Bassist

For Urban Dictionary Slang Purposes: A bassist is someone who hangs around musicians.

Larry learned how to play an A, E and B on the bass guitar. This was the entire prerequisite for joining a band.

Bassist

Usually a failed guitarist who does not have the skill to play a six stringed instrument. Inevitably the brunt of all jokes within a band and not entitled to an opinion. Confined to the lower end of the frequency range shared only by snails. Credit is gained by playing with fingers rather than a pick and with more strings than four. However this only brings them up to the level of the common earthworm.

An exception to this rule is Cliff Burton (RIP)

Guitarist: Hey I just wrote this cool song - what do you guys think?

Bassist: It sucks.

Guitarist: Get out of my band.

Bassist Syndrome

1. When your picking/strumming arm gets noticeably larger from playing bass, or you get cuts/blisters/dimples on your hands from playing.

2. When one feels ignored, or as if they don't get enough credit, as bassists are often overlooked despite being a huge part in a bands sound, just like a guitarist/drummer/keyboardist/vocalist/etc.

I got a bad case of bassist syndrome.... hug me?

bassist stare

The blank, uncaring stare a bassist gives to a guitarist when the guitarist goes on about how he learned that if he holds a chord on lower frets, he can sound like Kirk Hammett, or anything like that.

Guitarist: "Dude, if i hold a D-chord but put my middle finger on the G-string and play them fast, it will sound like the intro to Master Of Puppets. Isn't that cool Jared?"

Bassist:(Gives Bassist stare)(Not paying attention. Thinking of girls in G-strings) Oh ya, Cameron. that's crazy

Bassist Arm

When you play the bass guitar so much that your strumming forearm actually gets bigger than the other. Sometimes confused with Muscular Forearm Syndrome. Sometimes cause by both.

I.E: "Dude, your arm is huge! You need to lay off that masturbating!"

"No man, I play bass, i have Bassist Arm..."

"Oh, that's what you call it... perv."

Bassist

Someone who plays the bass. They have no friends because they play the bass. And they often have a little tub.(fat) Everything bad should be blamed on them because they aren't good for anything. They also eat everything in sight.

You can say you're going to raise a bear cub and tell yourself that it won't eat everything but in the end the bassist eats everything.

Wow what a bassist move.

wait, do you play the bass? because that was retarded.

Bassist's Finger

Bassist's Finger is a condition among most finger picking bassists,that when blisters form and break on the Thumb, index finger , middle finger,and/or (sometimes) ring fingers of the strumming hand and create sores about the size of a water drop on the finger. Generally the blisters appear after a lot of slap/pluck technique or strumming in general for a allotted period of time.

Person 1. Dude! What happened to your finger?

Person 2. I got Bassist's Finger during my show last night.

Person 1. I bet it hurts like hell!
