Frank Itt ISN’T Dead
- Thread starter DJ Bebop
- Start date
It wasn't though. If it was on BassTheWorld's site it would've been a more credible statement. It was just a random comment by a random person on YouTube.
Hopefully lessons were learned that you can use throughout your time on the glorious world wide web. Be careful out there!
Yes I see that now, it was a comment on their Bass the World YouTube site that I thought maybe was policed, like here. I haven't been back to that video post since this has come up. I don't know if they themselves have addressed it with some sort of anouncement.
I made the mistake that it was real, at the time I saw it where there was no other comments to refute it. It was early in the morning, and our family had just lost an old friend a few days before. I was lost in my emotions in the moment as the fake announcement “triggered” me as they say today, and I reacted as Frank had made an impression on my wife who never paid attention to those product videos I watch as I said before.
It was a mistake I will hope not to repeat. Unfortunately to do that I have to go back to avoiding sites like Facebook which I do and mistrust everything that is online.
I hope again, anyone who cares, I did it out of emotion and not out of malice.
I can only try to do better and hope my fellow riders on the planet do the same.
Found a couple of cool records with Frank Itt on youtube

Here is an album of a group in which Frank was in with Terence Trent D'Arby. Frank helped pen one of the songs.

PS I don't really see another website that is more BassTheWorld than their YouTube site. I mean I see they have more social media sites like, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. I don't see one more prominent than the other. All seem to function the same. Hence I am thinking under their name they would all be policed the same. If you know of one please hip me to it
I get that a lot.
True story: Years ago, I was in the midst of applying for a mortgage when the lender informed me that my FICO score had plummeted and they could no longer offer the rate they’d promised. The reason? I was dead.
(Note that they did not say they wouldn’t lend to me, just that the rate would be higher.) It took weeks to straighten it out. Copies of birth and death certificates to all the credit bureaus, banks, etc. In retrospect, I missed a golden opportunity fake my death and assume a new identity, preferably one that would also be the beneficiary of my life insurance policy. 
Wait... So you aren't dead but you were able to provide them with a death certificate!? Hahaha
Yeah. Kinda brilliant, huh?
Sorta like post-dating a check. “See? I can’t be dead, because according to this official-looking document, I’ve got 45+ years left.” I did, however, leave the cause-of-death blank (to be filled in later). Being too specific might have raised some questions.
All good. Not a big deal, mistakes happen. Lots of misinformation on the web and sometimes it's hard to tell real for fake. Life goes on. Keep rocking brother @DJ Bebop
There ought to be some way to report, prosecute, and punish for "malicious idiocy" for starting such false crap....
The reports of Frank's death are greatly exaggerated.
I do wish that Gregor would play bass in his videos on occasion.

@DJ Bebop Just so people know, my post was for DJ Bebop. Not the clown who started the false news.
Frank is an absolutely fantastic player. He's always entertaining on video because you can see just how 'into it' he is, but even if Basstheworld just supplied his audio, it would still be great because he plays so well.
