Lead singer keeps stepping back from the mic - eventually he steps right on where my instrument cable entered into my pedal board, and neatly disconnected my bass. Took me about 15 seconds to figure out exactly what happened. Fifteen exceptionally long seconds!!
Yyyesss!!! Thank you for this awesome compilation - that was great, totally love those stories! Even the world's greatest bassists do mistakes, too - and it's makes them even cooler. Hope there will be more stories, would be great! ❤👍
My favourite onstage cringe memory is from being in a band where we opened our set with a super quiet opening sixteen bars. As I was barely tickling the bass I could hear the sound engineer out front lifting the volume fader up on the mixer (and thinking holy cr@p!) knowing that in a few bars time the band was going to explode into our opening song and the PA was about to get desrroyed!
Great compilation... What is great fun is sitting around with bassists-- musicians-- and trading stories like this... Such as playing a biker bar, nice looking chick comes over during a break, starts chatting me up, asking if we do certain songs. I think great, so i start chatting her up. My band mates then physically pull me away from her. Come to find she was with the biggest, badest looking guy in the bar. If looks could kill --or beat the crap out of you!!! Fortunately, he only gave me some seriously bad looks the rest of the gig. I did catch a bunch of crap from the rest of the band, who felt obligated to rescue me if things turned bad!
Great compilation! Thanks for this!

This is excellent. Love the idea of asking this to so many greats. Thanks for doing this and uploading for all of us!

Funny! By the way, what brand is Bakithi's headless bass, anyone?
