummer in The Beatles"

 

[KickingBass]

I want that shirt

I have that shirt. Its on Amazon.

 

[Crash 56]

In the empty club, with one guy at the bar: "We want to thank our audient"

 

[Real Soon]

I'm an ok player!

Okay, player!
