To be serious though, I was in a relationship because "hmm a bass player in a leather jacket".
I find the opposite is true gender swapped. Nothing makes a girl more attractive to me than playing bass.

I have to agree. Instant crush.
I recently had a crush on Juna Serita.
Imo the only thing more attractive than a girl playing the bass is a girl playing funky bass : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8dNctci1Y

That's bassism.
Which is worse, bassism or drumism?
As a bassist of 30+ years….. I feel seen.
Usually we're not seen. This is your moment, brother.
Look, everyone knows that the bass player carries the band>!'s gear!<
Without bass there is no rhythm or soul the music sounds flat
Preaching to the choir, my guy
Wouldn’t people want partners with demonstrable senses of rhythm?
CBAT starts playing in the background…
Not according to my maracas..

What's the purpose of bass players?
Well, somebody has to wake up, wash, dress and feed the drummer before practice.
Jokes on you, I'm colourblind
Then how did you know this was a joke at all?
It's about bass players.
Yeah, but we slap and make the ground shake.
I love that. I'm going to say that at practice this weekend.
I had to turn down my Fender Rumble 500 because if I turn it to 5, it makes my pants flap like I'm in front of a fan, and it caused enough vibration to make one of my drummers crash stands fall over lol
F Rumbles are great. That's a great example why lol
Now you just have to use the threat of turning it up to end discussions
I should buy a bass
Same. Very, very heavily hinted at a used bass guitar for Christmas this year. Put a harmonica on the list as a joke as I was being nagged to put more stuff on the list.
Now I own a harmonica.
That's your mistake, you should have included accessories for the guitar so they'd feel guilted into buying it for you.
Or you just get a bunch of accessories and nothing to use then with.
I own my part in this, though I know if I added the amp, cables, maybe a pedal, and some guitar picks, I would have ended up with a nice collection of guitar picks.
Because my wife and kid are assholes who think they are hilarious, which I have encouraged because I am too.
You can get a cheap $80 bass on Amazon. They actually last a long time, i still play mine, and it keeps your tuning forever.
Grab one of those and play for a year. It's the perfect starter bass.
( I love mine. The guitar shop in my area always asks why i keep using it. By itself it's got too much "trumpet" sounding, but with a reverb or other pedal i love it)
I mean id probably go all out and get something in the $750 range ish. I'm a musician and I play many instruments, just haven't gotten to bass yet.
is it possible to change tunings on a bass from say E to Eb without needing to take it into a shop? I say this because it is possible on guitar but I'm not sure if the giant bass string tension will make this process different and more difficult.

Do it. And put effort into it. It's a great investment.
