Bass Player Fine Chart

[ezbass]

Recently sent to me by my drummer. Made me smile. However, if I actually had to pay these I'd need a couple more day jobs (more gigs would only add to the debt).

I think the fretless charge is a bit harsh

The old chestnut.. "playing with a pick".., just had to be there.

[MacDaddy]

Playing above first octave = dismissal

depressingly accurate

[Monckyman]

Custom made bass.
Per string..

[Dave Vader]

Oh, I'm in a lot of trouble....

[ezbass]

I'm only thankful that were no fines for "Cod attempts at bass lines by Bernard Edwards or Pino Palladino."

[richardjmorgan]

Based on last practice, I'd be down $730.

[seashell]

Well, I'm definitely off the hook as far as playing 16th notes is concerned!

[chris_b]

I can't afford to gig anymore!

That's the equivalent of 'Playing Jaco groove on samba'.

[/quote]Doh! More outlay then!

I thought I was gonna make a small fortune... I read it the wrong way round.

Maybe not getting that fretless 6er after all.

Is there an equivalent list for guitarists?

That one just says "if you noodle, turn up too loud or bring a guitar - disqualified".

Trying to impress your mates in the audience by playing Metallica riffs during soundcheck = ejection from premises with guitar inserted in rear orifice.

[danthevan]

Google says no guitarist version.

Maybe we could compile one, and the same for drummers and singers too

Get some suggestions and i'll whack them together

Refusing to turn your stack down below 10 because "that's my sound!"

Drop tuning.

[mentalextra]

Pointing in the air with picking hand while letting notes ring out, or worse, pointing at audience while notes ringing out!

[BigRedX]

Typical US humourless crap...

Ignored.

[4 Strings]

ooer, Big Red, I see what you mean but not that bad!

[SpaceChick]

Beyond anything else..... I played Iron Maiden at band practice yesterday.... So the 8th and 16th notes have bankrupted me before I've read the rest

[SlapbassSteve]

No mention of '[i]leaning on amp for a second or two between songs during the third set at a pub where the crowd isn't bothered[/i]', '[i]looking tired[/i]' or '[i]answering back to the singer[/i]' on there...

[TimR]

What's this 16th note?

I only know three!

8ths played fast
