You know you´re obsessed with bass when...

[John Wentzien]

When you poop you think..."that fart was in E-flat"

 

[CTF6]

When you sit in the lobby of a nice hotel/office building/restaurant with ornate wood decorations and all you can think is "Damn, That'd make sweet custom! Why waste it on benches?" (Guilty.)

LOL
These are great. Keep them coming.
Here's mine.

When someone mentions a wood/ or tree the first thing you think of is what type of tone that wood makes.

When you start humming basslines and your accidentally audible and people look at you.

When your upset cause talkbass is having maintenance and you can't go on it.

guilty on all three.

 

[CTF6]

Also, when you change your sig to a list of the basses you own.

 

[John Wentzien]

When you pee you think "That is about a 105 guage" maybe 110 would be better...

 

[Psycho]

When listening to any song, you just listen to the bass parts and nothing else.

Oh so guilty on this bit... Especially The Trooper.

 

[Dargor]

When you have a bass clef tattooed

When your girlfriend gets jeaulos at the bass

 

[CDuff]

Firefox.
Just 2 tabs.
One is Talkbass.
The other is the email account where your TB notifications are sent.


On the topic of mahogany that somebody mentioned earlier. This place has really given me an unusually broad understanding of woods from around the world.
That can only be good.

 

[Kimpini]

When you turn in tests as late as possible so you can tab your favorite song on it...guilty

 

[DudeistMonk]

You hear the words G-string and don't think about a woman

Your the whitest kid you know but you own 30 funk albums

You know what the difference between a bass and a guitar is (apparently unless you play bass its impossible to tell)

Your car stereo settings look like this:
Treble: |
Bass: |||||||

You refer to guitarists as guitards

 

[Bassguy61]

A good (non-musical) friend mentions having work done on his fender, and you blurt out "Dude, I never knew you played!" before realizing he's talking about his car...

You walk bythe frozen section of Wal Mart and out of the corner of your eye you SWEAR you saw a box of "Bartolini" pasta before realizing it says "Bertoli"...

Both true stories...

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

When listening to any song, you just listen to the bass parts and nothing else.

I've done this since I was 6yrs old....am I strange?

 

[Brittain]

Or hanging on the wall. That couldn't be good.

Don't knock it till you've tried it...

 

[MoD_Scotty]

You're constantly on the lookout for music stores and pawn shops in every new city you visit.

You're so obsessed, it rubs off on your significant other; like how at every concert we go to, my wife asks me "what kind of bass is he playing?"

All of your other hobbies/interests get put on hold indefinitely, due to concentrating on bass (I have a couple fixer-upper cars that need to be fixed, and I'm even contemplating selling my "fun" car to buy a boring one...so I can spend less time on maintenance and more time on music).

 

[ZonGuy]

when you wake up and your bass is on the bed and your girlfriends on the floor

I have been sleeping with my bass in the bed for years. I wake up once or twice a night, play for 10 minutes or so in the dark and then go peacefully back to sleep.

As far as the other thing done in beds, the wifey insists the bass be off the bed.

 

[ZonGuy]

THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH LISTENING TO JONI MITCHELL

[ZonGuy]

I alos travel a lot. If I am driving, I have a junker bass that I throw in the trunk to play in the hotel room at nights.

If I travel and cant take my bass, I read music scores on the plane. Yes, people stare. I also bring a metronome, being very careful to remove the battery, lest it start clicking somewhere innapropriate.

 

[HaVIC5]

I prefer alternate plucking and galloping myself.

Just make the graphic your desktop image and be happy like the rest of us.

 

[mike_Ro11]
