This is based on the incorrect assumption that guitarist actually recognize our existence, which they are inherently unable to do.

If a guitard needs to speak with me I insist he bow at my feet and not lift his gaze from my toes. Guitard must then direct all inquiry to the drummer, but all the while referring to me in the third person as "His Bassjesty."
The drummer can either pass the guitard's message along or administer a series of blows to the head with his mallets until the guitard is back under his rock.
Should a guitard choose to address me directly or look upon my face with his own eyes I remove him from my sight and replace him with another guitard from the infinite pile of skinny six string strummers that I keep in the moat around my castle because guitards are cheaper and easier to come by than water.
