Worlds Fattest Bassist

Yeah, we know the big fat bassist stereotype, but who wins it? Nathan watts comes to mind but I'll bet he's small potatos(pun fully intended) compared to some guys.





Somebody can easily beat this one!!!!

I've lost 65 pounds recently. Trying to lose 20 more. I'm sick of the big fat bass player stereotype.

Paul Goddard form Atlanta Ryhthm Section may not be the fattest but I think he'd place high in the Fat and Ugly contest.

How did you do it? I am looking toward shedding some extra weight too. PM me if this is a thread hijack.
