What does your username mean?

[Stifflip]

I blatantly ripped off my username from a AC/DC song. Although it's stiff upper lip, but it doesn't flow as well as Stifflip.

 

[Demonator]

Mine is from the model name of my first bass, my Dean Demonator.

 

[pbd]

its my wifes initials, this used to be her account but she got flamed a few to many times and doesn't write here anymore

Todd

 

[PJMiDi]

I'll break it down....P J MiDi

That is all

 

[jasethebass]

First name Jason, Jase for short and I play bass (yes really)!

 

[uglyrumor]

I have always loved music, but once I heard the Grateful Dead, that became the benchmark by which all other music was judged. The "Mars Hotel" album had an unusual design at the top, and on a whim I held the cover to a mirror. The words that appear are "Ugly Rumors". I have used that or a variation thereof in almost every forum I have joined. Phil Lesh, in my opinion, is still the most creative bass player I know of, not for what he does, or how he does it, but for how he thinks. There are flashier players, but musically he still blows me away.

 

[Commreman]

I own a commercial real estate company, so i invented my own superhero -

Commreman!!!

 

[Dubista]

Well, there's a band in the Philippines called Urbandub and fans are called Dubista's...

however, it could also mean I like Reggae and Dub music.

 

[talkbassbass]

well its obvious with mine... i couldnt think of a name that i would remember!

 

[Jon Moody]

My nickname in my old band was "Monkey," because out of all of us, I was the most lively on stage. When I left, there was a lot of bad blood between me and the others (in hindsight, it was a lack of communication, mainly on my end). When I was explaining the situation to a good friend, he said "Oh Jon, you're one bad monkey, aren't you?"

It sounded cool.

 

[Bassmastertim]

I like fishin.

 

[anthowl]

Ant Howl is my post hardcore solo project.

 

[bill_banwell]

At the time i signed up.. a fair few years ago now! i was really into the Red hot chili peppers, so i kind of mixed it into my name with bassist.. it works i think!

 

[lposavad]

First initial, last name.
Thrilling, eh?

 

[irishryno]

I am Irish. When I was a radio dj people called me Ryno, instead of Ryan, which is my name.

 

[Frettage]

My name is based on "frottage (noun): An erotic act involving rubbing parts of the body against someone else's for sexual stimulation."

And, of course, frets. Pronounced "fret-ahj" with a soft g.

 

[Hippos Melas]

Mine's one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. It's the black horse of famine, the third one that is called forth. Sounded sweet to me.

 

[boomtisk]

I've seen "boom tisk" used as an onomatopoeia for a drum beat and thought it was funny. I'm not really a drummer, but I enjoy dabbling with the drums and writing/programming beats so it's kind of fitting after all, I guess. There are worse screen names I suppose. My previous screenname is in my sig -- not sure what I was thinking when I came up with that one.

 

[Engine207]

Mine is pretty obvious. I'm a fireman, and I've been at Engine207 since 1999. I use variations of it all over. Before that, I used to use Ladder214. If I ever get a different assignment, my world will turn upside down.

 

[Rockmusician]

I think mine is self explanatory.
