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 87 points 4 weeks 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 56 points 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago

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

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 weeks 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.

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 4 weeks 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.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Agreed. That was amazing.

Drummers are next level. They're like that moment when your brain snaps into place and your tastes slowly turn fetishistic. One does not simply hit on a drummer, you gotta suffer a bit beforehand, wallow in that self-pity that you'll never be good enough for the rhythm section, then have your heart melt the tenth time you go to a concert of theirs and the drummer throws you a warm smile when they recognise you in the crowd (in which you've strategically placed yourself to be as visible as possible).

Uuuh, or so I've heard...

Nah, you found the bass player who simped for another band's drummer :-< She friggin' OWNED those drums every single time...

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 16 points 4 weeks ago

What about the drummer?

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

You fuck the drummer while the others are confused & arguing. You ALWAYS FUCK THE DRUMMER.

They’re the crazy ones so they’re good in bed

Only works heterosexually.

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

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 21 points 3 weeks ago
[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 21 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago

Now is William Murderface's time.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

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