Maybe it just means you shouldn't play a Precision.  ;)

LOL (at least not a black with white pg squier that everybiodiy's little brother has).

I was gonna post that in the drummer out of gas thread, but then



and especially:



(though I would argue that this is more of an exception to the rule thing, and yes there's plenty more, but still).

I just started gigging again and all of a sudden my gf decides it's time to break up. Maybe there's something to it. My next gig is at a 21 year old girls birthday pool party so I think I'll survive.

Nofi, coming out with your lesser Fender sins is all good, but you are dodging the crucial question: How many girlfriends at any given time simultaneously? After all this is the forum of scientific validation. We need to know now: Is a Fender shape inherently unattractive, distasteful even, to the female half of the world?

Control your variables Uwe; maybe it's the plain vanilla sex pickguard; put a tort on there to spice things up and things might just get better.

From reputation Mark's never had a problem with relationships being a bass-player...

Ah... this might raise other complexities... ;D

I once knew a guitar player who matched the equation.  The problem was that after a few years, he was on the same side of the equation as the guitar.

LOL Yeah this has been making the rounds on fb and friends and family seem to delight in it. Frankly I have never had any trouble in this department. Do I get the attention that say the singer or guitarist gets? Of course not but those usually are not the types I'd go for. It's all mute these days anyhow. I may surround myself with beautiful basses but I have always been a one woman guy.

Because they're often hard to see, often at least partially obscured, it seems to me it's drummers who have more of a problem getting chicks.  I had a drummer friend switch from drums to guitar just for the women.  He is a great drummer, too.  I'd put him up against anyone.  Not quite as good on guitar, but still very good.  The point, though, is he is someone in music for keeps and decided being a guitarist would give him more visibility than being a drummer.

i sang lead or co-lead in most of my bands until around 28  so I am not a good judge.  IMO waitresses always seemed to like this bassplayer.    ;)

In my experience girls do seem to comment more on guitars or basses that are not the "typical" shape. Even just an unusal or attractive finish can make a Strat or LP stand out more to them, or so it seems.

LOL at George's version.

The truth isn't that simple, but it's not as dire as the the original version either.
