Anyone familiar with the guys over there ? I took the plunge a few times.. no names I recognized from Bass guitar Forums.. it looks like a whole other world up there, yet it's the same Talkbass..
(their OT looks totally dead without a MM...)

I don't play DB so I never post. |

Who knew??

| | irritating, yet surly | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: aurora, IN | | they only allow us electrical types over there to polish the ivory in their tower...and that's only on a day pass.
sometimes, though, if you say that you only play plank for the gigs, admit a secret fetish for Samuel Shen and worship at the shrine of Rosin and Gut with proper deference, Fred Fahrquar will deconstruct your screenname for you.  |

Like a whole nother unexplored region of a planet that you are already living on... and the only thing that you've heard about it, is that it's populated with grumpy old men. I've ventured over there only a couple times in my life and came running back to this side. |

Grumpy old men? I'm not old ...though I am known as quite the irritable chap...Is it a sign?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Maui | | | Fuqua's been pretty quiet over there lately, I PM'd him to say Happy NY. He stays pretty busy with the actual manipulating of the double bass. He also doesn't Fuquize names much anymore.
We probably come off as a bunch of grumpy old farts; sometimes we are. I play BG as well as DB, have for 35 years in fact. I like coming over here and checking out the slab side, and the characters that live over here. You guys are an interesting lot. Also, you would never see a thread about socks on the DB forum. That was nice.
I play jazz DB for a living, but I listen to everything, and still play slab a few times a year when I get the call. Enjoy the hell out of it when I do. Coming over to TBBG helps to keep me up to date on stuff. |

But I wandered into the DB forums yesterday and there he was, in full flame. |

I figured out who the evil SuperDuck is, but I'm not allowed to say it as it would stop the space/time continuum. |
