you look like a bass player

[CoDBassPlayer]

I think it's the hat. Bassist are always wearing hats.

I blame Jaco.

The only time I wear a hat is in the winter, and even then it's very rare. My hair keeps me warm.

And if your facial hair makes you a bassist I must be one. (I'm in 8th grade and I have the farthest grown moustache. Almost enough to keep it like that.)

im 6'3, fairly skinny, hands to big for my body, long curly hair with a hat, shy, and damn proud of it. i love being a bass player.

Well I've always been told the stereotypical bass player is a fat, curly-haired, tight t-shirt wearing, and sweaty bloke.
This is far from the truth, I know, but people tend to believe this (where I'm from anyway).

Sounds like me except for fat

Chicks dig bassists. (For numerous reasons )

 

[PABassPlayer]

my wife says she feels it in her "gina" when I practice.
I look like a bass player and according to my band mates
"I AM the biggest D*** in the band"

 

[dain bramage]

I'm probably joining this (mostly) covers hard rock band that plays to teenagers usually.


I'll be the only teenager in the band.

Hello girls.

 

[-Kramer-]

I think the bass player is the only one willing to dress/act different. The bass player is the unique one in the band.

Bass players have a cool look...whether it be in left field or "normal"
I seem to think I give off a cool vibe...

actually, my girlfriend recentlyl said I have a "bassplayer look"

must be my robust chin...

 

[Enden]

Stubby fingered bassists unite!

@ thumpette

Is it a rule that all male bassists have facial hair then?

If so , I def fit that description XD

I'm also the only one in the band with sideburns. Although, we're all 16, so they can't exactly grow them yet.

 

[iplaybassguitar]

I think you look like a bass player if you're the one who isn't wearing a tee shirt that says "I've got the biggest d**k in the band"

cuz we just know we do...were just not mean enough to hurt everyone else's feelings

 

[jive1]

Most people who don't know me think I'm a violinist, cellist, pianist, dry cleaner, physicist, engineer, grocer, video game designer, karate instructor, etc... before they think I'm a bassist.

One guy thought I was a cellist. My response is "you must be mistaking me for Yo Ma Ma"

 

[The_D]

I must fit the sterotype too then.

No-one has picked me out although when I met the band I am now with, the Guitarist did say he would have guessed but he was kinda cheating.
I was their to audition for the bass part!

Goatee, Skinhead and stubby hands.

Stubby handed bass players unite!!!

I think it's the hat. Bassist are always wearing hats.

I blame Jaco.

i am always in a hat. been that way since i was a young un. all my childhood pictures are of me in a hat. leon from skynyrd always wore a hat.

 

[spudmaster34]

I never wear hats, my hair keeps me warm. on the bus today, someone said that my hair reminded them of a lion

 

[Disc]

I dont even play bass yet and Ive gotten this. When I was talking to my dad about how i wanted to get into bass his response was "yeah, that kinda suits you". I asked why and he said the tallness+chill attitude did it (not his exact words, but my interpretation =P )

 

[macaroni tony]

I'm about 5'7" on a good day, 185lbs of muscle-turned-married guy pudge, short hair, usually clean shaven, fat hands and stubby fingers (short, stubby fingered club anyone?)

I don't think I fit any of the bass player qualifications, but I have gotten the "you look like a bass player" comment. Oh, wait....yeah it's probably cuz I'm black

 

[plankspanker13]

Being 6'2", I am the tallest dude in the band, and that usually gets me the bass player tag by default.

 

[Twocan]

For a while in college I put the bass down and did a solo guitar act. At least three times that I can recall, women walked up to me and said - "You look like a bass player, not a guitarist." I'll never quite understand if that was an insult, flattery or an observation of the huge bulge in my pants...

 

[Kipaste]

Once I was walking through a bar with my gigbag and a drunken woman stops me and asks if I'm a bass player. I said yes, and she asks "so you're hung like a horse and smoke like a chimney?"

 

[Gerhn Blanston]

The goatee or soul patch is a dead giveaway.
