We bassist are so under appreciated!

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy....

I agree! Maybe using the bottle is a slow form of a frontal lobotomy, but it's way more fun!

A lot of us have jobs, 99% of guitarists/singers/drummers don't.

I think we win.

but...but...I'm really a drummer that also knows how to play 8 other instruments...and I have a job and family.




You big meanie!

Not at all, actually. I couldn't care less.

I agree, could care less.

Do not be deceived by nor take lightly this bit of musicianship one describes simply as BASS... }{

Lowell George?

EDIT: sorry, didn't read the whole thread, if this was mentioned already

ive gotten praise before for being a bassist....its weird. its kinda unexpected and then you feel like you should feel good about it but nope....feels kinda dirty haha. im totally happy with the way i can play with my band so i see no reason to get praised or worshiped or whatever. if you do you job right no one notices you

That's where the temporary gym teacher from my school is from. She came to the US through a teacher exchange program. Her name is Ms.Adams. Another teacher from my school is also from Australia, but he's permanent. He never said where he's from though. His name is Mr. Steven Charles, but every one calls him either Mr.Charles or Charles.

Do either of them recognize how important Bass is and why all bass players should be recognized?

This thread is like a perpetual motion machine, just after a good nudge it keeps going and going and going and going and going.... modern sociology at its finest.

I think all bass player should be required by law to wear a t-shirt during their gig that states, "I am the bass player. Bow before me."

That should set the crowd straight.

+1
never under appreciated & I couldn't care less

 

[capnsandwich]

I love bassists! I get a b***r for bassists! How unappreciated is that?

 

[Vlad5]

I guess if a bassist really wants to be appreciated, they could just stop playing in the middle of a song. Then, after the band/crowd gets pissed, they can start playing again to shut em up and make em happy... Its a good ego boost, but may get them reprimanded by the more 'important' players in the band.

The troll vanished a while ago I think. Now we're just feeding each others humour
