douchey-ist bass face?

[40Hz]

Dartanyan Brown, Pete Cetera and Greg Lake were all endorsing Rippers around the same time as Gibson was on a mission...

A doomed mission as it turns out.

And who is this guy anyway?

I wondered the first time I saw that as a full page ad in GP way back in the mists of time. And I’m still clueless about who that is to this very day.

Begs the old Esquire Magazine lead in question: “Why is this man laughing?”

—-

Minor historical note: the Ripper in that ad had to be a prototype. The actual Ripper had a totally different looking set of pickups (no mounting rings or metal covers) and a differently shaped pickguard.

That's not Dartanyan Brown. Dartanyan Brown is black!

sure isn't...thanks for correction. I made an assumption based on this:

Just by association....name next to picture...I won't do that again!
But on a side note Dartanyan Brown did play a Ripper
So, who is this guy? Is the Ripper that good it makes him smile? Is this guy really from the 70's porn casting call down the hall or the Three Musketeers casting call like previously commented?????

WHOA! Lexxi Foxx is NO DOUCHE, he's just really good at acting like one. Probably one of the most entertaining live shows ever too!

Hey my friend, the thread title is bass face not player. I'm sure Este is nice too.

Yes, I was saying it was all intentional douche facery by Lexxi and not genuine douche facery.

What about the 'straining to poop' face?

Actually, this is one of my fav fretless players, Ralphe Armstrong, but hey, I think everyone makes some crazy faces when they really get into it....just some more so than others....

Yes, he did. (Although I admit I had to look him up.)

I dunno who this dude is--probably a model, believe it or not. Not a pretty one...

Haha, is that Abe Laboriel?

I saw him at a club here in LA when he was 74 and he was jumping around on stage like a teenager. GREAT performer.

Anthony Jackson I believe

I've been told I display "I have a headache" face. On bass or guitar.

Jack Casady is worth a mention. Saw him in '69 and he looked just like this!

Looks like Samuel L. Jackson playing bass LOL

We were playing on one of the nicest stages so the guitarist's wife wanted to get lots of pictures. She's a professional videographer so she had an excuse. But I was getting annoyed with her distracting me so i made a douchey bass face to try to ruin her picture.

Naturally, they all loved it and wanted that to be my official publicity photo.

That's not bass face, that is the exact moment Chris remembered he forgot to drop grandma off at Hospice. Yikes! Well Chris was never her favorite.
