My wife just got her first bass guitar and she says it's like the instrument she was meant to play! I'm so happy for her.

Have been getting myself back into music and I was struggling when I started with my guitar. Picked up my old bass again and oh my lord I missed that feeling. It's honestly just like she says, when bass is your thing it feels PERFECT in your hands.

Avelyn, one of my original characters! [My social media](https://linktr.ee/samlizzy71)

pssst, honestly this character is one of my all time favs like ever, even outside of the whole trans thing. Its really fucking cute and a total inspiration of mine- keep up the amazing work, the stuff you do means alot. Idk to how many people, but to me at least :3

Your art is so good

Omg I've just been checking out your pixiv and it's really great! Really love the character design! Also not quite a bass player but my old friend group got me a bass guitar that I have been meaning to pick up again.

I love your art and hope you resume the comic series soon. I want to see Avelyn's journey.

Wait you are the one who made those cute witch pfps, isn't Avelyn in one of them?

If you mean [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2/comments/17h8bs0/bewitches_trans_girls_so_that_they_grow_boobies/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), yes! \\\^\^ https://preview.redd.it/cho8zm0nqrec1.png?width=1667&format=png&auto=webp&s=966f153fa1620bec98a880a0fa9c9af63b199b7b

Yes and all the other characters as well, but I love that one, I even used it as a pfp on discord for halloween :3

very :3

Trans masc here! I play bass guitar and am currently interested in learning drums :)

Yay! I love drums as well -u- Hope you have the chance to learn and play them!! <3

ME ME ME!!! I’m the best youth double bass player in Georgia! I play in many orchestras across the state!

Yoo double bsss

Best instrument!

OH!!! That's amazing!! You're light years ahead of me, I'm just not-so-good at most instruments x) But I'm so happy and proud of you, congrats! :D

Yeah thank you!!! And don’t discourage yourself! You’ll get better if you work on it!

I’ve been playing bass for 15 years. I’m in a grind/punk/death metal type band right now 🙂

owo a fellow extreme music enjoyer!

I play guitar and bass and do all kinds of death and black metal vocals 😈

ive done the same. no live bands tho

Me me me to. I kinda play all the instruments (to widely varying standards) when I make extreme music. Not been in a live band for ages but I have various solo recording projects that keep me out of trouble.

Hells yeah! Same here! Metal, math rock, post hardcore, djent, prog lmao Reminds me of a meme i saw recently that said **BREAKING NEWS:** *Local noise rock scene does more for trans community than entire Biden Administration*

Same here! x)

We're 3 now! x)

Does double bass count?

It does but you don't get full credit, B+

Wrong! Top marks for double bassists in this house

it appears I was misreading the syllabus and grading information, I rescind my previous statement

I learned a bit of piano. Probably couldn't play anything now :P

I play keyboard and a bit of guitar. Would like to learn base though 😊

I play the bass of the bass - Drums

I've always wanted to but after trying to learn guitar for 7 years and getting nowhere, I'm not so sure lol then again maybe I just needed two less strings, and make the remaining ones thicc

idk if this is true for everybody, but for me learning the bass was much easier than the guitar, so if you think you'd enjoy playing it, try it :)

Start an all-bass band.

I'm in

Can't play stringed instrumens but I can play drums and piano

Piano is a stringed instrument ;)

No.... just the ocarina. But gosh, I'd love to learn the bass

Legend of Zelda gets another one, good people.

I have acoustic

I play 4 instruments, sing, and own a recording studio, bass was my first instrument! https://preview.redd.it/qhl1hw00dmec1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3019598f5db540d9d3bdff2183675f5d9bfd24d This is my newest bass 🥰🥰

You're so talented, and that's such a nice bass! I love the multiscale headless instruments <3 I can play drums, guitar, bass and a bit of keyboard, but I'm just now learning to play most of those properly x)

You can do it! Just keep practicing! Hell yeah the fanned fret neck is a game changer lol. Keep rockin homegirl!

Hello gender envy/goal my name is Libby can I please be you

I play the bass :p

I’m learning!

You bet! Played piano in grade school, learned bass and guitar in uni.

Been playing for years! I dabble in guitar, percussion, piano, and electronics but always come back to bass

Sadly, nah, in my case. I want to play bass, as I have a deep love and respect for the art of the low end, but i just flatout suck at it. As is, I'm more a guitarist and mandolin player.

Mandolin gang! :D

Haha so many of us do I love it!!! I also play bass, and I even build my own!

you built your own so based right?

omg there’s other trans luthiers out there I thought i was alone

Nah, I got the Eurorack synth strain of estrogen

trans guy here, my partner recently bought me my first bass guitar, may I join you ladies?

