A guy goes into a doctor's office complaining of pain. The doctor asks,
"where does it hurt?" The guy touches his arm and says ouch. Then he
touches his knee and says owwwwwch. Then he touches his stomach and says owwww.
"It hurts everywhere" he tells the doctor. The doctor says...
"you're a bass player aren't you?" The guy replies, "how did you
know that?" The doctor tells him, "you don't hurt everywhere... you're
finger is broken."

A bass player goes to the optometrist, and the doctor says "You really need
to stop masturbating." The man, a little worried, asks the doctor,
"why... am I going blind?" "No," says the doctor. "But
you're disturbing everyone else in the waiting room."

We had a really lousey drummer at one time. We had an equally lousey gig in an
upstairs room above a local hotel. The stoned-out shitstain couldn't keep tempo
to save his dick from a meat-grinder and it was pissing everyone else in the
band off big time. After the suck-ass, low-paying gig we were breaking down and
hauling the shit downstairs (no elevator, the low-rent shit hole) and the stoner
tripped while carrying his cans down the stairs, he went head over heals, drums
banging, cymbals crashing all the way down. Me and my bassplayer looked at eacth
other and simultaneously said, "That's the best he's sounded all
night!"

lmao!
ithink the worst gig we had was driving to el paso, played 2-3 hrs. in a shit
hole. reminded me of the blues bros. with the cage in front of the stage. at one
time every person in the place was involved in a brawl, except us, then. turned
around and drove home. all that for $1oo.oo each. i think we smoked and drank
the profits on the road trip out and back...:~}

Haha! It never happened. That's just a joke I embellished on a little.
I have walked out on a gig or two though. It just ain't worth it sometimes. One
we walked out on because by 11:30 there were only five people in the bar,
counting the band and the barkeep and we were playing for a cut of the take and
chump change. The stupid bitch owner called me the next morning and started
ragging my ass saying she never wanted me to play there again. I told her to
just shut the fuck up and that's just fine, saves me the trouble of cancelling
the rest of the dates we had there. That is a true story.

we learned the hard way to get the cash up front. before we left the house the
gig ws paid for. some bar owners would try and weasel out saying they had a bad
night or some shit. oh I'm sorry, and that's my fault because? lol, the good
'ole days huh?

I don't even play out anymore. It's not worth it especially when it stops being
fun.

A ventriloquist is onstage and during his show a bass player stands up and
yells,"HEY YOU! ONSTAGE! You been making smart-ass remarks about bass
players being stupid all night long! We're not all stupid ya know!"

"Relax" said the ventriloquist, "They're just jokes!"
*
"I'm not talking to you!" The musician replied "I'm talking to
that little bastard sitting on your knee!"
