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

[Mr_Sore_Fingerz]

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

LOL!!!!

 

[Mr_Sore_Fingerz]

When you go to Car Toys and ask the salesman if any of the amps there come with tube preamps

When the kids you play praise music for at church correct the adults when they call your instrument a "guitar"

When watching TV or a Movie with your girlfriend, you try to make a bassline to whatever music is playing


All of the above, guilty as charged

 

[Time Consumer]

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

Guilty

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

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

You refer to guitarists as guitards

Guilty

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

Guilty, all my life

Anytime a band is on TV, automatically identify bass/rig make/model

Guilty

when your on talk bass instead of doing class work

Guilty

Instead of reading Playboy you hit it off with a copy of Bass Player magazine

Guilty

When you have a bass clef tattooed

When your girlfriend gets jeaulos at the bass

Guilty

When you're playing bass at home and your wife gives you the "come and get me" look and you actually consider declining so you can keep playing. :scowl:

I'm guilty.

Ashamed to be guilty of this one

Ok, I got one,

I just found out I've been accepted into uni bassist:) and the first thing I've done is work out how I can budget the grant I get to pay for a new bass

Im not in school for music, but I think of my grants this way

when you use a yardstick and play "air" bass on it...
when you see Bass Pro shop and wish it was full of bass guitars..
when you turn the treble all the way down and the bass all the way up...

Guilty

Also, you've purchased clothing items because it would match your bass.

Guilty

Sometimes your girlfriend is ready to leave before you are because you have to finish playing that song.

Guilty

When you hold a guitar or play guitar hero you hold it like a bass.

Guilty of all these, and, to add one of my own. Im now guilty of spending half an hour this thread finding all the crazy bassist mannerisms im guilty of.

I'm studying English.

 

[undeadbass]

When your girlfriend jokes that you spend all your time on talkbass and not actually playing - until you remind her that you've either had a rehearsal or a gig every night of the week... AND you're playing bass while reading!

 

[JazzBass Love]

When your non-musician girlfriend knows about talkbass!

 

[Puck]

...you can identify what brand strap the bassist is using in a music video...and they only show him for three seconds.

...you recognize the bassline to a song in the cheesy musical notes print on your friends clothes, point at it, shout the title, and start air-bassing along...and they don't look at at you strange because they're used to it.

 

[BassGirl1122]

when you are at Walmart or a store and all you can hear is the bassline in the song they play on the PA or you are talking to someone and not paying attention to the music being played but your ears "perk" up when you hear the bass player pop the string in a song!

 

[BassGirl1122]

when this is your typical day:

 

[EclecticElectrk]

when you take your bass into the bathroom with you- so you don't miss it.

 

[EclecticElectrk]

one day we shall all have evolved beyond speech. bass will be enough. we will carry entire conversations in slap and pop. heck, i think we already can understand each other through our playing.

 

[BlackLake]

Sometimes I find myself just staring at my basses, totally blank thoughts, I just like lookin' at them.

 

[Fassa Albrecht]

One of the advantages of a Shergold is that it's only 30" so it'll fit in the toilet room!

Hmmmmm..slapping Morse code? Good idea!

Lol! im actually a bit closer to a music career since im studying electronics engineering, I may be designing and building ur rig some day.

 

[BassGirl1122]

when I went on a cruise back in April, and couldn't take my bass, I went nutty...I had bass withdrawals before I got on the boat! Well, the first thing I did after going to my stateroom is I hunted down a bass!! lol! made a beeline right to where a band was playing!
Good thing I didn't take my bass, we were without our suitcases for 3 days!! so you probably think my bass would've been one.
But I did have withdrawals and hunted every bass I could find down! lol!

also you know you got it bad when you are at the club, and play air bass along with the songs that you know...

my 8 year old got it bad b/c she uses the seat belt as her "bass" and tells me she is playing bass!

 

[Robybass]

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"...

LOL...... +1 It happend to me.

Good tread guys, been laughing my guts out.

 

[Parabolic Box]

When you hold a guitar or play guitar hero you hold it like a bass.

I really can't help it.

 

[nsmar4211]

.....When you used to make fun of someone for playing bass in their sleep...and then get told you now do it too

..when you drum your fingers on the counter at Taco Bell to the bass line playing on the musak ... What's worse is when the employees don't even give it a second thought cause you do it all the time...

.....when you're at a street festival and you dump your friends and hike across the parking lot because you heard a bass line/sound you want to go check out coming from a stage...

Guilty......so guilty.....
