Two people go to a marriage guidance counsellor. He tries to work with them, but they absolutely refuse to talk about anything in front of each other. The counsellor gets fed up, gets his bass out and starts playing it. The couple get angry at him for wasting their time, then they start shouting at each other, and pretty soon a lot of their problems are out in the open. The counsellor can then get them to address these issues. At the end of the session, the couple thank him for a stunningly good session, and ask “So where does the bass come in?” “Ah”, says the counsellor, “people always talk during a bass solo.

A tour manager comes across the guitarist and bass player fighting at the side of the stage and pulls them apart asking what the problem was. “That bastard detuned one of the strings on my bass”, says the bass player, “And we’re on stage in five minutes.” “So what’s the problem?”, asks the tour manager. “He won’t tell me which string it was he detuned”, said the Bassist.

A scientific expedition disembarks from its plane at the final outpost of civilisation in the deepest Amazon rain forest. They immediately notice the ceaseless thrumming of native drums. As they venture further into the bush, the drums never stop, day or night, for weeks. The lead scientist asks one of the natives about this, and the native’s only reply is “Drums good. Drums never stop. Very bad if drums stop.” The drumming continues, night and day, until one night, six weeks into the trip, when the jungle is suddenly silent. Immediately the natives run screaming from their huts, covering their ears. The scientists grab one boy and demand “What is it? The drums have stopped!” The terror-stricken youth replies “Yes! Drums stop! Very bad!” The scientists ask “Why? Why? What will happen?” Wide-eyed, the boy responds, " . . . BASS SOLO!!!"

Keep 'em coming!

A bassist in NYC went into a shop to buy smokes, leaving his bass in the car.
He was a little nervous about leaving his bass in the car but he figured since he would only be away for a few moments, and since his car was lock, it would be alright.

Unfortunately, when he returned, just as he had feared, his car had been broken into and he found three more basses in his car. :frowning:
