okay.....some on the forum know that I've gone public in banning the "bassist wearing a hat" syndrome.

 

Lead guitarist- guy with hip clothes in the front of the stage...with all the cool poses.

 

Lead singer- guy on the front of the stage with the great hair that goes home with the great looking lady.

 

Bassist- bad hat covering something but thinking he looks bohemian and hip.

 

Please guys......from one bassist to the group......ENOUGH WITH THE HATS.

 

Berets, fedoras, cowboy hats, ...........:mad: :mad: :mad:;)

I don't need no hat. I've got a completely full, thick head of hair.

 

 

yes...but please realize I said "bad hat covering something"...I never said "covering lack of hair".

 

I really want bassists that wear hats to come out and tell me why. It's been over thirty years I've been seeing this and I still don't know why. Nobody else on the stage does it to the degree of bassists.

 

I've also noticed it is usually blues and rock guys versus R&B, Jazz, fusion guys.

 

It has to be a statement or something.

 

"Tony Levin don't wear no stinking hat".

I wear a black baseball cap at all times, always bill-forward. If you see me in public and I'm not wearing a black baseball cap, I'm either:

-at work

-in a Halloween costume

-getting my hair cut

-trying to avoid detection (because nobody would think it was me if I wasn't wearing the hat.)

 

I'm like Linus with his blanket when it comes to this. I honestly don't like being in a social setting without it, it's very uncomfortable for me, and I have good hair.

You'll never catch me on stage wearing a silly beret or cowboy hat or anything, though. But I will be wearing a black baseball cap.:D

Ha - I think those particular stereotypes disappeared sometime ago, circa 1989................
