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

[justBrian]

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.

Ha! I literally laughed out loud when I read this-- because I do it.

 

[whiteXcorpse]

you know you play bass when you read all 281 posts and can relate to almost all of em'

 

[Gut_Implosion]

You know you're a bass player if your bass has more strings than your guitar (or guitarist's guitar)

 

[Charling]

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.

ha, in the UK your average high street price of ROUNDWOUNDS is about $20!

you know your a bass player if your reading this holding a large shaped piece of wood with metal wires and knobs that looks abit like an axe but doesn't kill people unless you plug it into a big wooden box and turn up the volume to ten and make a noise through a BIG pa.

the calluses on 7 of my fingers would disagree

 

[BassMus1k]

[Atshen]

only 7? use more fingers man

Why should he?

 

[teej]

Why should he?

Right said... I'm pretty comfortable using just my thumb, index finger, and middle finger... to pluck that is. I use my index, middle, and ring figers of my other hand to hold the strings.

...every time you are moving your cabs you think "Damn, I REALLY ought to have considered playing flute..."

Guilty. I play bass and euphonium, I envy the crap out of flautists.

 

[Brat]

I play the bass AND flute.

 

[teej]

Well I play bass, drums, and a little piano. OK, so I've got nothing.... Any Jethro Tull fans? Huh? HUH? Anybody?

Rock on.

That's quite a nice computer setup!!! I'm working on something like that, myself. I'm trying to find a good used Eurorack mixer.

Nice guitar, by the way.

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

You're walking through a furniture store explaining the differences in all the wood types to your wife. "Babe, I don't care what he said, that ain't mahogany!!" or "Sweet! Flame walnut!"

Hehe, it's always being Invalid Link Removed also... I was planning on doing some recordings for an internet radio show so I added a bunch of gear for clean voice recordings.

If only it was that clean and organized still

I was drooling over my grandma's dining room table. It has a rosewood center section with a flamed maple ring around it. Also, she's got some rosewood candy dishes. No way I can use them for a fingerboard, though.
