I've been playing bass in bands for over almost 40 years now. I've been a member of TB for about 15 years or so. I met a lot of really cool, interesting people on here that have been so great, supportive, informative and helpful with just about any kind of question I've ever had. I've learned a ton, not only about bass and all the equipment, but about life as well. To all of you, I owe you a huge THANK YOU and a ton of gratitude.
I've also met some real jerks, asshats and people I'd never associate with in real life on here, and I appreciate meeting them too! We disagreed even on how to disagree and it's all good and cool with me.
After all my years of playing bass, I've spent the last 5 or 6 years trying to put something worthwhile together but the music scene around here sucks horribly (or is it sucks tremendously?) and musicians in this area have no balls and have forgotten why they even do what they do. So, I sold off all my bass gear, even my beloved (and one of the original) fEARful 15/6. I bought a beautiful Taylor acoustic guitar and I'm just going to play for myself, my friends and my family and write some music, develop my playing more and just enjoy music for the reasons I got into it in the first place. My only regret are these tiny little strings! LOL.
So goodbye to everyone here. I hope you keep playing bass with passion and spreading the love of the low end. Best damned bass website on the planet. I might perhaps check in from time to time. It's been a wild ride.
Peace and Love,
Mark (aka - Sundogue).
