We are bassists and you can't live without us!!

The bass guitar is the wheels of the band. You don't buy a car for its wheels. You don't go to the car lot and say, "Boy, I really want that Lexus but those wheels aren't working for me." You buy a car because it looks nice and it runs smooth. When you're driving the car, you don't say, "Boy, these wheels are NICE... I know why I bought this car." No, you don't say or think any of those things. But what happens when a wheel falls off or you get a flat? The car doesn't run. You're stuck on the highway looking for somebody else with wheels to help you out.


You take the wheels off a car and you're screwed... you take the bass out of the band, and I say to you "Good luck."


I also have a bass joke for you all:

So these explorers go into the Amazon jungle in search of the last undiscovered tribe in the world, and after days of searching they find it, and they hear endless drums... for weeks and weeks all they can hear are congo drums and bongos being played non-stop... so they venture into the village and they ask the villagers, "Why do you only play drums, and play them all day and all night?" They responded with, "Very bad when drums stop. Very bad." So the explorers went back to their camp not understanding what these villagers were talking about, until the morning. The drums stopped in the morning, and the villagers were all sprinting away screaming bloody murder. When one passed the explorers camp, they asked "What? What's wrong?"

The villager responded by saying "The drums have stopped!!! Now the bass solo begins!!"
