What does your username mean?

[Road-Dog]

I am an avid motorcyclist and have spent so much time on the road doing long distance trips that my buddies in the club I was in back in the 1980's gave me the name and I have used it since.

 

[Not That Good]

... Pretty straight forward.

 

[TheAngryPocket]

Mine was from my band from '99-'02, before we got signed. It was to denote that our music was angry, but always tight and "in the pocket". Also, it denoted that we were "hungry" in the music scene and wanted to make this a successful career, like our "pockets" were "angry/ hungry" for money. Unfortunately, it disbanded due to stupid things, but it really helped me propel/ hone my skills as a bassist.

P.S. It's a bummer to see what the Urban Dictionary sees it as.

 

[iriegnome]

IrieGnome -
Irie - Pacific Island for "Cool"
Gnome - Board Gnome actually. The little crazy guy responsible for that ever present hiss of that 60 cycle hum from PA boards..
Had the name since 1988 or so.

 

[Marial]

Mine just means I'm married. My wife and I combined our last names and created a new one.

 

[Freight Train]

Nickname given to me by a bar owner in 1972. Said my bass playing sounded like a freight train thundering through the bar.

 

[Bassamatic]

The BEST BIT EVER on Saturday Night Live (With Dan Akroyd back in the days when it was funny) has "BASS" in the name!

How perfect. Had to change the spelling a little.

This is the most interesting thread ever. What a community!

 

[Garret Graves]

Mine is a 'mirror' reflection of bass, though I suppose ssadbass is more accurate. I'm not sad though

If you're a fan, I'm sure you're already aware, but... They're making a Deadpool movie, I'm interested to see where they go with it...

I adopted fivestringgecko at the same time I was building my Warmoth Gecko 5-string, seen in my avatar and below! Been using both for a while now.

[Kmonk]

I played in a band with a drummer who was a fan of Thelonious Monk. My first name is Kevin and the drummer started calling me Kevonious Monk. Then Kevonious and finally Kmonk. The nickname has stuck for 10 years now. Even my son calls me Kmonk.

 

[Swipter]

I got mine from when I first started video gaming many years ago. It has kind of stuck. I got it from 'swipe.'

Pretty stupid.

 

[BassLand]

BassLand- I started a website 18 years ago and wanted to have the domain name bassman, which was already taken even back then. I tried BobLee.*** but it was also taken. I settled for BassLand as it contained my initials BL My Website is BassLand.net and features the preeminent webiste on Motown Bassist James Jamerson.
