Pete Academy Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Bootsy and Billy Sheehan cite their reason for starting to play was to pull women. Was that your reason to take up bass, and has it given you the power to pull? Quote
voxpop Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Bass players never pull, they are the tall moody ones at the back........ thats me. Quote
KevB Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 In response to Pete.... No and , er...no. Well maybe once but it was a long time ago. Quote
Ian Savage Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Bloody well used to, back when I was touring it was only generally me and the singer who got any action...been off the road for over a year and continually single for about the same time, coincidence? Quote

BigRedX Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Unfortunately it's completely down to the person and not the instrument they play. I have spectacularly failed to pull whether I was playing guitar, bass or keyboards, and whether I stood at the back looking moody or leapt around like a man possessed up at the front... Quote

[/quote] I'm tall.. check Stand at the back .. check Moody .. ahh, need to work on that one, I'm far too happy when I play! Maybe when I'm on stage I look like I'm 'on something' instead of looking smouldering and moody! Quote

munkonthehill Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 hmmm maybe this is the reason my wife doesnt want me to play anymore and gets sick of me talking about bass!!!! Quote
King Tut Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Recently separated from the wife - it's very messy. And it's all the fault of me being a bass player that has pulled . . . . I'd give anything to be able to wind the clock back a few years Quote

bobbytodd Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 i once had a woman tell me that my bass amp was better than her washing machine.i didnt do to bad with the ladies when i was younger Quote
Spike Vincent Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Getting laid was not the reason I started playing bass.However,being in bands has got me laid on more than a few occasions.Although not recently,being monogamous and all that. Quote

Just the other night one came up to me and said "You know, you don't look anything like George Clooney". Quote
jezzaboy Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Well last friday in East Kilbride, 2 females were "stroking" the neck of my Jazz and saying that it was "long and hard, just as they like it." I might have enjoyed it but we were playing country girl at the time! And no I didn`t, ya dirty minded monkeys! Jez Quote

The thing is, they looked quite nice from a distance but rough close up. Part of the problem is I don`t drink, then they might have looked okay!

I don't drink while gigging, band policy since the singer used to like the odd refreshment and missing verses to go with it, so I see where you are coming from. The lights from the rig can make even the worst munter look decent at times Quote
