You are right, that's a good idea. For example, we also have a bass forum in Moscow and there's a separate thread called "our faces" where all guys post pics from gigs and studio sessions 'cause its always easier if your forum mates are personalized so you know whom you speak to.

Took a trip to see some bands yesterday. Outdoor festival in Orlando FL. The headlining act was Godsmack which, as most of you know, features Spector artist Robbie Merrill. Right before Godsmack was Staind with Spector artist and Talkbass member Johnny April. Also on the bill were Pop Evil with Spector Artist Matt DiRito on bass. Twas good to see Spector basses represented so well at a major show. You can look up what type of bass each artist plays. Our man Johnny was rocking a Spector shirt so he gets extra points. However, even without the Spector shirt, the day was owned by Johnny. Easily the best bass tone of the day with Robbie a very close second. Matt a very distant muddy third. What constitutes best in this case was Just my personal taste. But even my wife, who is not a bass nerd, commented on the sound of Stainds bass. You could hear it. You could feel it. Excellent growl/grit.

The singer from Staind is from my area...even played the same place my first band use to play in the early 90's "Jokers". He even joked about it last year when I seen him doing his solo stuff at the "Z" saying that back then he use to get like 5-10 per show...this my friends is true...so every year or so he does his solo stuff back to where it all started. :bassist:
