[Beginner Bass]

Why did you get a tattoo of a cello?

 

[rtslinger]

okay here is the whole sorted history

Bass clef
When the F-clef is placed on the fourth line, it is called the bass clef. This is the only F-clef used today, so that the terms "F-clef" and "bass clef" are often regarded as synonymous.

This clef is used for the cello, euphonium, double bass, bass guitar, bassoon, contrabassoon, trombone, baritone, tuba, and timpani. It is also used for the lowest notes of the horn, and for the baritone and bass voices. Tenor voice is notated in bass clef when the tenor and bass are written on the same staff. Bass clef is the bottom clef in the grand staff for harp and keyboard instruments. The contrabassoon, double bass and electric bass sound an octave lower than the written pitch.




[edit] Baritone clef†
When the F-clef is placed on the third line, it is called the baritone clef.

This clef is no longer used. Previously, it was used to write the baritone part in vocal music.


[edit] Subbass clef†
When the F-clef is placed on the fifth line, it is called the subbass clef. The use of this clef gives the same note names as the treble clef, but the actual notes are two octaves lower.

This clef is no longer used. Formerly, it was used to write low bass parts.

This was my first tattoo, done on my 41st Birthday.

 

[Wasted Bassist]

Why do you guys have frownie face tattoos?

I made my friend a shirt with a bass clef turned sideways with the words "This is my sad bass" underneath.

A Duran Duran tattoo! Brilliant. I'm thinking of the same 'eye' design too.

 

[AddictedtoBass]

I knew someone would get the DD reference!
Plus, some of the Duran Duran bass lines inspire me!

Nice one!

By Rory at Banzai Tattoo in Pearl City on Oahu. Just a simplification of the double F clef design I've seen around. The artist (Rory) really did nice job with the texture. Just had it done, so it's still a little red...

That's a coincidence...I have a t-shirt of that very same thing. Above it says in Irish 'Ag casadh ceoil....ceol na Sí' which translates as 'playing music..the music of the fairies'.
