What does your bass say about you?

Nothing says "I have a tiny wee-wee" like a 7+ string bass. 
A doubleneck bass says you're an attention whore who should play guiterrr.
And of course a P-bass says that you're an old grumpy bass player who likes to belittle non-P basses...

Ok, I have a white P bass = Spandau Ballet
I have a black Fender jazz
My third bass is a black G&L P bass. I guess
I finally got it right according to your chart
LOL

No, a P-Bass says that you're a Zen master who has honed in on The Essence and now knows how to drive a band and get people on their feet while hardly moving a muscle.

Or this!
"He's an old cheapskate, with no sense of style or fashion and doesn't care what others think, but he can play."

+1!
However, you unfortunately went home alone because nobody noticed you were there...
I think Ricks say you're rebelling against the 'P bass herd mentality' yet still stuck in conservative retro mode.
Which is fine.
Also partly the reason I like the look of Dingwall Super Js.

Well it depends which bass I'm wearing........
If the Bongo, it says, coo this guy must be a chick magnet cos they always come up and chat to him and admire his instrument....(it's the Bongo which is the chick magnet - not me).....but it will not invite people to use my lavatory (rest room).
If a P bass, J Bass or Stingray, it says, coo this guy must be gay - men always come and chat to him..............(it's the bass - they wanna know what model, what year, what strings, what mods etc etc etc (Stingrays generally excluded from the mods question - 2 band or 3 band; varnished neck or oil and wax replaces that question)
If a Dingwall - it says don't worry everyone, he chose me when he was wearing concave lenses in his spectacles.

Most of mine say, "This guy is no luthier. He buys us, makes plans to mod us, takes us apart, leaves us on the floor and goes off to gigs with his double bass. I want to be whole again!!!"
