Famous-ist TB'er

[b to g is yummy]

I'd be interested to know of famous bassists who use this site, whether it be you, or someone you know of

 

[grace & groove]

That would be me. How you doin'?

 

[James Hart]

plenty.... most stay in the shadows because a couple that have came forward got harassed and left.

 

[grace & groove]

^Links to any of that? I know a few that are here but everyone's been really respectful to them.

 

[James Hart]

it was years ago (some before my time even)... no I don't remember screen names / topics. Most 'bad' stuff gets locked and/or deleted anyway.

 

[grace & groove]

Yeah. Well that sucks. I hope if they came around now this forum would be nicer.




Back onto topic, OP, I am probably the most famous person on the internet. What do you want to know?

 

[Amitio]

To save you some time, i'll tell you it's not me

 

[Infernal Affair]

I'll state the obvious with Mike Watt used to be on here.

 

[wingnut]

define "famous".

 

[Krinkle5]

what about Michael Manring and Steve Lawson?

 

[HollowBassman]

I'm pretty famous. If you come to the international TalkBass GTG, you can meet me.

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

Juan Alderete is on here occasionally, Justin Medal-Johnson shows up and does a Q&A forum, Ed Friedland is a member. and of course, you can't forget Jauqo III-X.

and me!

 

[DWBass]

Vail Johnson, Steve Rodriguez (or something like that). I believe Andrew Gouche (gospel) is a member.

 

[DWBass]

Woodchuck and BassSlave have pretty good gigs as well. Jackie Clark (Howard Hewitt, Shalamar) is on here too.

 

[Eminor3rd]

Justin Meldal-Jonsen is JMJBassplayer or something like that.

 

[AlphaMale]

I've heard of Juan Alderete, and I think I've heard of Jeff Berlin.

 

[capnsandwich]

I've talked to Janek Gwizdala and Rufus Philpot on here before. Rufus had one of his Ibanez basses for sale in the TB classifieds. I think Tal Wilkenfeld is on here too.

 

[Hellbastard]

Jean Baudin ERB bass player
And famous, at least within the metal community
Jan Erik Torgersen (Tyr) Bass Player for Black metal bands such as Emperor and Borknagar

 

[the_fonz]

Yep. Thats for sure, as I've had the pleasure of introducing one to TalkBass so he could also join us.. then I totally left him alone, and I don't make mention of him.. its just common courtesy. He'll post every great once in a while I've noticed.
