The realities of being the bass player?

[The Admiral]

Hmmmmm"...........?

[police squad]

not in my world!! Maybe it's because I'm the singer too!!

[JapanAxe]

That makes me a drummer!

[Lord Sausage]

Never applied to me!

[vmaxblues]

The bassplayer always gets the girl!

[Coilte]

You'd wonder how these "surveys" are compiled, and even if true (which I doubt), that someone would admit to attracting zero women.

I am a Bass player who sings as well - My four wives are happy with that.

I play bass, sing and play flute, fighting them off with a sh*tty stick.

[Cat Burrito]

These things are always nonsense; it might apply to a few people but most of us will buck the trend in one way or another.

[whynot]

Got me thinking, I wonder how all those German girls look 30 years on!

[Mornats]

I'm definitely a bass player.

[lojo]

I think there saying that the bass player is solid, self reliant, not needy and only attracts a mate that is deserving, who are rare things, in contrast the singer and guitar playing go for anything that breathes

If the keys player is happy, he's better off than the singer and guitarist as their are many dramas that come with fickle chicks

reverse the sex of anyone mentioned above if your a lady bassist

Unfortunately this analysis has been applied to those who don't play.............. Bongo basses. All toilet humour aside (especially those who play the biggest toilet context bass ever......the 'I only play a P, bob' brigade), the Bongo is the biggest chick magnet guitar ever - I've had far more 'may I touch your instrument' moments from women using that bass than any other!!!! The other basses usually attract gentleman admirers (of the instrument....bass.......) well you knew what I meant!!!

Bongos always remind me of some huge sci fi laser gun

[clauster]

I thought it showed how many nurses are required for help getting on and off stage

[mentalextra]

I assume we are talking about "rock" music as whether you like it or not, its 'defined' by the guitars. But, Jazz for example has no "favourites", they all get the girl/boy, same with Punk. Not sure about Reggae as I would say that 'bass' has a bigger part in the sound, who knows...


Just my opinion

[seashell]

I don't attract many women.

Wonder no more. It is not a survey. It is a T-shirt design.

Saw some for sale on the bay recently and dallied with the idea of posting a link here. But exposure to [b]The Horrid Truth[/b] would deter all those bright-eyed newbs down in 'Introductions' so I cancelled my intent

Beat them off with a sh*tty flute and make it part of the act, kind of like a misogynistic Jethro Tull tribute act.

Do you find being polygamous in Essex much of a problem, Gary? Four wives must cost you a fortune in white stilettos, never mind what the neighbours say .

You probably attract more than you realise , Shelly.

I'm just glad I'm not a keyboard player.

If I had a pound for every woman who has come up to me and asked for a feel of my Bongos then I would probably( almost )have enough money for a set of Ernie Ball Cobalts!
