Oh f*&^! Definitely one of the greats and explorers of electric bass in rock music! "grease it down Timmy" was up there with "Willie Weeks y'all" as a constant on my turntable. He's the reason my first bass had a maple neck.
Fly on Tim.......................................................................

If anyone needs a reason to play a P bass or thinks they are one trick ponies or are boring, etc etc etc, listen to Monster Tim.

I just saw on the Facebooks that he passed.

You might want to fix your subject line again.

That website is s**t. There are multiple “death hoax” pages there and they all have the same damn text. There is no million liked page on Facebook. THIS page is the fake news.

The thread title should be changed since it isn't a hoax.

Serious Bummer! R.I.P. Mr. Bogert.

Wow, massive reality check. #1 influence to my playing and Cactus was IT growing up on Long Island. Talk about appreciating every day....

 

[Alkali Ike]

Yeah, he's not one to go that easy..

He'll be at Keith's funeral.

I think it’ll be the other way around.

Tim Bogert Dies: Bassist With Jeff Beck, Vanilla Fudge, Cactus Was 76 – Deadline

Tim Bogert (Vanilla Fudge, Cactus) has died

Well that really sucks, he was one of my all time favorites, and I just posted some stuff about him yesterday here.

UPDATE: Carmine Appice has confirmed the news that legendary musician Tim Bogert has died at the age of 76. On his socials, Appice wrote:

My true friend Tim Bogert died today.

He was like a brother to me. He was my friend for over 50 years.

Tim was a one of a kind bass player. He inspired many, many bass players worldwide. He was as masterful at shredding as he was holding down a groove, and Tim introduced a new level of virtuosity into rock bass playing. No one played like Tim. He created bass solos that drove audiences to a frenzy every time he played one. And he played a different solo every night. He was the last of the legendary 60’s bass players.

Tim was a very intelligent person. So intelligent that we would call him “Spock”. You could ask him anything and he would know something about it.

I loved Tim like a brother. He will be missed very much in my life. I will miss calling him, cracking jokes together, talking music and remembering the great times we had together, and how we created kick-ass music together.

Perhaps the only good thing about knowing someone close to you is suffering a serious illness, is you have an opportunity to tell them that you love them, and why you love them. I did that, a lot. I was touched to hear it said back to me. Nothing was left unsaid between us and I’m grateful for that. I highly recommend it.

Rest in peace, my partner. I love you. See you on the other side.

Man that sux. One of the first bassists that stood out to me. Thanks for hanging on.

Thanks.

Damn...... 2021 is shaping up to suck worse than 2020!
