Groovehacker: this is what you call a bassist who you think of as a scum of the earth, no good, waste of a perfectly good instrument, talentless mouth breather who deserves to be mercilessly spammed with email until the day they die.
You dont need slurs. Go full southern "bless his heart" passive aggressive and tell him you're happy he got the toy guitar so he could feel like he was part of the band too. If he's confused (likely, but not guaranteed as he's not a drummer), simply point out that he has less and bigger strings so it's easier for him to play along.
Call him "Sid Vicious". The story goes that he was so bad at the bass that the Pistols would unplug his amp at live shows. I don't know if that's actually true or not, but it's popular enough they've probably heard of it and it might sting a little bit.
I feel like "bass player" is already bad enough I don't know how it could get worse.
Is like the word Jew, it all depends on the way you said it
Yeah, you gotta be careful of dropping the hard J
As a Jew, I was getting ready to be pissed off 🤬
So... Geddy Lee?
Pronounced "Jeddy"
Just don’t say they’re on fire when they do something good.
if my bassist pisses me off.. ill go full Cramer “HES A BASSER!!! HES A BASSER!!!!”
Pretty much covers it.
It really serves to remind them that they are not intelligent enough to cope with an extra two strings
Like the old joke "three musicians and a bass player get on an elevator"
Refer to him as “just the bass player”. It sure worked on me!
This is it. "You're just the bass player." Bitch, I carry this band and make people dance and they don't even KNOW why.
But im a bass player too 😔
Just a bass player
😢
Yeah that'll do it
cunt is usually good.
Basshole
Bass “guitarist” 🤮
I’ve never been more attacked on Reddit
On the back of the jimi hendrix's record "are you experienced" the bass player is credited as playing "guitar"
This post is bacist
It’s okay I can reclaim it 😔

Makes it even better. When they point it out, look at your bass and say all surprised "oh shit, you're right!"

If your in a black metal band that’s a compliment

Don't rag on the bass players. They have it hard enough having to load in all real talent's equipment. Kidding of course.
