Following ideas drawn from article by Robin Meloy Goldbys as found in Sep 2005 Bass Player
Why should ladies seriously consider a bass player as your partner.
Advantages
Bass Players are inadvertently strong. Do you have any idea how heavy a bass guitar is? A bass player has no trouble picking you up and swinging you around just because he can. Of course he’ll be handy to carry things around the house.
Bass players love the curves of their bass guitars, of course they’ll also love those curves of yours.
Bass players need to stretch their hands to reach those frets. Imagine what those hands can do to you.
Bass players are team players. Always there supporting the show. Absolutely no airs. Always ready to change keys to suit you.
Minor Drawbacks
You need to find furniture to match those bass guitars
You’ll have to incorporate the phrase “Watch the bass” into everyday sentences with your children. Example: “Hi darling! Watch the bass. How was school? Watch the bass. What would you like for lunch?”
You’ll perhaps be doomed to MPVs instead of that sporty new BMW Z4 to fit all the music gear.
And no...I'm not advertising for myself. But there are plenty of single, available and willing bass players around, ...just let me hook you with one.
EDIT: decided to make this post a little more shameless by adding this pic:
Was forced to wear that "mormon outfit"... actually... doesn't look so "mormon-ish" in that picture... but at the actual performance I had to wear a black tie... which added to the look. And that corsarge... argh...was forced to wear that too...
But don't you think the bass is a nice intrument... and yah its really heavy! But the BB1500 cannot compare with the weight of the TRBJP... woah... that one is HEAVY! Probably the only one who can jump around in that is Abraham Laboriel!
