Hi,

I'm sure one of these folks is the bass player. ;)

Thank you for your indulgence,

With all due respect, that list is suspect for several reasons. That journalist presumably couldn't also compose a list of the BEST hipster bands. He reviews hip-hop. He just doesn't like "hipster bands". If bands like that aren't your thing, why name & number them?

Plus? The article is from 7 years ago. There's WAY worse crap going on now. :)

With all due respect, it's just a joke meme about 432Hz tuning. I searched for a suitable picture and used that one because they looked like a hipster band. The picture was featured in that article. Consider it "quoting my sources" for the meme I made. I found the whole situation amusing. I could care less about the article itself. In fact, I like Pomplamoose. ;)

sorry if this is a repeat

With Floyd Pepper on bass! Like most bass player's, he was the most well-adjusted in the band. You can still get his action figure which has a pretty good approximation of a Fender:

Call me pedantic, but it always bothered me that action figures (and many pictures) depict Floyd as being right-handed. He's a lefty.
