[IconBasser]

heh, In the HS jazz band, we're coming up with nicknames for all the rythm section.

so far, we've got Mr. Plinky-Dink (Piano, we call him that cuz he's new and all he does is go "plink")

and we've got ticky-tack the drummer, who finds it prudent to bang his sticks together every second that he's not playing.




I just call the guitards the guitards.

 

[IconBasser]

oh yeah, no names for me yet.

My old drummer called me relia-bill because I was always 5-10 minutes early for rehearsal as opposed to the guitar player who was always 5 minutes to an hour late.

my older brother started calling me El Whappo because i'd beat my bass hard enough to leave imprints of my hand in the wood
this was before either of us were aware of the amps of the same name
lucky coincidence though

I got a text message from my rhythm guitarist recently that addressed me as "low frequency one".

I kinda liked that.

 

[Dave R]

The band memebers call my bass amp "the beast" because its a beast to move.

Demonic Criss.

Ironic thing is, I'm Catholic and we go to a Catholic school.

Voice - Jim the walking man(can't stand still)
Rythmic G. - The Outbo@rder(something with the rythm)
Lead G. - Bill the Te(rory)st (he just worships gallagher)
Drums - Nik the Vitamin C.
