Welcome to Ugly Bass Player

Home of the internet's ugliest bass community, plus the UglyBass Forum and the Ugly Archive, where people from all over the world send in photos of themselves and their bass faces for our amusement.

At Ugly Bass Player we're dedicated to providing a fun, irreverent and informative community for the bottom-feeders out there who hold the whole band together during the gig, only to watch the singers and twangers get all the glory.

Well, it's been awhile since ya'll have seen the ugly mug of the guy who started this mess we call a website... so here's Slade in all his ugly glory, with a quintissential Bass Face working for him as he thumps out the bottom end for our dub band The Missing Channel. I think, maybe, this is the very definition of a Bass Face: sorta like the Ampeg 8 X 10 behind him just rattled something loose in his intestines, he's just caught a whiff of it, and he very much approves of (1) the overall flavor and (2) what it's gonna do to the twanger next to him. That's an "uh huh, thaaas right baby" face he's wearing there.

Now, ya'll don't know Slade's Mama... but I do. She's a very sweet woman. To this day I still can't believe she made this creature you're looking at .
