The only ones I know are LaMarquis Jefferson (acomplished Atlanta studio musician and producer) and Adrian Garcia, acomplished Las Vegas (and South Florida) bassist extraordinaire, besides the guys at the Pro's forum.

But famous, famous, like. . . oh, Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes) stops by once in a while.

Tom Bowlus is famous right (atleast on TB)? Afterall, he is the only person on here that has most EVERYTHING we all want. That would make him famous I guess.

Alan Goldstein of Aghora is a member of TB.

Aghora is pretty well known, as well as Alan for his solo work.
