Favourite one liner quotes about bass?

[Bobthedog]

"I could watch you play a bass all day". Ah! Sorry wrong type of bass.

[bassace]

If you’re playing half notes make sure they’re the right ones. Because a minim is a long note to get wrong.

 Said to me by a drummer.  Very erudite for a drummer, I thought.

[Baxlin]

One I hate....

”just single notes, Malc”

I think it was Nathan East who said:

"If I don't practice for a day, I can tell. 3 days, the band can tell. A week, the audience can tell."

That’s paraphrasing something Louis Armstrong said.

Several months and the pub crowd can (probably still not) tell.

Said to  me as I set up at an audition. The band was a three piece plus vocals. 

"we just ran through the songs you'll be playing, it's amazing what a difference it makes not having the bass" 

I should have walked then and there

"I just loved your bass, I could feel it inside my pus*y.."

This was actually said to me during a load out once. A very pretty yet hammered girl.

I had a very similar comment from a lady I was friends with, it changed our friendship for ever! I don't mean that we hooked up or anything, but there was a different level of openness.

😂

On a happier tone, at one gig I was told "We couldn't hear the band but we could feel your bass"

...which was nice.

. . . . . . at one gig I was told "We couldn't hear the band but we could feel your bass". . . .

In the interval I was having a pee and 2 guys came in and stood right next to me. They started discussing the band. One said to the other, "What do you think about the bass player?" The other replied, "Dunno, couldn't hear him!"

I was going through the PA and the stage volume was rattling my fillings out!!

and this is why I try to convince bands not to pay any attention to the muggles 

Especially the would be sound engineers

Not so much one liners but there are some definite words of wisdom from Vic...

A conversation.

 

Me: “I play bass”

Anyone who doesn’t play bass: “SLAPPA DA BASS!!”
