[DJ Bebop]

I had just seen this BassTheWorld video for a Sire headless fanfret bass and in the comments they said Frank ITT had died

Oh no! Was just watching that!!! That man could play!!

Sorry to hear. Great player, even more memorable: his unrelenting "bass face". A real inspiration. If only all of us played with such conviction.
RIP.

Because of that Bass Face and his playing. My wife had me order a bass he was demoing she walked in on me watching. Too bad is wasn't a Wal or something.

If you read the comments under the video you'll see that people are saying Frank's death is a hoax.

I really hope so.

 

[Bass Viking]

I really hope so.

Frank is my favourite player on Bass The World!

Here's what one commenter said:

Frank is not dead. That commenter below has other comments on their profile claiming Frank died in Berlin a couple of weeks ago as well. Disgusting behaviour. BassTheWorld, can you delete that comment from the person claiming Frank is dead please?

Frank has da chops. Glad this was a hoax cause that's one bass face I really enjoy.

Edit this thread title to include HOAX ?

I guess you know you’ve achieved a certain level of notoriety when people start spreading rumors about your death.

wow! you're still alive?!

 

[RGerhart]

Oh good to hear he's still around. Along with great playing, Frank still has the best bass face out there.

 

[Low Down Brown]

Man, I hope that's BS! He and his bass face are one of the best reasons to watch BTW. I was just telling someone about him the other day. Gotta get me Frank shirt...

I was a rattled when I saw the topic. Love that guy! Maybe an edit to the subject line isn't a bad idea.

Pretty obvious from the username of the commenter, as well as the context, that it’s a hoax.

It’s a random profile, with a bot looking username and without a p2p, posting in the comments of someone else’s video.

 

[GroovinOnFunk]

There are people that still just believe everything they read in comments sections? Internet's gonna be a dangerous place for ya.

 

[bassbrad]

That is a relief, Frank is always fun to watch and an inspiration for portly and aging players that still want to throw down nasty funky grooving bass lines.

 

[PizzaBall]

This made me really sad at first, until I read more about it being apparently, a hoax. Which makes me happy, I love "Gregor's Dad" .
