Things A Cocky Bassist Would Say

[Helix]

I'm sure we can add some more cocky comments to Jared's video



Let me start

"I will only buy pedals if they come in a box".....pfff

"OMG, I would never, ever wear shorts on stage"......oh please

What do you got?

 

[FunkHead]

Finding the groove for "After Midnight" is simple. Eric Clapton or JJ Cale version.

I over-heard another bass player say he wouldn't be caught playing a four string bass.
I would like to believe the right amount of money would change his mind.

"I learned how to play Mustang Sally when I was two years old"

 

[Killed_by_Death]

 

[Helix]

"I pick my nose, and I pick my friends, but I never pick a bass"

 

[Helix]

"I will not play with any band that will not allow me to do at least a 5 minute bass solo"

 

[Watchootognbout]

"The Fender P-Bass is the only real bass!"

 

[Helix]

"My bass was made from a rare wood only found on top of Mt. Olympus"

"My bass was made from a rare wood only found on top of Mt. Olympus"

This bass is made from woods that only grow on the sides of active volcanoes. 4 guitarists died to build this instrument.

You'll never hear a rhythm/lead guitarist ever say, 'Man, I really knocked the bottom off of that one!'

If he does, Moe-slap both him, and the drummer...

I'm Jaco Pastorius " the greatest bass player in the world "

1- When you gone get you a real bass?
2- You can't play gospel with a 4
3- You can't play gospel with a P
4- It ain't funk if you're not slapping
5- Ken Smith is the best bass for gospel
6- I feel naked without a B string
7- (q) you must play play in a big church? (a) naw it's small to medium. (q) then why do you need such a big rig? (a) cause the sound man don't know what he's doing. He mixes everybody good but me. I don't go through the house

Man I got a lot more, but I'm a let you all drop some.

What did you expect, Bass players are nothing but bottom feeders.

 

[Royal Marine]

"I'm going to change that lightbulb on my own."

Hey! That last q&a is what EVERY bass player says! Not just the cocky ones. I've been called arrogant, opinionated, and a-al retentive! But, cocky?! Those are fighting words my friend!

Girl, I can make your body shake like the B string on a short-scale.

"My bass was made from a rare wood only found on top of Mt. Olympus"
