Bass Guitar Jokes

How many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb?

  • None. They let the keyboard player do it with his left hand
  • Don’t bother. Just leave it out–no one will notice
  • One, but the guitarist has to show him first
  • Six: one to change it, and the other five to fight off the lead guitarists who are hogging the light

A guitar player comes to the doctor and complains about a serious deterioration of his memory. He especially has a hard time remembering correct changes and is afraid to lose all his gigs. Since the doctor can’t find the cause, he asks the guitarist to leave behind his brain for a week in his lab for more detailed examinations. After seven days the guitar player fails to show up, and even after 2 more weeks there’s no sign of him. Finally the doctor runs into him on the street, grabs him and asks: “Excuse me, but your brain is still waiting for you to stop by and pick it up, so why don’t you show up?” The guitarist says, “Well, I think you can keep it; I finally switched to bass…”

A man gives his son an electric bass for his 15th birthday, along with a coupon for four bass lessons. When the son returns from his first lesson, the father asks, “So, what did you learn?”
“Well, I learned the first five notes on the E string.” Next week, after the second lesson, the father again asks about the progress, and the son replies, “This time I learned the first five notes on the A string.” One week later, the son comes home far later than expected, smelling of cigarettes and beer. So the father asks: “Hey, what happened in today’s lesson?” “Dad, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to my lesson; I had a gig!”

A tour manager comes across the guitarist and bass player fighting at the side of the stage and pulls them apart asking what the problem was. “That bastard detuned one of the strings on my bass”, says the bass player, “And we’re on stage in five minutes.” “So what’s the problem?”, asks the tour manager. “He won’t tell me which string it was he detuned”, said the Bassist.

  1. Jungle story
    Mike D Bass

    A missionary becomes lost in a deep and dangerous jungle but after some weeks, he hears the sound of drums, and he staggers his way towards them, exhausted and starving.

    He finds a small village where the headman welcomes him, feeds him, and nurses him back to health. As he slowly recovers he notices that the drums continue to beat, night & day, day and night which he begins to find annoying, so he asks the headman if he could ask the drums to stop,

    “NO! Never! – if the drums stop, something VERY bad will happen!” So the missionary tries to ignore it, but eventually he again asks if the headman will get the drumming stopped, and he again get the reply that if the drums stop, something VERY bad will happen.

    So he asks the question “So- what WILL happen when the drums stop?”

    The headman replies “AIEEEE – Bass guitar solo!”

  14. Bass Joke
    Wayne Renardson

    An unemployed bassist is really bummed out and in need of work. He’s
    talking to a guitarist about it and the musician tells him, "I hear
    they’re just dying for bassists in India." The bassist buys a plane
    ticket to India and as he’s stepping off the plane, upright in tow, a
    guy approaches and asks, "Are you the bassist? Here’s directions. Be at
    the gig at 7:00." That evening as the bassist joins the group the leader
    begins counting off the song. "Wait! Wait!, yells the bassist. "I don’t
    know the tune!" The leader tells him, "Just fake it. But be sure you
    give me heavy back beats on 7 and 13."
