Whatever happened to SMASH?

I haven't seen Smash post in a good while. I used to enjoy some of his posts.

We talk occasionally. We met at NAMM. He told me he doesn't spend much time of TB anymore. Never told me why though.

He's not on here very much anymore. You'd be better off emailing him.

Someone mentioned this thread to me, but I'd neglected to stop in to address it until now.

Wow. Thanks for asking!

>>> He told me he doesn't spend much time of TB anymore. Never told me why though.

It was nice meeting you at NAMM, Maki. You're damn cool !

Put simply - much more bass, much less talk for me. Very busy with several great projects, musically and otherwise.

It also just doesn't sit well with me that the general audience can be grossly insulted with preposterous claims of super-hearing, magic specs, charities that take but don't give, etc. but if someone shines a light on it and asks for some proof - even legitimately offering big money for said proof - they're somehow the insulting party and the thread gets closed and thereby BS/scammers get an easy out.

None of that is a comment on the moderators - just some observations.

Good to see you SMASH. I hope you have more time for us in the future. I still read the investing thread you posted in a whole bunch.

Hey Smash, welcome back. It sounds like you have been busy playing bass so that is a great reason to be absent from TB

Glad to hear that you're off enjoying life. I miss seeing you call BS on those who need it, but dealing with the fallout does get tedious after a while.

I was just wondering the same thing. I happened to be
listening to STOKE live on the way home Friday night,
good recording, man.

I miss seeing you around.

Hope to see more of you when you have time. Take care, bro!

Just a thought: Maybe you should not take it so seriously? There is a fool born every second, scammers will always be around, it is best to just ignore them.

I'm another member of the SMASH fan club. He was great at dropping the cold hard reality hammer on people spouting off BS.
