The most appropriate drink for BASS players???

[the yeti]

Guinness please.

 

[guitar ed]

I don't drink "beer" that is the same color I pee. Just gives me the willys.

Bass Ale does the trick, every time.

[tigerbass]

Microbrews!

 

[lunarpollen]

A Belgian quadrupel

I vote for anything that has coffee in it with any combination of caramel, chocolate, white chocolate, mint, cinnamon, and toffee (real or fake). That makes for a good day.

And if you need alchohol: Guiness.

 

[Joe Gress]

Beer.

 

[brachal]

Makers Mark and Miller High Life is what I always end up with. I won't complain.

 

[mrkreuzschlitz]

Green Tea or fancy-pantsy coffee.

 

[bassgod1227]

If we're talking beer...it depends on where I'm playing. I love a good microbrew...but if I can't find that, it's either New Castle...Corona...or anything they'll give me.

But I don't drink beer that much. As for the real drinks, it's either Jager or Tequila...I could lick the headstock of my bass and probably get hammered....

Read the signature...

Being from the Pacific Northwest, I also have to go the microbrew route and say a Pyramid Hefeweizen on tap. That would be my drink of choice. Of course, in these turbulent economic times, one is not always able to go the "drink of choice" route. If fundage is running low, I fall back on the good ol' Coors Light.

 

[kennydakid]

stereotyping all musicians with drinks (alcoholic of course)

Bass - Something smooth, groovie, a background sort of drink, you notice when it is not there, well controlled.... White Russian, or a smooth belgin wheat ale

Drums - A little more energy than the bass drink, but not too out front, needs to have a little flashyness involved... an IPA or Jack and Coke

Guitar - alot of flashyness, energy is a must, rhythm is not of chief concern... A double Bock or a jager bomb

Vocals - A flaming shot or Everclear (where legal) or 151

PS, this almost sounds like it should be a vote. Maybe leave this going for a few day to get an idea of the choices to include and then open it up for voting.

 

[MattAT]

And guitards drink Purple Haze

Ha! Ha! Agreed! Beer should never taste like fruit. No oranges or limes please.

Becks Dark
Miller
Triple ales
Most dark beers really....
oh yeah and some Kombucha! .....anyone?

 

[Ric5]

my drink of choice ... Water

 

[capnsandwich]

Real bass players don't drink fake latte's from Starbucks, unless they want to taste burnt beans. We drink real lattes from independent (non corporate) coffee shops.

I don't care where you get it from, if it's got 5 shots of espresso like the one's I get then it'll work. It just so happens that there's a Starbucks on the way to every studio or practice spot that I play at and I know what I want from them.

 

[smogg]

Crown on the rocks with a black & tan chaser.

 

[mjolnir]

Jack and Coke all the way.

Personally, I prefer an elegant mixture of Jet Fuel A-1 and B, tetrodotoxin, botulinum toxin, WD40 to reduce heartburn, a little bit of plutonium for flavor, and battery acid for color.

It is awesome if drank with my favorite appetizer: shotgun shells dipped in polyethylene wax.

Everything else is gay.

PS: For between-sets rehydration I sip on mercury.

 

[El Beardo]

Straight Whisky is quite nice, I'll take Jameson over Jack tbh
Guinness is never a bad bet either.