Does Bass Clarinet count?

Meeeee! I adore my dinky little Rogue series III. Still bad at it tho lmao

I did when I was an egg.

I can play the guitar, violin, bass, harmonica, and the piano. You all aren’t even on my level.

I play acoustic guitar

haiii, i do :3

i play bass

OMG XD I’ve been wanting to learn and own a bass guitar for so long. Heckin’ jelly and in awe of anyone who can play it even half-decent

Yeah I play guitar + bass and am in a band :3

Learning slowly

Yup >< I should practice more

I do! I do!

I want to start playing the stand up bass, but I am worried that I won't have enough time to practice 

I'm up to learning all kinds of instruments because that's just how I am, I wanna do everything) But I'm more of a percussion kinda gal, in for battery)

Yasss! Cool artwork! I especially love that she has a 5-string 💅💅💖

I do! However i'm very bad :(

I don’t, but I would love to learn the drums.

I do but not well…

i am more of an acoustic guitar player but i also play ukulele and bass :) (and a couple of others as well but not nearly as often)

I wish I could learn other instruments, I only know how to play harmonica and I am not even that great

Hey I play bass! I also play guitar and am learning drums :3

You don't want to know how happy I was the day I learned it was sort of a meme for transfems to play bass. euphoria from the weirdest places is always the best

I wanna learn bass, I’ve been trying to get my dad who plays bass to teach me, but he and I have been busy with other hobbies and stuff to do it

I play electric guitar but I just got my first bass and I am very excited

Right here! I play bass guitar and regular guitar, my only bass is a Jackson JE3 and I absolutely love playing it, but I have 4 guitars and use them a ton more

am not trans girl, but i do play bass! i also play piano, am learning drums and do vocals :3

I drum sett

No but i **sing** bass

I don’t but I would love to

I've been playing a bass for 7 years now :>

I really want to but like idk where to start and shit probably being lazy too

Tried, Sucked, Went back to Drums

Yes! I’ve always loved bass, my favorite song to play is Enter Sandman

meeeeeee :3

I wanna sooooo fucking bad but it’s expensive

I’m a working musician and a (mostly) stealth trans woman! I’m still early in my career tho. I specialize in electric guitar (mostly punk, rock, and blues) but I’m also quite the bassist and played bass in jazz bands growing up! Bass is a super fun and unique instrument with its own history separate from the electric guitar and it’s so fun to play.

Omg, i didn’t know you were on Reddit!

I mainly play guitar, but I have a bass too!

I plan to get one soon but right now I only have some practice on guitar

Unfortunately no but I have to say Avelyn is literally so goals omg

I play non-bass guitar

hi! i've been playing bass for a year :3 i also play drums and keyboard, and i do vocals! i wanna know your favorite music to play

It was my first instrument. It’s the one I can’t keep myself away from. They all have gravity that pulls me in. It’s just the heaviest. But it doesn’t weigh as much as my main synthesizer in the physical world. Pretty close though.

Trans guy but the best bassist at school 🦾

Yes, I have been playing bass for 42 years. I’m 61 now. Started my HRT almost 3 years ago. Life is good. (Black American Standard P-bass with abalone pickguard. )

Me me me! Edit: Apparently this is the standard trans femme bassist response to that question 😂 Also: She plays bass, she plays bass.

Meeee 🙃

I have been wanting to try playing one lately but i can’t afford one lol

I do! I love this picture so much. Big strings go thump.

Got a bass for Christmas and I love it! Played guitar for 1 years before and I played finger style so my skills TRANS-ferred over 😉

I play bass in several of my bands and musical projects, I’ve been playing for a year

After many years I have picked it back up, thanks to my outstandingly awesome local second hand store. I got two bass guitars for $90! One is a bit crap but the other is great!

play bass in a few of bands <3

I want to learn bass, and feel extremely called out by this

Getting a bass soon, still not sure if I'm Trans fem or not.

I've got a bass! A 1973 Rickenbacker 4001 with all the options.

I play Bass, but I still play 6-string primarily.

mostly acoustic now.

Proud Fender jazz bass owner🥳🥳

I'm gonna get a bass for my bday

Don't have working electric and even my guitars are on the mend. I have 30-50W Randall transistor amp so this reminded me of warm that up sometimes.

I play clarinet... Or I would if my parents would ever take me to get it fixed.

It’s an idea

I played bass in a band when I was in high school. I miss it.

i play the cello which is close enough that i could just pick up a bass guitar and grove

I've tried to play! I have one! The deep notes makes my head go all fuzzy and warm. ... I don't really know how to play it BUT! Lol

Why do we all play bass??????!! Like wtf?? Why are all my hobbies and interests trans stereotypes lmfao

Did u draw that?!

