On a lighter note...

From a drummer's perspective... to keep us all honest.

Enjoy and blessings.

to be honest they started off kinda funny, but then the ones towards the end didnt really make much sense.

In other words they are trying to say bass players are dumb. Haha

Yes, it's kinda funny.  I saw different versions using different types of instrument players, so everyone uses the version that provides "ammunition" for their group.  They don't have to be factual... it's sort of like "blonde jokes"... (I hope no one here is blonde...    ...but if you are ~and it's possible~  please chillax... no harm intended)

i kinda got that, but those jokes themselves were just not funny at all. a yellow alligator? come on. a 4 year old could tell a funnier joke.

Yes, that is truly lame...    I was too lazy to cut and paste and also provide the proper credit/source, so I just posted the link, and along came the good with the bad...  my bad.

They did get a smirk out of me. Those jokes are probably funnier to secular players because of the culture. We need church versions.  Like
Knock knock
Who's there?
Bass player.
Bass player? Who needs a bass player.

What do you get when you have a keyboard player alone? Music.
Well what do you get with a bass player alone? Someone waiting on the keyboard player to show up.

Here's a true story from Father Time (Lee Sklar) as published in Bass Player's Session Legends & Studio Gear, pp. 34-35):

I used to have a bass with a 'producer switch' on it.  That's what I called it. All I did was drill a hole and install a toggle switch; it wasn't wired to anything.  When the producer would ask for something different, I'd flip the switch and he'd go [gives the thumbs-up sign]. "That's great!"

What's a bass player's greatest fear on 1st Sunday? The organist will start playing bass pedals before he/she can finish taking communion.

Wawa
(Is it getting hot in here or what?)

[Mysteryman]

Just to be fair.
What do you get when you add a bass player to a church service? A loud keyboard player. 

Why did most of the church stand up after the first verse? The bass player started to play.   

(booooo)

What do you get when you add a quartet bassist to a jazz group? 1-4-5
Rock group? 1-4-5
Funk? 1-4-5
Pop? 1-4-5

Q: Why does Fred Hammond play "air bass"?
A: Because if he had an actual bass in his hands he would never be seen on camera.

***applause***

Didya hear the one about the drummer who locked his keys in his car?   Took him a half hour to get his family out.

How many soloists does it take to change a light bulb?  Just one.  They hold it up and wait for the world to revolve around them.

How do you know when the guitarist is gonna take a solo?  His fingers are moving.





Thank you folks, thank you.  I'll be here all week.  Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Very Funny...

I read an interview with Hendrix soundguy and he said that during performance Jimi would scream at him to get rid of this ?!#@# pedal and get me a good one.  So the sound guy would take the pedal that Jimi threw at him and set it to the side but keep it very close by.  They would go thru about four pedals, which Jimi thought all sucked.  Then that soundguy would grab that first pedal and put it back into the mix and Jimi would ALWAYS start playing and then look at him and say, now that’s what I’m talking about!
