Was thinking of some basschat members that used to contribute to the forum lots but just seemed to disappeared and I often wonder if they are OK and what they are doing 

Anyone else think about this or just me?

No, you are not alone.

 

@Christine@josie for instance have sort of disappeared.

 

I wonder what happened.

[Cato]

I like to think that they've transcended* to a higher level of bass playing, one where they are no longer concerned with mundane matters such as GAS or fingers vs pick or which bass is best for metal.

 

 

*transcended in Budhist/karmic way...not dead.

Maybe they just got tired of our sh*t

 

For whatever the reason I hope they're happy, healthy and still playing Bass. 

[Steve Browning]

Mind you, there are others whom I (personally) don't miss in the slightest.

I wonder what became of @OutToPlayJazz and @icastle. Just 2 I can think of off the top of my head. But I suppose some people just get fed up and move on.

 

OTPJ was a great source of wisdom.

I think there is a story as far as icastle is concerned. I just can't remember what it is 😬. There may have been a falling out.

I used to like him and always thought his moderation was fair

I messaged Josie last year. She’s ok, just doing different things.

[neepheid]

It's easily done. I disappeared for a while - sold a lot of my basses because things were tight and just went off bass a bit, not enough to stop playing but enough to stop spouting crap on here about it

 

[Old Horse Murphy]

I'm sure I recall  Outtoplayjazz left under a bit of a cloud. I could be mistaken though. 

[Clarky]

I also quit for a few years for my own reasons (which I won't go into). But obviously I had to return at some point so I could resume losing money on buying and selling basses.

Welcome to my world!

[Rumple]

A couple that come to mind are nugget who made my 5 string for me & Discreet who sold me then bought back his 76 P bass, he lived locally at the time.

[Reggaebass]

I was a long time lurker for about 5 years before I joined , and there was definitely some bad characters around then, imo it’s a nice place now and I think it’s down to the moderators doing such a great job, my ignore list is very small now 😁

[Clarky]

@discreetwas always entertaining and also a fine bassist (I saw him play live with Pigbag maybe 10 years ago). I recall he did occasionally take breaks from BC and this may be another of those

Who said that? 😳

[Thunderbird]

Yes descreet is a great bloke and pretty funny too

I always wonder if shergoldsnickers is OK as I know he had some problems but just vanished

It was the Precision he played 'Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag' on that he sold me, a song I still love.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

A whole page and no mention of @BigBeefChief !

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

….not that he could comment if he wanted to of course 😬

[Bassassin]

I liked Beefy. Why'd he get banned, again?

I don’t know the gory details, but he was outspoken and I guess advice wasn’t heeded. Some of his stuff was funny though.

@xilddx  @Tinman @Mrs Tinman

@OutToPlayJazz @ShergoldSnickers @discreet @Zoe_BillySheehan  @Josh

@jakenewmanbass

 

 

Of course there was @OldGit, who will always be missed.

 

I seem to recall their being someone called The Butler who was in a band called Midas Fall, bought their first album which was very impressive.  

 

There was The Funk (?). 

 

@discreet is one of the funniest people I know.  I don't think I've met anyone else who's got a euphemism for almost everything. 

 

I'm probably in a small minority of the people, who've been here long enough to remember Beefy,  who found him to be a complete derrière.
