That's where I was going. Doesn't the bass player always get the girl? (or er, guy if you're a woman or have alternate preferences. Not that there's anything wrong with that).
I was referred to as "Thumper" but I got the feeling that I was nothing more than a necessary evil (in the band leader's eyes).
They wanted me barely audible at practice, but during the gig I was supposed to bring extra cabinets and be loud enough to play at arena levels in a tiny little bar. It was quite weird.

"Mini Steve Harris"
Nice!
My Guitarist (not guitarded at all) once called me a female Jack Bruce. Which is nice, except that I'm quite a bit less than happy with his statements about Led Zep last year.
He said they were "crap". Sounds like he was just ticked off 'cause the Cream reunion didn't receive as much press as Led Zep's did, which was unfortunate, but that's no reason to slag the Zep, man. To be honest...I'm a ***way*** bigger fan of Led Zep, although I love Bruce's playing.
Still...nice to be compared to Cream's bassist!!!
Cherie
My old guitarist still calls me the bampada riff guy, because I used to be a really big slappin' wanker.
I wouldn't play with anyone who was stupid enough to play into this whole ridiculous "guitar vs. bass" rivalry.
In the drive through?
They call us Sir. As in "Would you like fries with that, sir?". Sometimes they call us by name if we go into the fast food joint and they recognize us.

Oh, that was a trick question!
When guitards get together, they don't talk about us. They talk about how much better they are than the other guitard.
At best, they might mention in passing "Yeah? Well, my bass player is better than YOUR bass player!"
Well I never said that it takes more than 1 guitard to have a conversation, mine has full fledged arguments,and he is the only one in the room.
Uhh... "the most accomplished musician in our band"? Seems pretty reasonable.. and not really over the top at all.
