Bass players: Weirdos.

I know there are a few of you here, and I apologize for what I'm about to say, but...

Bass players are kooks a solid 95% of the time. Not always insanely out there, but they're always the dorks of the band. This holds true most in washed up going nowhere bands. My friend's dad mumbles to himself, and also happens to play bass in his band. The bass player in a local funk band rocks, but he has greasy hair, glasses, and a molester mustache, and won't talk to anyone after the show. But it's still true for successful bands too.

Stephan - yeah. Dork of the band.
Flea - no explanation needed.
Les Claypool - weirdo

Now, please keep in mind this has nothing to do with skill. Just the fact that you're dorks.

Carry on.

it's true, because those three bassists speak for every other one.

I'm a weirdo, i like a weird combination of things.

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.

Fully agreed on all counts.

........a drummer.
