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 

the very heart and soul of any band
without him/her any rock band is no more
then a boy band with Marshall half stacks
they usually use a combonation of finger
picking,slapping/popping,and picking to get their orgasmic sound that makes the crowd jump,along with the drummer the bassist is the sexiest member of the group and thereby usually ends up with the most groupies...or a hot girlfriend.Oh, and a quick side note;recent archeological digs have proven that not only did jesus and budah play bass,so did Zeus.

OMG,that bassist is sooooo sexy,i want him right now!!!

Bassist 

A musically inclined person who, instead of being a showman (like most guitarists, but not all) is more the pure musician along with the drummer, the pianist, and the mandolin player, the "musician in the group.

But the main job (this, coming from a bass player) is to translate the languages between the guitarist and the drummer, for they speak two totally different languages.

And popular to popular opinion, the bass player does not usually create the rhythm or even state it for the guitarist to play along with, it is the drummer that does that in most circumstances. The bass player in most occasions adds to that rhythm and makes it more complex, or creates a bas(s)is for drum solos.

Guitarist: Dude! I am the leader of this band.
Drummer: *obscure mumbling*
Guitarist: What'd he say?
Bassist: He said you're a douche, dude.

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-drummer relationship 

The coolest people in the band, and for some reason the most underepreciated. They are two unlikely heroes who band together to take out those snooty guitarists and man-whore singers. They are the heart and sole of music. They also are (normaly) best friends, and they get most of the girls because they aren't drug-addicts and crawling with STDs like the singers and guitarists.With the exception of an occasional guitar solo, bass and drums are the best.

Wow, Cliff Burton and Lars Ulrich (in Metallica had a great Bassist-Drummer relationship..... and probably got all of the girls