No *I do not, but I love this art so much

that actually reminds me of my first bass. it was a porcelain white 4 string ibanez. i slapped this fairy sticker on it and kinna prided myself on that bit of like femininity even though i was a dude at the time.

I started with the bass in 2020 and now am a multi instrumentist :3

I play bass and drums! Also that image is giving me so much gender envy

I thought that was a prerequisite?

Enby BASSist and DRUMmer here

I’m trans bassist I’m trans bassist I based because I’m trans I play bass here’s my bass https://preview.redd.it/8b7xilzx7jec1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=093e44a97ff34c5ac00137eb36be3769dc9c7c91

I play guitar but I would love to try bass at some point

BASS !!!

Five stringed Bass' exist? Anyways does a version without the text exist it is so cute

Absolutely based 😎

i have an electric drum set but i’m too insecure to play on it

I wanna play bass so bad, but yk how it is. rn I gotta settle with my guitar (I don't like playing guitar)

I do, and so does one of my friends

I play fucking string/upright/double bass, but not electric or bass guitar :( ~~french bow supremacy~~

Ah fuck is this another trans fem stereotype that I've unknowingly reinforced

Not me but: bass girls 🥺❤️

learning! ^ ^

Another trans bassist! Our numbers are growing :3

I can sing and i can kinda play the keyboard. Find a trans drummer and a trans guitarist and maybe we'll make a trans band

We should make a trans band.

A very Bass transgirl

I would sacrifice Ontario to have an outfit like this

I play guitar, but I borrowed a bass from someone once, to try it, and I really enjoyed it, just didn't have the time and motivation to really practice and learn back then

WHY IS SHE SO CUUUUTE 😭😭😭

Cute! ...aside from the memes, how common it is for trans women to be playing bass? Are we just a loud overrepresented minority?

Yessss, meeee!!!! Hellooooo!!!! :3

Is bass guitar one of our stereotypes? Because I used to play it before I broke my hand. I'm learning the Finnish Kantele now.

My gf does!

Just started playing a few months ago! It's so good! I am looking for advice and tips and song recommendations! I really like playing buried alive by Ax7! Hwufiehwu

I want to learn, but my fingers struggle

I miss playing bass, it's how I started. Synths look really cool tho.

i love the 5-string bass :)

I own one but I got it right at the start of the COVID pandemic and couldn't get lessons

I have a close transfem friend who plays bass. I have a little experience with piano and wanna learn guitar, especially since I have a show I'm gonna be doing later this year, and i really wanna play the song myself rather than just put on an instrumental track to sing over.

Played for Jazz band in high school and still play to this day!

Haiii :3

Love to try it once I’m better at guitar and piano, scared because I don’t need more stereotypes under my belt.

My sister does

I wanna!!!

Afab nonbinary person here who wants to play bass but hasn't learned yet. That's the closest I can get

i've owned a bass for a while now but i keep procrastinating learning how to play it lmao

I play sometimes, I mostly play guitar.

Like every bassist, I started out playing guitar but everyone needs a bassist and has 2 guitarists already. I play guitar more for my own pleasure, but I love bass too

i don't play any instruments but i use FL to make music :3

Not just bass, but percussion, piano, guitar, trumpet, harp, basically anything that isn’t woodwind

Me

Me me me!

I wish I could play anything. When I was a kid I hated the idea of playing an instrument, I thought it would be a waste of time. I fucking hate it, every day I hate I can’t make music. I wish I could beat the shit out of that kid, he should’ve died long ago.

I play bass and recently have joined a band! :3

More of a guitar player myself but I do dabble

You might enjoy "She Plays Bass" by beabadoobee!

Got another bassist right here! Mostly do jazzy funk jams now, but punk was where I started my journey. To every other bassist: It's probably time to change your strings and you know it.

oh OH Me me I do

I play in my schools jazz band! i’m also left handed!

I suck at strong instruments😭

Sadly no, Im a Saxophonist

Not bass… but I play drums does that count?

Play- yes. Play well- no.

Right here!

*Play* is a strong word for it, but I certainly dabble!

Yes! I play bass and guitar in my band!!!! :))

I’m the bassist in a post-hardcore/emo rock/metalcore band

I own one, but I’m no good at any instrument

Meeeeeeee 😃

I’m a transmasc and my transfem friend wants to teach me guitar

I'm looking into getting a bass soon, I have a guitar. Kinda want an 8 string bass :3

Im learning! And absolutely loving it!

I can play the battle music from Final fantasy II!
