You know you're a bass player when..

[MrEdabass]

When someone else wants to "have a go" and your exact words are "you've got it the wrong way round", "dont twist those heads" and the ever common, "thats coz its not plugged in.

[MikeGee]

You know you're a bass player when someone ask you to play a song. You play it. The person says that's not it. They start humming it as if to make the correction and they hum the melody or the guitar/keys part.

[BimmerFan99]

You know you're a bass player when you don't sing in the shower - you pluck, pop and slap in the shower.

[Cherri]

When you're driving and you thump and pluck the steering wheel as you listen.

That's that thang right there!

[MrEdabass]

....when you pick up a guitar and they all laugh at your hands.
....when your equalizer smiles
....when lgm members nickname you slick....well, me.
....when you feel depressed because all your aunties and half of your friends dont even know what a bass is

+1 -- That's what's up.

You also look at concert DVD's waiting for the Bass Player to get some camera work.

You have also been known to use the ZOOM and Slow Mo Button on the DVD player to try and see what he was doing.

You've been caught a time or two saying... Your were supposed to be worshipping, why were you worried about how my head was bobbin'

People have said to you "Guitar, Bass... whatever"

Or... you pause and zoom to verify what kind of bass he's playing, especially if it's a boutique.  Identifying top woods and finishes, pickups, etc.

There have been many occasions where wifey and I have been watching TV and something music-related comes on... the bass player might get a flash of camera time and I'll catch a glimpse of a unique headstock or body shape and say "hey, he's playing a(n) <insert axe here>".  Wifey looks at me like "whut?" because she had no clue.  LOL
