There are two, and only two, bass related offences that can be committed, and they are as follows:

Not slinging your bass low enough = booking, followed by a second yellow if not immediately rectified.

Slap bass = straight red.



In the words of that Hetfield fella, nothing else matters.

here's a tip for bassists. if you join a band and during one of the early rehearsals one member of the band hands you a printed ticket on which he has outlined an "offence" you must exit the band quickly, they are obviously ding as fuck.
RUN AWAY!
