Just think like this:
Playing the bass is probably just soooo difficult that there aren't a lot of people who can learn it... Wink

Now don't get mad at me, it's not my joke but.....

Johnny starting playing bass as a child, and his encouraging mother always kept his spirits high and made him proud to be a bassist. One day he came home and said, "Mommy, Mommy! Today in school we did numbers, and most kids only got to ten, but I went to twenty!"
"That's Great Johnny!" his mother replied, "That's because you're a bass player!"
Excited, Johnny ran upstairs and practiced the bass.
The next day, Johnny came home saying,"Mommy! Mommy! Today we did the alphabet, and everyone else stopped at P, but I made it all the way to Z!"
"That's Great Johnny!" his mother replied, "That's because you're a bass player!"
Excited, Johnny ran upstairs and practiced the bass.
The next day, Johnny came home excited once again. "Mommy! Mommy! Today They measured us and I'm the tallest in my class! Is that because I'm a bass player?"
"No Johnny," his Mother said, "That's because you're 28."

Alright who let that one sneak in, its not Geldof's fault that he's so tall,besides you have to be, to lug some stand - up bass's. The advantage they have is they don't carry as much equipment as guitarists do ie;amps effects and so on, and for some reason that I can't understand they always end up with the girls,Damn those Bass players. They are lucky and some can realllllly play great, just trying to think of his name (James Browns bass player) was It Bootsy, Rolling Eyes

man the first time I saw him play just blew my mind,the way he slapped those strings to make them vibrate,incredible.louis Laughing

..................ps bassist aren't boring they just say it with their music Exclamation

That's the beauty of being a bassist.
We get to see how they gyrate when they sit on our cabinates, before we have to plook them! ;}
