Basses Jokes

This joke may contain profanity. 🤔

The New York Philharmonic was conducting a rendition of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

If you are not familiar with Beethoven's 9th Symphony it's a tremendous piece of work, but the bass line is atrocious. Not because it is complicated, but because it goes like this:

**"bbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"**

He wakes up ducked taped to his bass, floating in the harbour. After his first panic fades he looks around and notice...

A very rich man is having a very big party on the hottest day of the year

The party features a full big band performance and an open bar.

Meanwhile, the bass s...
