You know who gets less respect than bass players? Tromboners.
I have three friends who are professional jazz musicians (trumpet, tenor sax and skins). They have countless jokes at the expense of trombone players. I can't hang with them without hearing 4-5 new tromboner jokes.
TRUMPET: "What's the difference between a skunk that was hit by a car and a trombone player that was hit by a car?"
TENOR SAX: "There are skid marks in front of the skunk." (chuckles)
SKINS: "The skunk was on his way to a gig." (belly laughs)
Nothing is anything until it is written. After that, it's everything.
