any major league players here?

[Skygoneblue]

It's all about the song! I've listened to your lines a few times... you are doing just fine

Amen to that! I definitely remember when I had just started on bass being shocked by how awesome that simple bassline sounded. I loved the tone, and still do!

 

[CallieBum73]

I love this place!!! Never met anyone famous in my life!!!!

 

[Arsenal_Fierce]

im still lost on what a cherry boy is

It's a slang term for "virgin" in Japanese.

(And once again, my translating skills come in handy. Now if only I had the bass skills to match....)

 

[skeptikal]

Staind is still one of my favorite bands. I loved the dysfunction album. Welcome to TB

 

[NKUSigEp]

any signed major leaguers hangin out?

Probably not, this is a bass forum...not baseball

 

[StyleOverShow]

Hey new guy, welcome to:
1. The world of opinions, with some facts.
2. An amazing international forum about all things bass
3. Yes there are some real players here, and some good techs, etc.
4. Some fun too.

That guy from guttermouth hangs around here. Not sure how "major" that is though! There was this other guy selling a 57 p who claimed to have been in a major band, had the doors, janis, and the grateful dead open for his band. Plus a bunch of other guys who have a recording deal in their country but we've never heard of this side of the pond!

 

[MellowTone]

hmmm...i've had a shot or two at it...

i was a member of jbt for about 6 months....we played at bonnaroo, opened for john mayer and dave mathews and ended up at a heap of summer festivals in 2002

i've also recorded on electric and double with a handful of aussie artists

i got more to tell but i'd seem up myself, but i just love playing to people...the bigger the crowd the closer i get to heaven (and i don't mean i suffer mild heart attacks.....)

cheers yo

Hi, may I ask who you've played with and which albums you've ended up on?

BTW, I'm an Aussie.

Cheers.

 

[Bass Note]

Could you give us some insight on being in a band of that size?

 

[Nick Kay]

Juan from Racer X and The Mars Volta pops in here now and again. Goes by the screen-name "jacojacojaco". I wonder who he's influenced by?

 

[PilbaraBass]

while ed friedland may not be "major league"...he's an incredible player and his "bass whisperer" reviews are both educational and entertaining...

he pops up here quite often...

Uhh.... I give up, who is it?

Cool to think some of the bigger names hang out here every now and then.

 

[Sane]

Just noticed you joined, Welcome

I actually have your autograph around here somewhere The infamous Biloxi MS family values Arron Lewis + Fred Durst Outside acoustic "duet". Yea Dysfunction was a huge album for us.

Keep it up

Donna Summer = どんな夏？　(Means, "How's the Summer?" in Japanese.)

Not her.

Wow. Summer is Japanese for Summer. What a coincidence. I always thought Summer is pronounced Na Tsu in Japanese. Thanks for setting me straight "How's the Summer"

 

[Ryan L.]

Brian Ritchie from the Violent Femmes is a member here, and pops in from time to time.

 

[ras1983]

And hadrien feraud has posted a couple of times, and he replied to PM too! also very cool.

Ed Friedland is also a great author on bass education. I regard him up there with Goldsby and Stagnaro.
