Mystery bassist - SOLVED!

[fumps]

Wayne this is classic
I actually threw the exact same copy away a week ago & I was In stitches over that very same picture.

[thisnameistaken]

Anyone know what the print is on that T-shirt? Doesn't look like a Level 42 shirt but I am struggling to understand how it could be anything else.

Looks like his jeans were too big, or was the style in the 90s? I don't know I was 3 when this was taken..

That style was prevalent, back then. [url="http://www.barnorama.com/wp-content/images/2012/03/Kris%20Kross%20Then%20and%20Now/01-Kris%20Kross%20Then%20and%20Now.jpg"]I blame this lot![/url]

Duran Duran??

There's so much going on in that picture, but the overriding impression I'm getting is that that is some top lunging for a conservatory...

[steve-bbb]

There must be a limited number of folks will know the answer to that (without the aid of Google) and I'm one of them... NO!

I had one of those for half a day. If you didn't slap all they did was at some extra hiss to your tone.

[jjay69]

Yep thats a Bright Box, a guy round our way had one, they were all the rage if you liked your hiss ... hissy !

Lets be honest if he is on here the chances of hi owning up now are diminishing by the post.

He must have been a Kajagoogoo fan !

[Oopsdabassist]

I have his waistcoat! wore it Sat night as it happens! its not me though.

There are multiple fashion crimes in this picture. They are so bad I can't even prioritise them

[seashell]

I'm guessing the poor bloke was co-erced into striking that pose by the photographer. Then when he saw it he wasn't too happy and asked for his name not to be printed in the mag.

I bet we've all committed fashion crimes in the past! You should see my curly perm and huge white-framed spectacles combination!

[RandomBass]

I wonder if BGM will start doing this type of regular article? Only thing is the picture will be on the wrong page. And the article on another. The names will be incorrect of course, and the whole thing will be replaced by a Fender acoustic bass review every now and again.

Maybe we should do it here instead...?

I was 45 when it was taken but it still feels like my lost youth.

Oh god, tell me about it!

Here's me in Wales at 18 with my guitar, afghan, self embroidered bell-bottoms and a Flying Teapot-carrying friend The photo was augmented with paint by a fellow sixth form art student. We listened to a lot of Gong and consumed a goodly number of local flora of the genus [i]Psilocybe semilanceata [/i]
