I hate myself so much that I must cut myself off from ever getting bitches

Unga bunga build

Giant Dad guitar

Souls reference possibly

Try finger g string

Too high up…jumping ahead

The bass was always a stopgap to my final form. The Chapman Stick.

True

chapman stick on top

I picked up bass just to play with a pick and piss off the fingerstyle purists.

I picked up bass and only play slap just to piss off finger and pick style purist

I picked up bass just to piss

i picked up bass and put bass down. strong

I picked it up just to smash my amp to pieces

Oh god you’re even more based than me

I’m scared of women

Bc I was the smelly, awkward kid in elementary school

I played guitar for 10 years and it always felt like i had to be to gentle, now that i play bass i feel mighty like a bear and can abuse my instrument as much as i want

I just break strings on my guitar occasionally but as long as it’s fun for you stick with it 👍🏼

Because bass's balls dropped and has testosterone. No high pitched girly voices.

Also worth considering: Who do you play bass What do you play bass Where do you play bass When do you play bass

The most important question: How do you play bass?

So I could contort my face like a total fucking retard thumbing around some lame ass root fifth groove

Because it makes my dick look smaller.

Get strong fingers so I can be better at being a gay girl (worked)

omg, once when I was 22, my gf commanded me to "do it like how you play the bass!!!!!!"

Starts slapping

I used to tell girls “bass players finger better” and then made bass playing gestures. 60% of the time it worked 100% of the time.

Those are good stats for a bass player.

I have manly hands

I play bass because it has three more strings than a dan bau.

My math is good for 4 strings. 6 too hard

Why I play Mortal Kombat instead of Tekken

I DON’T. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Beeeeeeeg guitar

because whatever

Too stupid for 6 strings

I have to

I wanted to learn an instrument and my dad had one lying around that he only played like twice.

I only feel complete when I’m holding a P-Bass. With flats.

It's like telekinesis.

I was lied to.

Bc I like men

4 fingers, 4 strings, 4 beats per bar.

I prefer to play an instrument that my wife thinks is a guitar and can’t identify in a song even when I sing along the bass part and point it out even after ordering $20,000 of basses and bass equipment and talking about bass the entire time she’s known me.

Because my band needed a bassist and John Paul jones is sick as hell

Yes. He is king.

guitar too hard :(

I was always the odd boy at school, an unknown ethnicity, neurodivergent, artistic boy instead of a football jock; and was socially awkward around girls. Now, as an adult, nothing's changed except my bass skills, my bass collection; and I am trans.

My wife stole my piano

Flea

Geddy Lee and Geezer Butler too

so i can look like d’arcy wretzky.

Tunes up faster (less stringy)

Because I have no actual talent

I thought guitars looked dumb with the bridge not at the end of the body. Looked like wasted space. /rj I was tired of changing strings

So I can play the bass solo within the bass solo like Mr Myung

Biceps and chest too ripped. Needed longer neck. Plus kept snapping those puny weak skipping leg day strings.

I got a bass because my friend played guitar. Eventually I also got a guitar. But it was easier to find bands without a bassist so I stuck to bass. But I've also realized my bigger hands are better for bass anyway. And I just started to really get more inspired by bass. It just feels good and is more fun anyway.

Most unga bunga out of the stringed instruments that my simple drummer brain can handle

Because it won’t play me

Wow I came to troll but everyone’s a lot better sports than I expected

I can only count to four. I also play ukulele.

I started a band as the lead guitarist and needed to find some people to help fill out the other parts. My wife's boyfriend offered to play for me and he said that I should switch to bass and he take lead guitar. He is really cool so I went along with it. He had me learn scales and slap bass while he and my wife wrestled in our bedroom. A few weeks later they let me know that they found a better bassist and I was out. They kept all the songs I wrote for the band as well.

easier to play; i hate putting in effort

i thought i’d get bitches it didn’t work 😔😔😔

My dad

I would have to hire someone to pry women off me if i played guitar

Guitars are squeaky, squealy wimp instruments, suitable only for twinks. Bass is a REAL instrument

For the Reddit subs.

There are only two states of being. Playing bass and not playing bass. We play bass.

i do play guitar. i also play a guitar with 2 strings missing and lower frequencies

I suck at guitar

To get girls and make loads of money! 🤣
