What are your other obsessions?

[Minimalist]

Cycling. Road, MTB, Gravel it's all good. I used to race a rigid Single Speed, but injuries made me get a full suspension bike.

 

[Tim Skaggs]

Bass is about my only obsession, but other things down the list would be; amateur outdoor space carpentry (decks, pool houses), deer hunting, speaker cabinet building / modification, craft beer drinking.

Cycling: I was an elite amateur road racer 2+ decades ago in Washington State, plus have also raced cyclocross and mountain bikes. It's what I was probably born to do, meaning I was born with an ability to process a high volume of oxygen. I'm a lifelong alpine skier and fly fisher. When I retire from my tech career within a year or two at most, my plan is to work part time in a local ski/bike shop.

I'm new to bass, which I picked up at the end of the pandemic. It's a fun and rewarding learning curve, though humbling.

protection dog sports.

no dog is happier than a very high-drive dog that gets to do very high-drive things. it's a hoot.

Mineralogy and mineral photography/photomicrography is a huge passion of mine. Prospecting for mineral deposits, gold panning, mountain biking, hiking, the outdoors all kind of go hand in hand. I was fortunate to have some of my work published in The Mineralogical Record in 2020.

 

[Wanker_Joe]

People are into so many cool things.

Myself outside of music I tend to obsess a bit with 3D Printing and design. Something breaks? Time to break out the CAD program and print it up. So much fun.

 

[Slevage]

Alpine skiing.
Though my knees are aging faster than my fingers.

 

[climber]

mountain biking as well as rock & ice climbing.(me on left...)

 

[prndltech]

Knives

 

[Rumblefisher]

Flashlights (love my HDS) and mountain bikes (Indy Fab)

 

[MIMike]

Not really an obsession (like bass and bass gear is), but I really enjoy bourbon and rye whiskey, and look for things I haven’t had before, and sharing with friends and family.

 

[c5hokie]

Golf. Currently an 8.0 handicap, hoping it get it below 6.0 this year.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

I spent most of my adult life in the wine business. When asked a question, I have learned to say "I'm going to start talking. When you've heard enough, tell me to stop. Or just walk away. You will not hurt my feelings."

 

[Rev_Slinky]

My day (often night) job is being a stage actor. I love words and getting geeky about them. It's also fun to come at performance from a slightly different path than music; you're still crafting the passage of time, but with less drinking and all covers.

Speaking of drinking, I'm also a bartender and enjoy playing with cocktails. I have a few gigs where I get to invent drinks for the menu, and that's always fun.

I also enjoy bikes a lot and take care of a small rental fleet for the theater season here. Wrenching on a bicycle for awhile can be a good way to clear the mind.

 

[Pyrrho Epoche]

Polish punk, bier, Islay Scotch, German automobiles, Brazilian cigars, Italian strings, classic Bossa nova/samba, American Film Noir, Incense making & perfumery, lifting weights, cooking, Amanita muscaria, Invalid Link Removed (contributed to medical journals)

 

[Discount Bassy]

Fighting demons.

 

[Killing Floor]

go Braves

THIS is a man who understands baseball. Go Bravo.

I love the Braves and Hawks and I’m beyond obsessed with Falcons.

I’m also into guitars, road cycling and vinyl.

 

[WI Short Scaler]

Lake Superior, the family cabin, my kayak, and family time. Summer is the best.

 

[DeepHz]

How do you distinguish between your two hobbies of Bass and Bass?

It's complicated

 

[2saddleslab]

Not really an obsession (like bass and bass gear is), but I really enjoy bourbon and rye whiskey, and look for things I haven’t had before, and sharing with friends and family.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention bourbon. As a Kentucky Colonel it's more like a labor of love.
