the bass players tipple (drink)

[Deluge Of Sound]

In some circles I run in, you'll be hard pressed to beat The S------(name hidden to protect the hideous, hideous man who came up with this drink) Surprise:
1/3 Old Crow
1/3 Admiral Nelson's
1/3 Grape Drink.
(that's not the portions, obviously, but that's probably closer than it should be...)
If you want to get destroyed on the cheap, you could do much worse than The Surprise.

Or, if you want it to sneak up on you, there's REPTAR:
1/5 White Cranberry Peach Juice
1/5 Pineapple Juice
1/5 99 Bananas
1/5 Vodka
1/5 Rum
1/5 More Booze.

May cause blindness, but mixed correctly the alcohol is practically hidden.

EDIT: I in no way condone these beverages for paid shows. But for wasted jam sessions, you can't go wrong.

 

[popinfresh]

Jager bombs! Or raspberry lemonade with bourbon, vodka and malibu in it, if I know the bar chick, or just beer.

 

[Stingray_EB]

Either JD and Coke, or Southern Comfort and Lemonade, that is of course when im not drinking the beer.

 

[Tony In Philly]

For onstage, preferably a Belgian White type ale such as Hoegaarden or Blue Moon.

 

[Shovelbone]

ok ladies and gents although many of the bass players on this site dont drink i'm just wondering what the bass players chosen beverage is (btw if you dont drink feel free to add "water" or "orange juice" to the thread its only a bit of fun)
one chosen drink per bassist please like i said it doesnt have to be alcoholic and it doesnt have to be something you drink onstage or at a gig just the tipple you preffer the most as a bass player

ok i'll kick things off my guilty pleasure is Jack daniels served ice cold neat or with dry ginger

A nice pino grigio

 

[hdmoto]

Homebrew is the way to go!!
I make a killer IPA.....

 

[sarcastro83]

I only drink when jamming, and in that case, it's usually whatever is cheap at the beer store that doesn't come in a 40 oz bottle.

 

[wallstreet]

scotch, scotch, scotch, i love scotch.

 

[CHILDISHGAMBINO]

3 pints of Oba - a local amber ale - and a shot of Jager before every show.

 

[OneToBeOne]

As many beers as I can down before I go up (My favorite being PBR's). I stay away from shots or liquor until after I'm done playing because that just makes me plain sloppy. Beer makes me awesome (at least I think so )

 

[Rickett Customs]

Onstage: Coke or Pepsi.

Offstage: Iced tea, coke/pepsi or vitamin water.

I go caffeinated either way

[El-Bob]

Coke or Coffee for me. gotta have my caffeine fix or i get headaches

 

[HappyCakeOven]

Jack Daniels and Coke, but the Jack kinda ruins the coke,
so I drink mine straight.

 

[Phalex]

My favorite libation is one of the many locally brewed beers we have around here. I've noticed a trend lately however that by the fourth set big tall glasses of strong beer have a deleterious effect on my playing ability. So these days, I stick to 12oz bottles of crappy mass produced beer.

On the occasion that I have a cocktail, I will opt for a Stoli Gimlet during the warm months, or a Bushmills neat during the winter months.

 

[chutsk10]

Depends on my mood. . .

white Russians
Southern Comfort and orange juice
white rum and rootbeer (yeah it happened by mistake but it tastes like candy)

 

[The_Owl]

Alcoholic: Stella Artois (after a gig), Jaegermaister.

Non-Alcoholic: Coke

 

[Liko]

My hard drink of choice is single-malt Scotch, with either a short splash of water or on the rocks depending on the Scotch. Failing that, gimme a beer, preferably Shiner or ZiegenBock.

 

[namraj]

God we're all wimps no drinks a hearty ale or lager, but for me onstage: desparado's or water
offstage: Black Sambouca (after not before playing)

 

[loend68]

Jim Beam Black and diet coke......

supported by the occasional Jager shot....

 

[larryl]

Usually frozen Stoli up with a olive tho never when gigging !
