You know you're a bass player if...

[Stingraymund]

- While playing tennis you found yourself slapping the racket between matches.

- You've unconsciously misopronounced the name of a fish with a familiar spelling.

- You've parked your car in a parking lot that didn't have any parking space lines and went, "Ooh, fretless!"

- Your WindowsXP user icon is that bass guitar.

- You cheered or laughed loudly at the cello-bass guitar scene in the movie "School of Rock."

- While at a car dealership and looking at a pickup truck, you ask if it's got a P or a J.

Come on folks, feel free to add.

Yep. When I got my new computer and that bass icon came up, I thought to myself "Even the computer knows I'm a bass player". That meant something to me and you can believe I did leave the icon in place.
Anyway, I know I'm a bass player because I always hear the bass line of every piece of music I listen to. If the piece doesn't use any bass, I make something up and hum my bass line along with the music. I'm compelled to do this all the time.

LMAO - i like that one! I'm still laughing.

You know you're a bass player if:

-you call all BMWs Bongos.

-you REALLY BELIEVE that there's a resemblence.

-when you get all excited for a moment when you see the new fishing magazine.

-you keep a bass in your bathroom.

-you understand the phrase, "Hey, that Sadowski has a badass and barts in it? Sweeeet."

...your wife can't open things like jar lids or bottle caps after you've closed them (toothpaste, shampoo, ketchup, peanut butter, mayonnaise, etc.)

I don't mean to tighten the bejeezus out of the lids, but years of bass playing has had an effect on my grip.

Boy, does she get mad when she can't open something....

"^$#@&!()$^$ bass player!!!! Get over here and open this damn jar!!!!"

Oops.

Hmmm... you've got a point there. Unless you're married and have gigged for years, my post probably won't make much sense.

You know you're a bass player if:

A) Not only did you laugh when Jack Black gave the cello player the bass, but you were pissed that he told her to just play a G, and then gave every instrument a solo except the bass.

B) You start to notice china cabinets and check to see if the china is secured well inside.

C) You know the double bass does not mean two bass players in a band.

 

[Josh Ryan]

Your constantly pulling for the underdog.

...and you know that double bass has nothing to do with big drum sets or their kick drums...
