I've had this Fender bassstreet.com poster hanging on the ceiling over my work area in the garage since about 2001 when it was made.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the players pictured? I tried a few internet searches and came up empty.

It's pretty cool, 25 years old now...!

So @jmjbassplayer this being done 25 years ago, did they put you all together in one room, or was it embryonic Photoshop, or just good old fashioned photo-chemical printing?

This is not all the players in one room, because that pose in the center is Ray and did that exact pose in another ad.
