stingrayPete1977 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thats the correct look for the bassist, nailed it I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I wouldn't worry about it. I always look somewhat depressive, even when on stage. Not long ago had someone should "Cheer the f*ck up mate!" mid song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) [quote]First gig - looking, um, glum, really...[/quote] Quite understandable; that's the freshness of youth. You'll find, as you get on in years, that you'll lighten up, with a peaceful, reassuring 'senior' allure. Patience and perseverance are the key. As I often say... 'It's the first 40 years that are the worst, after which things start to get (slightly...) better.' There, that's enough encouragement for now, lad.

Number6 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Perhaps procuring a music stand would cheer you up? It has worked for many a Bass Chatter i am led to believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nice! Looks like a cool room. Hope those tall ceilings weren't too much of a sound issue. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the kit was top stuff, but the important ingredient was the house sound guy - really knows his stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subbeh Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Don't look glum, you look like a bass player If it was my first gig there'd be motion blur from my legs shaking, I was bloody terrified! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedee Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm glad this is recognised as the standard 'mean and moody' bass player look. When my current band started gigging last year, the comment from our singers relatives in the audience was 'why does your bass player look like he's going to jump off stage and hit somebody at any moment?' Over the years I've always struggled to successfully incorporate any kind of 'smiling' type look. Guitarists seem to manage it better 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
