[tbirdsp]

Before I got back into playing bass in 2012, I was big into motorcycles. Had this 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport. Never thought I would sell it - but I traded it for another bike in 2007. Been using tbirdsp for a handle everywhere for years.

Missed that bike, so I have this 2009 Bonneville now...

Hi,

I would hope that my username is an obvious play on words.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I'm embarrassed to say I just now got it Cliff

 

[moshspeggeti]

I made a YouTube account when I was 12. I have no idea where I got the idea for the name from though, I forgot. It's stuck with me though, and I pretty much use it for everything now.

 

[Diamond_Dave]

Not that I'm a big DLR fan, but I got the nickname in high school when VH was big, and I've always used it on forums. My avatar is Chuck D.

 

[carsbybigd]

I used to build race cars[CART,Toyota Atlantics] and all my friends call me "Big D".

AOL email from years ago, now too late to change here - and I have bulldogs (and make baseball bats - Bulldog Bat Co.).

 

[Jefff]

Ummmmm.... Yeah..... It's my name.

 

[timobee4]

When I was a kid I did boxing and the black eye was nicknamed "timo" I also happen to love honey and people say that I was a bee in my past life so putting a 4 after the timobee pronounces timobefore. Don't mind that although the 4 was half intentional. Not sure if the name was taken or a number had to be added or just lazy and used another like password so I can remember. That's basically it.

 

[Red Four]

I have red hair. My basses have four strings. And I'm an old-school Star Wars fan. (Though the resulting user name has no connection to the actual Red Four in Star Wars: Link Removed.)

 

[Bassdirty]

When I joined was in a band named dirty...and I plaeyd bass.

 

[Squawk]

I used to travel for work. I was in Vegas working, and my coworkers and I were 2 blocks away from the strip walking back to our hotel after finishing work for the day and every day these crows/ravens were just standing around in our way. So I chased them away yelling "Squawk". My coworkers were two of my best friends and it just started from there.

I always joke that are band name is Squawk and the Flock.

 

[since197three]

I've been around since 1973.

 

[Gizmot]

Back in the 70s I was a keyboard player with a Hammond, two Leslies, an RMI piano, a Minimoog, a Hohner Clavinet and an Electro-Voice Eliminator -- lots of gizmos. I got that as a nickname.

 

[Marriedwithbass]

I am married, I also own a bass.

Progressive Rock is my favorite genre of music.
