Shameless plug for a TB DBer

[jimclark68]

Jeff, I couldn't even guess at how much that fish weighs! Actually, I do no fishing at all, which is sacrilege in these parts - I'm surprised at times that fishing isn't the state sport. I was searching for an interesting picture for my avatar and did an image search for "double bass," and this pic popped up. I thought it was kind of funny. By the way, I enjoyed your website, too, I checked it out after I saw the link on this thread. You have been a great source of information for me, and obviously for the others at TB.

Darn, I thought I'd found a new fishin' buddy. There was a time when I was a bass player, loved to fish for bass, and drank Bass ale exclusively. I always wondered about that coincidense.

[Danny Adair]

Just out of morbid curiosity, does anyone have an idea of how much those Bollbach basses cost? Although it's likely going to be a while before I can upgrade my DB situation, I'm a sucker for beautiful new double basses.

Jeff,
I enjoyed your site very much! I really like that Yew Tailpiece of yours! Interesting wood, looks a lot like curly Bubinga. You present your site in a very knowledgable fashion. I wish I could afford to start playing upright on something a little more well crafted than plywood, but I have the money for neither at the moment.
Keep up the good work! Very educational!

Hi Jeff and other interested TB-ers,

You're already mentioned at www.basslinks.nl (also hundreds of individual bassplayers are to be found in the links, the most you'll find on the web!!!)
Check us out; already one of the coolest bass sites around!!! Thousands of visitors find their way to BL and you'll certainly get exposure overthere; ehh correction.... you're already exposed at BL.

maybe you could be the first to post? (this forum is up for two hours ... but you might have noticed that too
You're welcome! Live dangerously for once


btw;
I don't see a fully accredited Berklee professor moderating here ...
There's a possibility to learn something!

For example that you as a player also are listed at BL (in the players links) ...

GERBERHOCKEY,

That's because you only have to be a fully accredited curmudgeon to moderate here...speaking of which, let's not steal Jeff's Thunder in this thread. I'm inclined to have a soft spot for the aforementioned site since it will be Xavier G's new home after he was run out of TB by the BG OT cretins, but this thread is supposed to be about Jeff.

Welcome to TB, and please fill in your profile when you get a minute.

Seeing what constitutes an "acoustic bass" on your site, I think this is the wrong place for you.

I can see that you can't come up with something more original/contributive and since this is Jeff's thread, whom i only tried to help by mentioning that BL had already listed him (and that was one of the initial questions he had; how do i get linked up with other websites), i will leave this discussion to keep Jeff's thread running like it should be; by helping or suggesting eachother with this question, leaving behind you ´useful/helpful` guys to do your thing ...

In any case: you remain welcome at BL and if you have some valid remarks/suggestions besides the 'photoconstitutes' kind of communication, we're open for your feedback! Maybe you could help me too the way you're helping Jeff ... ? Well.....maybe not? I certainly didn't get any good vibes out of this, to my sincere regret i had to encounter this cynical and childish behaviour between us bassbro's ... (???) Guess i`m from somewhere else (?)

Respect!
Your bassbro, Jabberwocky


p.s. Jeff, i like your site too! And THAT'S sincere!!!!!

I must say that for several weeks I didn't realise that your avatar was a picture of a Double Bass. Possibly because of the small size we get and the way it was framed, my eyes were seeing the reddy-brown part as the background with a sort of dark bluey-green "nipple" in the foreground!


Maybe this says more about me than anything else - but I just had to tell somebody!

[Jeff Bollbach]

Whoa!! For a change I'm uploading porn to the internet! I never thought I'd resort to subliminal advertizing.
BTW-some of you fine fellers may have noticed that the rant section of the site is offline. It's up for some revision/addition and it should be up soon. I'll let you know.

Mr J.B. Wock-thanks for the help and compliment.

Gotta give BL a shot, at least; Bruce Gertz is the moderator, so there's hope.
