What is bass?

Something for the guys that can't play guitar to play so they can say they're in a band.


Q: What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
A: A Bass Player.



I'm going to catch some crap for that one.   

Just funnin' guys.  I play bass too.

I'm not bassist.  Some of my best friends are bass players

I thought a bass player was a guy who liked to hang out in a boat with a stick and string trying to catch fish for fun...  I guess I have a couple things to learn.

Good men play guitars.

Better men play bass.

I would have thought we wouldn't gang up on bass players here, so I'll take the high road.....


What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend?

Homeless

If we're gonna take slam at drummers, here's my take:

How can you tell that a drummer is really, really happy?

He'll be drooling from both corners of his mouth!

You guys took off in the wrong direction. I bet your potential customer is a bass player. And active electronics for basses come in 2 flavours: 9V or powered by 2 batteries at 18V. So in bass player slang you either have a 9V pre or a 18V pre. Dig it?


The standard wooly mammoth is known to have problems with active electronics. These come from 2 sources. One being the low output impedance of such electronics and in some cases, especially with 18V preamps, the output signal level of active basses.

So the guy simply wants to know if your sabertooth will play nice with his active bass.

Hope I could help.

Being the simpleton that I am, if in fact this is the case, then the asker of the questions should have said so rather than leaving it up to someone to assume one thing or another.

I thought you bass players kept it simple
