Playing in Sunglasses

Anyone else find that playing sunglasses makes their playing way cooler? :sunglasses:

My bass skills are so poor that the only way I can be cooler is if I play outside…

…in the winter. LOL.

I just have this theory that wearing sunglasses appears to increase your bass skills by at least 50%. At least that’s what my husband told me last time i played live! I was wearing sunglasses because it was sunny in the pub garden.

Works for Joe Dart. Combined with epic, neck-breaking head bob and you’ve got the coolest dude this side of 4 strings.

The disadvantage of sunglasses is that i can only really wear them outdoors. Wearing them indoors exposes me to certain very uncool hazards - knocking over music stands, misjudging the steps to the stage and generally blundering around like Mr. Magoo. Not cool. Not cool at all. What is the solution to this dilemma bass buddies? How can a 67 year old Nana maximise her cool bass factor indoors?

Not sunglasses but my playing is improved by ear plugs…

Incredibly cool flip-ups for when you need to navigate steps/cables etc?

One of the other bassists at my church puts his sunglasses on his forehead while playing, like just above his eyes. :joy::sunglasses:

Can’t really see it, but this guy seems to have some kind of glasses … and he looks reasonably cool!

My playing is also improved when you wear earplugs.
