What do you call people who hang around with musicians?
Bass players!

Thanks to all who've posted here - I love musician jokes. I used to play violin, and heard many viola and soprano jokes. On the positive side:

Why was the bass player the most important person in the room?
He was a need-to-know bassist.

But when a bassist is good, it’s really cool. Good bassists will always have a gig, if they’re looking.

also depends on genre. In some metal bands, Bass is completely useless. They are buried in the mix, just makes the guitar sound thicker. in Jamiroquai, that guy is the foundation of every song.

I love playing bass too.. but can’t pass up a good bassist joke.

A bass player is playing on a street corner for tips when suddenly one of his strings breaks. The bassist is a little saddened by this, since he can't really play Jazz with only 3 strings. He contemplates whether he should go buy a replacement string, but after some time he decides it could wait and starts playing Rock instead.

He plays Rock for another hour when suddenly another string breaks. The bassist is again quite saddened but decided it really isn't that big of a deal, but since he can't really play his favorite rock songs with only 2 strings he moves on to play some Blues.

The bass player continues playing for a few more hours, slowly starting to enjoy the new Blues tunes he's playing, when suddenly the 3rd string breaks. The bassist is really disappointed now, but it's already late and all the stores are probably closed, so he decides he'll buy the new strings tomorrow. He continues playing, but since Blues can't be played with only one string he starts playing Pop Music.

He has fun playing Pop with his last string for some time, when his last string breaks.

The bassist is saddened again, but with no other option he finally starts playing Metal.
