I was at a Mike Keneally/Bryan Beller clinic a few years ago and before it started Keneally was talking to some
people while playing air bass to Marcus Miller's bassline on 'The Nightfly',which was playing at the time.

I find myself playing slap bass on my hip every now and then if I am listening to my iPod. Drives my girlfriend insane. I do look like a pleb to be fair.

[Bassman Sam]

I do it too. My other half calls it bass w*nking and says it looks rather sad.

What do I care, I'm enjoying my self.

all the time. With my phone in my pocket, it's the right height to act as a pickup or thumb rest. I've done it in work before. It's how i got the name "Milton the header"

[Lord Sausage]

To the breaks in CarWash and to The Freak. I mainly Air drum and Air sing (or mime as most people call it).

[thack]

Always. I used the edge of my pocket as a thumb rest. Its got to the point where im wearing holes im the side of all my trousers

[Jayben]

Not unless it's a really good bass line.. I'm usually air-drumming...

[paul_5]

Do you not? How odd.

[stingrayPete1977]

What trousers have the best pockets for rock?

[Low End Bee]

You're all weird!

[Hutton]

I am a devotee of air bass. In fact, I think I'm more proficient on air bass than on real bass!

[Conan]

Membership of another sad club?

Count me in!

[Dr.Dave]

My right hand fingers do it on their own but I doubt anybody else notices.

We had an air harmonica player in the crowd once !! Funniest thing ever.

[jaydentaku]

I air slap. I am much better at it than actual slap.

[charic]

I air keyboard or air pick but never air fret

[Dandelion]

I play air bass left handed..



I play actual bass right handed.


Odd I know.

[ead]

You may very well think so, but I couldn't possibly comment.
