I too have finally cracked it

[fender73]

Hats...it's all about hats.....

Bass players need hats....think about it.....Janek G, Marcus M, Bootsy etc

If you want to get ahead, get a hat

That is all....and no I haven't been drinking

[Marvin]

I'm doomed then. I look a complete fool in a hat.

[rOB]

Ah but finding the right hat is the tricky bit.

[daz]

You've cracked a hat? Was your head in it ?

[Doctor J]

I just mash my fabulous hair into a hat shape, it's almost a good as a real hat.


OK, 38% as good.

OK, 14% as good.

Is that really you?

Wish my beard was that full (see pic with hat on earlier).

[Len_derby]

Sorted.

[seashell]

Yes, and Les Claypool.
And my bass teacher. I'm beginning to suspect he doesn't actually have any hair as I've never seen him without a hat on.

Here's my attempt

[charic]

Me... a beard? Nooooooo.....

Lazyness stubble yes, the mrs wont let me have a beard!

[gapiro]

HAts are the mark of a bass player. I totally concur.

So do Janek G, Marcus M, Bootsy etc.......

[chaypup]

I had a lovely hat as seen in my avatar - all lovely and shiny too. Sadly, our massively p*issed singer pinched and promptly lost it at a featival we played at the other week... How can I play now?????

[Dave Vader]

I have both hat and beard, however, I take the hat off to play, as it gets bloody hot in there.

[Happy Jack]

Bizarrely, my slide player always wears a hat because he gets so hot anyway, and needs the hat to keep the sweat out of his eyes.

Getting back OT, bass players do NOT need to wear hats and hats are NOT the true mark of the bass player.

The true mark of the bass player is a shiny, bald/shaven dome.

You only need the hat for the load-out after the winter pub gig where the temperature is sub-zero and it's sleeting on you.

[BottomE]

I'd love to look cool with a hat. What hats are cool though? I look like a twat in a baseball cap as my face is quite long. Often have to wear a suit or shirt when gigging so something that would go with that.

Trilby/Fedora or something like that

[ahpook]

i'd never wear a hat indoors.

[charic]

Now I'm confused, is the one I'm wearing a trilby or fedora (I hear theres a massive markup on fedoras and a huge waiting list too )

The mrs says I look a prat in it too
