allighatt0r Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 ...you shout at the screen at the end of School of Rock when everyone gets a solo except the bassist. ...the guitarist steals your favourite riff (in my case, the run down at the start of born to be wild), and then people ask you why you don't play that too....

thepurpleblob Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) ...when you don't think Slash is cool at all AND you enjoy the look of horror on your guitarist's face when you tell him that. Edited July 10, 2009 by thepurpleblob Quote

Krysbass Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 When you’re in a covers band and nobody pays any attention to your ideas, whether it’s song choices or anything else. I’d rather not speculate on what anti-bassist prejudices might be behind this. Quote

iamapirate Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 You know you're a bassist when you no longer tap your feet to the metronome tempo, but the kick drum when listening to music Quote
