Each definitely applies to me! My parents are probably getting tired of hearing about all that stuff. "He's playing a pre-CBS J, check out the concentric knobs and clay dot inlays! I bet there's a slab fingerboard on that baby!"jm1 said:
Stingray and bimplizkit are funny as hell. I'll see if I can't match your comedic genius.

C'mon guys, if you choce to play bass, there is at least a little genius in you.When you're holding your friend's electric guitar as a favor and you bust out "OMG THESE STRINGS ARE TINY!" then you pluck the higest string on a higher fret, then you are tempted to break every one of em.
Or maybe I'm just a troubled youngster.

*shakes head*
- you listen to victor wooten's a show of hands and cry.
- you stand like les claypool with one leg up and your arms out like you're holding your bass when you don't have it with you.
-you give the most respect to bass players when you see them live, because you know how they feel

I never really dug how Ned's Atomic Dustbin had two bass players. Too muddy. And that's the problem with having two bass players. But, if you ever listen to Too Short, his bass player Ant Banks is great at it. Listen to the album with all of the naked black girls on the front of it. He jams.

Ain't that the truth, I always give bass players (well, only if they show some kind of talent or ambition towards the isntrument and seem like nice people) a lot of props because I know how it feels to have everyone go over to the guitarist and or singer and forget about the rythm section. Their losses, lets see how they like it when the bassists and drummers leave and with them the funk.
You know your a bass player if...
-you try to sing along to a song on the radio and end up singing the bass part. (ugg)
-you try to play your friends guitar and only end up using the bottom 4 strings.
-you see a car accident and start thinking about Fender basses.

oh yeah...
you know your a bass player if your friend asks you to play her favorite Blink 182 song, you make her promise she will listen to the whole thing, and after 3 minutes of playing 4 notes, she says you suck at Guitar!

You're saving up for a hit on the drummer from the white stripes
You spend a large part of your life putting on CDs and saying "wait for the bass solo"
You listen to truly appaling music from past decades
You love a good root motion
