I feel so liberated right now.

At band practice tonight my long time friend and guitarist heard me playing some solo stuff while they were out having a smoke, and told me to stop trying be a guitar player in a really ignorant tone. (he is always going on about how he hates it when bassists use effects and tap and do anything really other than play basic rhythm). I socked him in the mouth. Felt good.

Hahahaha. Not the way I would respond, personally....but that is hilarious.

 

[whatiswhat]

everyone who owns an acoustic guitar thinks they can play bass. punch him again

 

[sandmangeck]

[bassteban]

Dear GOD I wish I could buy you a series of beers right now. You are the BEST.

+1 million. I'm the non-violent type but why do so many guitarists think that they know what makes a bassist? Granted there are plenty that do it just seems that the ones who have no idea are the loudest.

One word:

Metal.

[mmmmm_funky!]

You're my hero

I'm not normally one for violence, but I'm assuming he's had it coming for a while...

 

[sarcastro83]

micturate on his guitar, sir.

 

[jady]

Lots of guitarists like to just have a solid foundation so they can wank off and not have to listen to anyone else.

Hehehe wankers......

 

[capnsandwich]

Dude had it coming. That should help the next round of bassists he has to listen to. He'll shut up for a while.

I socked him in the mouth. Felt good.

Definitely not how I expected the story to end, but still a great way to end it.

I'm fortunate enough to have played with guitarists who not only understand what a bassist is, but also encourages me to do crazy stuff like that. And by crazy stuff, I mean effects and tapping, not socking people in the mouth.

+1 IME Some guitarists have a hard time accepting they might have to share ANY limelight or attention due to another band members talent/musicality...not all...but some, then further down the line they grow up...not all...but some IME

I'm not for violence but....when someone is giving their mind a treat at your expense......fair game

A healthy, able-bodied adult male hitting another healthy, able bodied adult male one time in the pucker is not violence, particularly if the two are friends/band mates/acquaintances.

It is settling differences, establishing boundaries, or one could even say teaching him not to run his mouth.

Kudos good sir.

 

[steamthief]

What chondro said. Ace of bass, to the face!

 

[MatticusMania]

I saw the sign!

 

[Staccato]

Guitards want ALL the glory...

Here's to you!

 

[Chriss62]

Good on you, sir. I wish I could punch some musicians in the mouth, but I'll settle for disrupting their innards with godlyke thwomping.
