- you don't need to detune to "D" when your guitarist does
- your guitarist gets flustered when you ask "What notes are in that chord?"
"Why?"
"So I can play a chord-appropriate bassline"
"Why don't you just play the root?"
"Because with the right notes, I can make that sorry-assed guitar lick sound good.."

I had to teach one drummer how to play a reggae beat.
Hihat closed on beats 2 & 4, and play the kick and cross-stick both on beat 3.
He still didn't understand. I was about to move him over and play it myself to demonstrate.
1) You correct people by saying "it's an electric bass" when they say "bass guitar".
2) You get upset when a nice song doesn't have an interesting bassline.
3) You hum your own basslines to those nice songs.
