Bass-ic dogs?

[lowdowner]

So, each time I go and practice my bass (in my out-house), my dogs - once they hear the bass - come and listen to me and lie *on* my feet whilst i play. This isn't just them following me because if I go to my practice room and don't play, they don't come over...

Anyone else think their dog(s) listen/like their bass sounds?

I haven't got a dog. My cat makes a quick exit once I start playing.

[i]next door's[/i] dogs are a different matter though....


They do not, not, not, like the low end.

We got a boxer from the RSPCA in January who either hates music or thinks I'm the worst musician in the world. He tolerates me playing double bass these days but if I start bowing it he barks at me and eventually goes to sulk in another room.

Also if I play guitar he barks, but if I have other people over here playing guitar he's fine with it. Arsehole dog.

This is him. His name is Boo. The only other things he barks at are horses with jobs (horses just grazing are fine, doing anything else is not acceptable) and skateboards.

My dog does the exact same thing. Without fail, he'll always sit at my feet or right infront of the cab. I have no idea why he likes it there.

I have two dogs and one runs and hides whilst the other looks for the off switch

We used to have a Cairn Terrier, called Lady, who would sit with her head in the woofer of my stereo whenever I listened to music.

We had another Dog (half Yorkie, half Jack, looked like an Australian Terrier, called Bronson) who would "sing-a-long" when I played the Penny Whistle.

our dog doesnt do anything-must be deaf or just not arsed
and as for the cat?well she just does a runner.

Our dog comes and leans on my leg when I play too.

My dogs (greyhound and jack russell) come and lie right next to my amp when I'm playing.

They are both asleep on their bed, I'm not playing loudly as the kids next door are in bed but even when I do turn things up they choose to stay very close. I love it.

My cat runs away if I so much as look at my normal bass, but tolerates me playing my fretted electric upright. He also enjoys walking up and down my synth keyboard, and particularly likes sitting and falling asleep on a fairly large mixer with loads of really uncomfortable knobs.

My dog ignores my playing but sings to the door bell.

On t'other hand, if you want get rid of dogs & cats, there's only one thing that's better than a mouth-organ and that's a violin.
