You Know You’re a Bass Player when…
As many of you read in my post A very interesting instrument, I fell in love with the ukulele. Recently, I joined a ukulele group on Facebook called You know you’re Ukulele Player when… and its info text inspired me to write this entry. When do we actually know if we are bass players or not?
My opinion is that anyone who loves the low-end and a cool groove is only one step away from becoming a bass player. But in the end, you know you’re a bass player when…
- You’ve been faced with the question, Is that a big guitar with only four strings?
- You’ve had to show up at a gig with a huge wall of cabinets in order to compete with the volume of your always-too-loud-and-shredding guitarist.
- You tend to crank up the low-end to 10 on your amp.
- You’ve considered selling your body on the street just to get the money for a Fodera or Ritter bass.
- You’re not a Hindu but you do believe in multiple Gods. Five of them, in fact. Victor Wooten, Stanley Clark, Marcus Miller, T.M. Stevens and Jaco Pastorius.
- You strongly believe in the phrase “One day bass players will take over the world.”
By the way, my name is Sebi and I’m proud to be a Bass Player!
Now you’re talking – proud to share a piece of fame with ya brother! I’m a Bass Player – und das ist auch gut so. ^_^
