Worlds Fattest Bassist

Yet you still took the time to respond?
Why don't you get off you high horse and lighten up a little?
Pun intended?
HA! Actually no, but we can pretend it was.
I should have noticed that, guess I need more coffee!

Mammogram is down but I'm working manually
Everyone has thread options:
* Ignore thread, move on
* Have your own opinion and state it
What I don't like:
* Insulting OP
Your opinion was fine until the "OP- get some help, get a life" part. Not cool.
....and now back to your regularly scheduled fat bassist thread.

5'8" and 300+ pounds.
Maybe not as weighty as those guys on the first page; but if you shrunk em down we'd probably be on par with each other weight/height wise.

I'm 5' 10" and 195. I could really stand to lose 40lbs and i'd be much healthier. I just love drinking Pepsi too much! That's my one vice and that keeps the weight on.
it seems the guy from Carpathian Forest is in the running. and there isn't enough swimwear in black metal
EDIT image removed. i'll try and find a better one
DOUBLE EDIT i'm not sure this is 'better' in the positive sense of the word, but still
So wrong on so many levels. Any black metal players/listeners would be ashamed... I mean UNDERWEAR?! REALLY?! A black metal band?!
5'10" and 155 lbs. Do I win?
Both of you...
I don't think this is cruel at all. Those bassist mentioned **CHOOSE** to live their lives as they do, including being overweight by a significant amount. With all of the resources available today (a variety of support programs, diets, diet info, etc.), it is the same as smoking - we know it's' bad, but we continue to do it anyway. I lost >70 lb myself, and while it is not easy to do (mentally), it is probably the easiest thing in the world. Step 1: Eat less. Step 2: Exercise more.
IF they wanted to, any one of these guys could drop 80+ lb in a year. A good diet and some hard exercise (starting appropriately, of course), and I'd guarantee a loss. I'd put an entire years salary on it.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but here's the bass as it is today in living color:
WOW! I just had to dig Champagne Jam out of the records again, what a score. I bet it sounds as amazing now as it ever did.

You must be one naturally skinny dude. I'm 5'11" and the last time I was down at a wee 195, I was pretty skinny. Even just after high school when I was skinny and just reached my adult height, I still weighed 185 then...
Hah, 5'11, 160ish. I wouldn't exactly call myself skinny but 195 at my height is a pretty big dude if you ask me.
