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?
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.
Flirt with the sound guy
Drummer.
What if the drummer and bassist take turns with the vocals?
stop trying to justify your gangbang. just go have the gangbang. we'll all be proud of you either way
I'm more likely to get this kind of gangbang 😔
This is the kind of positivity we need more of in the world
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.
Claypool.
Geddy
Lemmy.
Steele
Oh good one. RIP to Peter and Lemmy.
This is so fucking amazing!!! I need to see if I can find a video!!!
I don’t need anything for Christmas. This has fulfilled me. Thank you so much!!!
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…
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.
Agreed. That was amazing.
what about the drummer
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...
Found the drummer.
Nah, you found the bass player who simped for another band's drummer :-< She friggin' OWNED those drums every single time...
What about the drummer?

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.
But if it’s a man-lovin’-lady bassist, do the flirting.
I second this. And it's totally not because I own and/or play the bass.
Then when the drummer starts flirting with you, drop the bass!
Now is William Murderface's time.
As a bass player (happily spoken for, but solidarity with the homies) I wholeheartedly support this message
Drummer just watching the situation, twitching but not stopping with the drumming.
Bassists are a vibe definitely. I always thought bassists were more chill :3
Which member of Shakey Graves would you flirt with, the vocalist, the lead guitar, or the drummer?
