bassist

Someone who plays the bass. There are three kinds of them:
-Punk/metal bassists. Just like punk guitarists but even more idiot so they can only touch one string at a time.
-Jazz/funky bassists. People who, along with drummers, should rule the world instead of those corrupt politicians. Everything would be better.
-The rest. Like punk bassist but they can play a different note every beat.

The punk band bassist have played three different notes during the gig.

Jaco was a funky bassist. He played a non-freted bass!

bassist

Most unappreciated member of the band. Often carries the riffs and glues the song together.

Note: people who switch from guitar to bass because they think it's easy or couldn't find a bassist for their band are NOT real bassists.

Bassist

The bass player is possibly the most important player in the band, however the bass player doesn't show up to practice, but if they do they show up 30 minutes before practice ends. The bass player is usually the brunt of all jokes.

The bassist was too cheap to buy new strings before going to the studio, so he left his shitty 15 year old strings on his cheap ass Squier. Then when the bassist left the studio, the Guitarist re-recorded all the parts of the songs the bass player was supposed to play with an American Fender Jazz Bass with new strings.
