There's a stereotype associated with bass players that is best described as "lazy slob" (popularized by the "Bass Talk" segment on "The Bob and Tom Show"). The stereotype implies that they are unemployed, uncharismatic, and lazy because they are the least recognized member of a guitar/bass/drums/vocal setup (and therefore have no social skills and masturbate a lot).
Examples of jokes using this stereotype:
Q: What's the difference between a pepperoni pizza and a bass player?
A: Both are greasy and filled with fat, but a pizza can feed a family of four.
Q: What do you call a single bass player?
A: Homeless
Q: How many bass players does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: One to say "fuck it, someone else will do it."
A (another one): One. The guitarist will change it while the bass player bitches about him hogging the light.
By the way, I do play bass.
