To be serious though, I was in a relationship because "hmm a bass player in a leather jacket".
I find the opposite is true gender swapped. Nothing makes a girl more attractive to me than playing bass.

I have to agree. Instant crush.
Do you know Igor and The Red Elvises? That bass balalaika, and ooh dang, THAT Bass Player!
They are great live. Have seen them several times and it’s always a good time.

That's bassism.
Which is worse, bassism or drumism?
Without bass there is no rhythm or soul the music sounds flat
Preaching to the choir, my guy
Wouldn’t people want partners with demonstrable senses of rhythm?
Not according to my maracas..

Metal drummer: hold my beer
Good bass does just as much as good drums for metal in my opinion. Here's a good example of every part of a band with a chance to shine:
BEYOND CREATION - Omnipresent Perception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0MkJtI3FvU
Drums - 3:08
Guitar 1 - 3:49
Bass - 4:17
Guitar 2 - 4:45

As a bassist of 30+ years….. I feel seen.
Usually we're not seen. This is your moment, brother.
What's the purpose of bass players?
Well, somebody has to wake up, wash, dress and feed the drummer before practice.
Look, everyone knows that the bass player carries the band>!'s gear!<
Yeah, but we slap and make the ground shake.
I love that. I'm going to say that at practice this weekend.
I had to turn down my Fender Rumble 500 because if I turn it to 5, it makes my pants flap like I'm in front of a fan, and it caused enough vibration to make one of my drummers crash stands fall over lol
F Rumbles are great. That's a great example why lol
Now you just have to use the threat of turning it up to end discussions
Jokes on you, I'm colourblind
I should buy a bass
Same. Very, very heavily hinted at a used bass guitar for Christmas this year. Put a harmonica on the list as a joke as I was being nagged to put more stuff on the list.
Now I own a harmonica.
That's your mistake, you should have included accessories for the guitar so they'd feel guilted into buying it for you.
Or you just get a bunch of accessories and nothing to use then with.
I own my part in this, though I know if I added the amp, cables, maybe a pedal, and some guitar picks, I would have ended up with a nice collection of guitar picks.
Because my wife and kid are assholes who think they are hilarious, which I have encouraged because I am too.
You can get a cheap $80 bass on Amazon. They actually last a long time, i still play mine, and it keeps your tuning forever.
Grab one of those and play for a year. It's the perfect starter bass.
( I love mine. The guitar shop in my area always asks why i keep using it. By itself it's got too much "trumpet" sounding, but with a reverb or other pedal i love it)
I mean id probably go all out and get something in the $750 range ish. I'm a musician and I play many instruments, just haven't gotten to bass yet.
is it possible to change tunings on a bass from say E to Eb without needing to take it into a shop? I say this because it is possible on guitar but I'm not sure if the giant bass string tension will make this process different and more difficult.
Yeah. I tune to Eb when I feel like playing some guns n roses with no issues. I think I like guitar and bass equally. Bass is definitely more fun though.

Do it. And put effort into it. It's a great investment.
Paul McCartney
Flea
Sting
Ok, but is that upright bass single?

Yes, Nikki Sixx, notoriously poor, and girlfriendless bassist.
Someone send this to Davie504
(Don't actually, he's probably seen it all.)
