Huge Hands Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I posted that on my FB a while ago and got about 1 "like". Even my mates don't believe it..... Quote
hairychris Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'm a crap musician but even crapper at relationships with real people. Maybe my switch to bass from guitars will help, althouth tbh I have suspicions about the accuracy of the article becauseI haven't worn tight trousers since an unfortunate semi-goth stage in the early 90s.

dadofsix Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 My ex did it. She was happy when I was playing guitar and fronting. Not so much when I quit music and started a career My daughter, though, is now seriously involved with a drummer. I thought I raised her better than that! lol Quote

[/quote] Drastic, just remove clothes and look for the pencil mark signature and date in some obscure locations. Hopefully the dates on various parts will match. Quote

blue Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'm a single, older, aging, gigging rock bass player. These days, I hate to say it, most women don't [i]"get it"[/i]. I prefer to keep women out of my gigging life. Back in my day ( 60s & 70s ) there were plenty of chics that understood the whole rock thing or scene. And they were into it. If you were in a band playing an electric guitar you had it made with chics. Well that flew out the window for 3 reasons;[list=1] [*]There's no more scene [*]There's no more thing [*]I'm old [/list] Blue Edited February 4, 2015 by blue Quote
HengistPod Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Sadly, blue, I think you're right (though I can't vouch for you being "old"). Having said that, my missus still has a jealous head that she puts on whenever I mention the word "gig". She seems to think that bass players are some kind of babe magnet and I'll end the evening draped in all sorts of loose womens' lingerie. Would that it were true. Quote
Truckstop Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 No more 'thing'? Jeez, sorry Blue. I didn't know Quote
taunton-hobbit Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I agree (reluctantly) with Blue -'they' just don't get it - I blame I pods & the current social climate, face it, we're all getting older (some, like me, more than some) & the women I meet think grandkids and Eastenders are the poodles parts - as I detest both, it's all a bit of a lost cause. Just bought a new, second hand 'Rocking the Blues' album - yes it is relevant to the above, just think about it............. Quote

ubit Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Well that kind of ruins my argument that people don't know what the bass is ! Quote

Enjoy. http://www.independent.com/news/2014/nov/19/dating-musician-i-recommend-bass-players/ [/quote] My ex-wife sent me this article earlier in the week and it really made me chuckle.. She says it's all true, and she should know, as she's dated 4 bass players in her time - including me. Her present beau is a bassist too... Loved the Latin species names like 'Ego Maximus' and 'Controli Freakata' for singers and guitarists respectively! Quote
