it was years ago (some before my time even)... no I don't remember screen names / topics. Most 'bad' stuff gets locked and/or deleted anyway.

Yeah. Well that sucks. I hope if they came around now this forum would be nicer.




Back onto topic, OP, I am probably the most famous person on the internet. What do you want to know?

I've talked to Janek Gwizdala and Rufus Philpot on here before. Rufus had one of his Ibanez basses for sale in the TB classifieds. I think Tal Wilkenfeld is on here too.

Yep. Thats for sure, as I've had the pleasure of introducing one to TalkBass so he could also join us.. then I totally left him alone, and I don't make mention of him.. its just common courtesy. He'll post every great once in a while I've noticed.
