u know ur a (___ player) if...

[Connor]

I'll start the ball movement:

You know ur a bassist if........
You have as many callouses on ur right, as you do on ur left
You have no part in pick quality conversations
You stand behind or beside the drummer and wonder why you get no attention
Your favorite songs come from either Nirvana, Metallica, White Stripes, or Fall Out Boy
You use your index and middle fingers to rock out
Your hero is someone that no one knows about
You got drunk and blew your guitarist amp by hitting the Seven Nation Army riff

Y'all try, there is more than bass!

i love Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, Flea (in my opinion) is the best bassist of all time,
also i use my thumb for slapping (NOT STRUMMING, if i EVER see a bassist strumming with his thumb)agss

oh and

You know your a bassist when:
everyone says you have monkey hands.
you always have guys yelling at you to turn ur amp down, cuz ur the bassist.
you never get to stand in front.(like u said)
your strings always cost more, even though you hardly need to buy them( i broke a bass string)

[pillowbasher]

heres dat string i broke:
its the "G" string, i got a sound recording of me breaking it too, i cant believe i was recording myself at the time i broke it.
PS:ya im proud of my broken bass string

[Connor]

i got a couple:

u know ur a bassist if ur MySpace has less than 100 friends after having it three months
you broke the G string, but u dont give a fuck either way
the guitarist asks to borrow your tuner, because he is to lazy to tune to you
when all ur ideas are shot down when all you say is,"what d'you think if....."
your lyrics are softer than ur guitarist
the drummer and u get along just fine
you have to start your own site in order to be considered part of the band.

this is fun, ventin on mediocre expectations.

[jarrydn]

You know you're a bassist if you play bass guitar.

And you know you're a jarrydn if you're as brutal as hell.

[pillowbasher]

You know you're a Guitarist when:
you keep saying how pointless bass is
You know you're a Bassist when:
you really dont care what the guitarist has to say

You know your a Bassist when:
You get told to play the simplest riffs, even though you KNOW you're capable of much more (this is how bassists get they're rep. of being easy to play)
You annoy the crap out of the other band members with your constant playing, when everyone else is trying to talk or sumthing
You are the last one to hear about a practice
You have the biggest muscles for carrying around your heavy amp and bass
Your amp may be giant, and cost more, but the guitarists has all those cool effects

[Khuskan]

You know you're a pianist when:

You start to realise it takes no skill at all to play any other instrument.

[TjA]

you get under payed
you smell like a toilet

[Amoeboy]

you know your a bass player when:
the rest of your band realise your a shit guitarist:)

[PERVOK]

You also know your a drummer if you fail at other instruments.

You know your a synth player when you can't find a band that wants you.

You know you're a bassist when:
your idea of relaxing after a long day is whipping out Rage Against the Machine's first album and playing with it all the way through (because bass is the only thing that really applies to...)

You know you're a guitarist when:
your finger joints become dislocated from forming humanly-impossible chords
you name your instrument
you can tune from standard to drop d using only your mind

You know you're a keyboardist when:
your bandmates go out for coffee while you search for the perfect sound

You know you're a drummer when:
your bandmates constantly have to tell you to stop playing while they're working on something else
you can't hear what the rest of the band really sounds like

You know you're a multi-instrumentalist when:
you're not quite happy with the instrument you're currently playing

You haven't been laid ... ever - and you wonder why it is that the guitarists are spending so much time talking to those stupid girls...

[Khuskan]

You know you're a reason/fl user when...

You don't need an instrument to make some awesome music
You're convinced that just because 20,000 people have downloaded your music, you're famous.
You refer to yourself as being a 'sound designer'

2. you just can't quite "feel" in 12/8 time
3. everytime you pull your wallet out of your pant's pocket you drop a few picks

you know you're keyboardist when:

1. you play an amazing solo throughout the whole song, and nobody notices
2. you hate all midi sounds except one's that you've tweaked

Ha, I have more callouses on my right hand.

I do, I use picks when I need a hollow-sounding grind.

You stand behind or beside the drummer and wonder why you get no attention

I stand front and center, losers.

Your favorite songs come from either Nirvana, Metallica, White Stripes, or Fall Out Boy

Um, no and for the record, White Stripes don't have a bassist....

You use your index and middle fingers to rock out

All thumbs and knuckles for me.

Your hero is someone that no one knows about

Sadly true...

You got drunk and blew your guitarist amp by hitting the Seven Nation Army riff

No....

So...
A man (John or something) washed up on a yet to be discovered island. After a little investigation, he discovers a native tribe. The people speak fragmentary English like in all your favorite comic books, and they prove to be very friendly. They invite him to stay as long as he likes. Soon he notices that there is some non-stop drumming going on there, and it's making him a little nervous. So he goes to the guy who's beating the drums and asks him to stop for a while. Startled, the guy answers: "No no, very bad if drumming stop."

So John leaves again, but after three hours, he really gets fed up and goes up the guy again and urges him to stop if only for five minutes. Same answer as before.

But it's getting late and John presumes that at night-time, the guy will be asleep and he can get some rest. Not a chance, of course - the drumming continues all night and at 4 o'clock in the morning John engages in a rage. He runs toward the guy, grabs him by the neck and screams: "AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO STOP DRUMMING AND GET SOME BLEEDIN' SLEEP!"
"n..n..no, v..very b..bad if drumming s..stop." "SO WHAT THE FUCK WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE DRUMMING STOPS?!" "if d..drumming stop come b..bass solo."
