Grangur Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I find air guitars can be flexible and can change octave with amazing mind-control wireless switching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 My air bass is magic! It's totally invisible until after 6 pints. Then it comes out for everyone to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I wish I'd spent as much time working on real basses as I have on my air technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysseus Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Why is it that the lady gets upset when I'm using her botty as a drum kit when she's saddled up?... I wonder if Mike Portnoy has this problem... 😟 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I was air bassing along to Good Times in my head at our morning stand-up meeting. My boss asked if I wouldn't mind stopping doing that. He's a bass player too, but I suppose there's a time and a place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I tried playing air guitar to a Jean-Michel Jarre album. It turned out to be a waste of oxygene. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Always when I’m dancing. Dad dancing, with air bass, is my way of reminding our kids who’s in charge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 My air bass is much better than non air bass playing, especially 5 string. Never got the hang of a non air bass 5er, but an air bass 5, I'm a genius. I'm an excellent air drummer as well, which is odd as I can't play non air drums for love nor money.

mep Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I was watching the office episode with that dance the other day. In the dance scene before David does a short bit of air bass to a Beegees tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 There's a chap, who I believe does actually play bass in a Jam tribute act, who played air bass at one of our gigs in Stevenage. Not only air bass but air bass in the style of Mr Foxton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the neck, all those frets and all those strings in the way I can knock out 'Forget Me Nots' just like Freddie on a broom handle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It's how I started. Everybody else attending the NWOBHM gigs at Blackpool Norbreck Castle was playing air guitar, so I chose bass instead. Seemed like a good career move... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
