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

[Atshen]

And what two-note groove would that be?

Root - 5th. I often do that on dead moments on gigs (for example, when the guitarists tunes or adjusts his st00pid pedals).

it doesn't matter, as long you groove it.

You know you're a bass player if you wear those silly yellow gloves while washing dishes so your hands don't get all soft and your calouses stay intact.

 

[Tames]

When you try to guess what note the large truck driving by just created.

When your girlfriend asks, every time a band is on TV, "What kind of bass is *he* playing, smart guy?"... It irks me when I can't tell, especially having been a member here for almost a year now.

No calluses here.

 

[teej]

Me neither. I've got one on my foot, but I don't play with my feet.
Not yet, anyway.... I'm practicing.

When you think your guitarist has cut up one of his hands in a lawn mower and u hope its his right one. True Story LOL.

An empty bottle of Coke (I think it's a 600mL, and a plastic bottle not a glass one) makes an A.

Would glass make any difference?

does it make an A when you blow on it, or when you really really samsh it hard to the ground. If it makes an A i'm never buying a tuner again

 

[Shomy]

the material doesn't effect which tone is it, just it's color. The depth of the bottle effects the tone. You can add water in it to make higher soundes. you can add marks woth magic marker so you know where is your D

The bandmates and I have definitely spent a couple nights drinking beer and trying to create chords by varying the amount of liquid in the bottles.

 

[bige2002]

When you see the headstock of an electric guitar and think "oh no, another 6 string bass..."

 

[teej]

You know you're a bassist if you call Domino's automated number just to listen to the funky bass line playing in the background.

 

[Brat]

You unroll a Fruit By The Foot scack thingy and hold it like a bass and go "WOW! Almost the same scale size!"

 

[teej]

A Fruit by the Foot would be 36" scale ("Three feet of fun" = 36 inches).

 

[pepito]

You get kicked out of the band to make room for somebody's girlfriend, or Sid Viscious.

 

[bassinator89]

You laugh when guitarists bitch about the price of guitar strings

I like that one it's true too!

 

[teej]

Heck yeah! I've seen full sets as low at $1.00 (on sale). i hate shelling out $20 for a decent set of flatwounds and nylonwounds.
