Bass players: Weirdos.

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

Victor Wooten is definatley a dorky kinda guy, so are alot of people. We're just the introverts. The older bassists, however, ARE just plain...strange.

Guitarists are the cocky assholes though.

But it's ok, we're both better then drummers.
hahahahahaha

i am a weirdo too.

P-nut, the bassist for 311 is a cool guy. I'd definitely like to meet him more than any other member. And I'm not a dork....well not really.

I know I'm treading on sacred ground with you Speeny, but...well, anyone who willingly dons the name "P-Nut" is probably a kook. :)

as the wise victor wooten has said
"Theres something great about bass players. We've been in the background so long that we can leave our egos in the background and more musicians should learn from us bass players."

We may be crazy / dorky (still extremely sexy though) but we are usually the most down to earth out of the band members :)

no geniouses are sane :)
Victor Wooten IS a God, case closed.

Bass players are hardly ever assholes, and are probably the band member least likely to be an asshole. I'll give you that.

But down to earth, I don't know. I've seen a lot of space cadets with basses in their hands. :)

Fully agreed on all counts.

What do you call a guy who likes to hang out with musicians?









........a drummer.

Ba dah - ching!
its sooo true. But that is okay, since Im guitar/vocals in my band.


Then again, Im drummer in our jazz band. But they are all losers anyway (except bass, guitar, piano, and lead trumpet player).
