As a bassist, I approve of this message.

Perscheid Bassist
You'd train the two finger picking technique at best with your girlfriend!
Pardon me! You're bassist. You don't have a girlfriend!

The comic is from Martin Perscheid, who has left us far too early.

Perscheid based as usual

What if the bassist is the lead singer?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 88 points 8 months ago

Emphasize that you're not into them because they're the vocalist, but because they're the bassist. It'll give them an identity crisis.

What if the drummer and bassist take turns with the vocals?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 57 points 8 months ago (2 children)

stop trying to justify your gangbang. just go have the gangbang. we'll all be proud of you either way

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I'm more likely to get this kind of gangbang 😔

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 6 points 8 months ago

This is the kind of positivity we need more of in the world

[–] Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago

I guess you have to play them against each other at that point.

I'm just trying to figure out how my blues trio fits in because we all sang, played bass, drums, and at least one other instrument. I'm not sure who counted as what I'm that group.

This is so fucking amazing!!! I need to see if I can find a video!!!

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I don’t need anything for Christmas. This has fulfilled me. Thank you so much!!!

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Agreed. That was amazing.

I live in Denver, so Red Rocks is practically in my back yard, and this book is sitting on the couch next to me. I went to college with Matt & Trey…seriously, I had tears of joy watching that.

ETA: I highly recommend this book if you like looking at pretty pictures of electric basses, but be warned…bass buying addiction may ensue…

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Dude, that's awesome. Glad to have contributed to the wealth of musical knowledge and fandom.

Thankfully (I guess), my musical talents fall more toward vocals than instruments, but should provide a worthwhile read.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Only works heterosexually.

If it's a lady-lovin'-lady bassist, then that is the norm.

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

But if it’s a man-lovin’-lady bassist, do the flirting.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 21 points 8 months ago
[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

I second this. And it's totally not because I own and/or play the bass.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

Then when the drummer starts flirting with you, drop the bass!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

Now is William Murderface's time.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

As a bass player (happily spoken for, but solidarity with the homies) I wholeheartedly support this message

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Drummer just watching the situation, twitching but not stopping with the drumming.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Bassists are a vibe definitely. I always thought bassists were more chill :3

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Which member of Shakey Graves would you flirt with, the vocalist, the lead guitar, or the drummer?
