Everyone Played Bass. Chaos Ensued: SNL’s Hilarious “Bass Lake Jam” Sketch Is Pure Gold

SNL dropped a sketch this weekend that all bassists should appreciate.

Big Ricky and the Minnows hosted a potluck jam session where anyone could join the band on stage. What started as a slow low-end groove quickly turned into a full-on bass invasion, featuring a version of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and more.

Even a “bass-it” hound made an appearance.

Sure, no one was actually playing the bass. But we’re not here for technical accuracy. We’re here for the low-end love.

Enjoy.
