Thread for people with join dates 2002 and older

[P. Aaron]

You, Turock and P Aaron share that honor.

If I could find my original avatar I'd go back to it, of course I'd need to send Paul some $ first.

I added to my sig 'cause of the cancer battle & the Fender clubbing stuff.

I added to my sig 'cause of the cancer battle & the Fender clubbing stuff.

I've added and subtracted a few things in my sig along the way, but the most of it had been with me since Jan 2001.

I think Brad Johnson has had the same sig forever, too.

 

[KPJ]

Hey, I'm in!

I'm still on my original avatar, too.

Good to see y 'all. I would have joined sooner but was still enjoying Kevin verses the world on TBL (some epic Fbass vs Fodera battles). Embarrassed to say I followed him here, but glad I did. Also spent time at the Dudepit (what ever happened to him) ? Some oldtimers over on the dwindling fenderforum (lotsa knowledge still there). Been a long time since reading Harmony Central reviews. I like it here best of all!

Hey kids,

This topic is only for people who joined before 2002. We'll talk about the good ol' days before all these kids and their damn tabs and Korn music.

Has Clan Tabevil still been a vigilantly getting all curmudgeony on the youth of today?

I can't remember.......

Perhaps, but you changed yer *name*, didn't you?? That nullifies any avatar longevity!

Nope, same name since day 1.

 

[Eric Perry]

Nope, same name since day 1.

Who the hell am I thinking about then???

I was a member over at the Dudepit too. It was a pretty good site early on, but the wheels just kind-of fell off. Not sure what really happened..?

Blackbird. He started out as Big Wheel and later changed his name.

I would have recognized you for that honor but you yelled at me to get off your lawn. You're mean.

 

[Deleted member 5551]

Yep, still here.

Are you *still* on my lawn?

 

[Marley's Ghost]

I'm in. Just passed 11 years.

Mike N, where's your pumping pistons? Maybe the longest running avatar here?

And who are these young whippersnappers on the lawn?

 

[Marley's Ghost]

P. Aaron, nice to see you are still fighting the good fight. Hang in there brother.

 

[Benjamin Strange]

I must admit that I've Fuqua'd a time or two.

 

[Brad Johnson]

TB before 2002? Phssst, if you haven't been a member of alt.guitar.bass and argued with Peter Duncan about the merits of composite necks, you are a noooooob.

The stuff of legends. And it wasn't just merits, it was the complete and overwhelming superiority.


So when he went on a Fender and then Sadowsky buying binge, with similar rants..

 

[Brad Johnson]

Don't forget the great Duncan/Brad wars. My personal favorite was the "can you slap on fretless? question. Brad posted a nice cut of himself doing so on a recent recording, and Duncan critiqued the playing negatively, and kept missing when Brad repeatedly told him he played what he was asked play.

I still don't post clips because of that.
PD and I had too many weird encounters to count. That could only happen on an unmoderated board like alt.guitars.bass

Apparently I wasn't "serving the song" by playing the bassline as written by the guy who was paying me.


Trivia: I was slapping on my Carvin LB75 fretless.

Good seeing the old timers in this thread. I was on TBL, AGB, Fender forum and the Dude pit too.

It's in the shop for a tune up and oil change. Should be back this weekend.
