"So, three bassists walk into a bar..."

Three basses were swimming upstream and bumped into a wall. One of them said "dam."
The second looked at the first and said "I thought you said the bar was this way?"
The third said "This sucks. I'm definitely not drunk enough for this stupid joke."
 
Three bassists attempting to walk in the same bar is a joke in itself.

I'm a NARB (Not a Real Bassist) but I was once playing in a church with an organist. Who was actually a pretty good bass player with her feet, but I'm like .... uh ma'am - I've only got one note - AND YOU'RE ON IT!"

After the show:
Guitarist to bassist - "Hey look. I got a flare gun at the gun show."
The manager of the bar screams out "Hey stupid, get that out of here. You're going to burn this place down."
Bassist: "Umpf! Nowadays, they can't even get the line right."
 
my two personal favorites :D

Three bassists walk into a crowded bar on Halloween dressed as Star Wars characters. They sit down at the bar, put down their gig bags, and have a round. Turns out the bartender is a musician too, so the four of them talk shop for awhile, until one of them gets up, picks up his gig bag, and starts to leave. The bartender stops him and says, "Wait -- can I see your bass before you leave?" The guy takes the bass out of the gig bag and shows it to the bartender. The bartender, clearly impressed, says, "Great bass, Vader!" The bassist thanks him for the compliment and leaves.

After another round, the second bassist gets up to leave. The bartender asks to see his bass before he leaves. He obliges, and the impressed bartender says, "Great bass, Skywalker!" The bassist thanks him for the compliment and leaves.

The last bassist decides to stick around for a little longer, and when he's ready to leave the bartender asks to see his bass. He takes it out of the gig bag and holds it up for the bartender to see. Before the bartender can say anything, everyone else in the bar suddenly gets up and walks out. The bassist looks at the bartender quizzically and asks, "What just happened? Why did everyone suddenly leave?"

The bartender shrugs and says, "Beats me. I thought it was a great bass, Solo."

Get it? Get it? :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

What? That would never happen. Everyone knows that bass players never change light bulbs. They boil them to make them bright again.
