Do you know any famous bassist/musician/artist or celebrities (else from "Ask The Pro' sub forum boards) that also TB member?

Who are they and what are their nicknames here?

I just know Bob Babbit (but I don't know his ID/nickname here).

First one that comes to mind is Johnny from Staind. He posts here sometimes.

This what a user calling himself 'nordstack' posted on a thread in the Effects forum about Dick Lovgren, the bassist for Meshuggah, in context of what makes up his tone:

Previously did a dual thing with using a Boogie DC5 clean with a Metal Zone thru a Marshall 4x12 with Vintage 30's. You really have to back the low end off and not go TOO loud, the speakers won't be able to handle it. Dual input into a SWR Bass 750 with a Goliath 6x10 and Son Of Bertha 1x15 (that head will run at 2 ohms all day, ain't skeered). I know, a lot of **** to haul around for a "tone", but we're odd that way, aren't we? Gear Gear Gear

Obviously it doesn't imply it's him, but I like to dream

Steve Bailey is fretless surfer.

Juan Alderete is jacojacojaco.

Mark White from the Spin Doctors is here (and has been to a TB GTG, I'm told), but I don't know his name.

Anthony Jackson posted at least once, but I don't recall his handle.

Jay Bentley of Bad Religion has posted, but again I can't remember the handle.

I know that Charlie Mingus' and Willie Dixon's grandsons are TB members (forget the ID)... also Scott Edwards (Bassist for Stevie Wonders and other top artists).. Also the bassist of "Six Pence None The Richer" (CMIIW)...

Anybody know some more?

Vail Johnson, Kenny G's bassist. Haven't seen him a while, though. Not since the "all lightweight amps sound like crap" melee.

Then you've got your Jauqo III-X.

Ok.... I'll admit..... I am Paul McCartney.... please no PMs....

Glenn Cornick signed up and posted once. Never came back though, he had just got married and probably had better things to do.

LOL!! I got to be Mark White for a song. Played " Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" with Chris Barron. I did the best I could to match the original recording, but I'm not that FUNKEY!! Serious slap and pop. Kudos to Mark.
