Ok, time to stir it up. Who's your favorite TB bassist? Give your reasons why. We're talkin regulars here not the guys with the big endorsement deals. My vote is Munjibunga
and I've taken a vow of silence.

Everyone. I like everone here. I think that all the regular TBers are great people that are really fun to talk to, and a blast to chat with about bass stuff. That said, I can't name everyone...it would be most of the list of people here ate TB. That's why I post here, and hang out here most of my intenet time.

Now for my votes with regard to actual bass playing (This will be skewed horribly since I've only heard recordings of about 2% of the TB membership):
- Best player: JT
- Worst player: Me!
Yep, I can't sleep........

However I'd have to say that guys like John Turner, Jazzbo, and Bruce Lindfield really have my respect. Not only for their sheer musical knowledge but for the fact that they have never, to my knowledge, attacked anyone for their views, or become confrontational without keeping an air of civility in the conversation. That shows marvelous restraint, tolerance, intelligence, and maturity. Oh yea, and becuase Bruce plays a Tobias, Jazzbo has that great signature, and John is actually just an endorsement for Conklin.
P.S. I also like Max Valentino, after all, he is one of my idols.

I olny met a few TB'ers: Christos, Blux, JoeNerve, Nino-Brown, JoelEoM, Oddentity, Mr. Fortune Cookie, are the names I remember.
All of them are good guys and all love to play bass, and I enjoyed jamming with the ones with whom I've had a chance to sit-in.
I only have one TB'er on my Ignore List right now. So I guess I can deal with the other 21,022 members. |
