I come back here every once in a while.
 

It's a really too bad this place went downhill, it used to be such a thriving community. Kudos to those that still stick around, I just find it to be such a shame that some posts on the front page are from May, when the first 3 pages used to be riddled with posts from "Today".

I saw Myung and :amaze: do a couple threads about popping back in here, thought I'd do the same & give a shoutout to those who have been here from the beginning (my original User was Bass_guy33, got banned for some reason). The bass comps, the slap comps, the bass awards...

Anyways. I don't actually play bass that much anymore, but I did a Mark King cover not too long ago out of boredom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95a6tHrGSfU Scope it out if ya like.

Cheers boys, all the best.

I find it sad but wonder where most of the people went too... I will be with these forums until the day it dies for good. I don't post much in the bass forum anymore but I've been playing quite a bit this summer. I get spurty but I graduated college with a business management degree and Audio Recording Engineering. It's good to see you back.

Welcome back, even though I do not know you really!

I am a new user on this forum but it's been great. I will definitely help keep it alive!

Weird, I also went to school for Audio Engineering. I now do FOH for some pretty big bands in Canada, and some in studio work.

Understanding In a Crash, what was your original username?

This has always been my original username lol. Yeah I'm trying to do post-production for movie sound and also studio work for bands. I also enjoy doing live sound for venues as well.

i'm always lurking, but rarely find anything worth saying these days. i've gone through a lot of shit in my life since the winter, and haven't touched my bass for more than a few minutes at a time since February.

I remember both of you guys. Hopefully someday these forums can be ressurrected...

Holy crap, I haven't been here in forever. Just decided to browse this forum for the first time in a couple years and this thread was on the first page.

I definitely remember you, Bass_guy333. The bass comps were an absolute blast.

These days I lurk/post at Talkbass. I occasionally take lessons with Adam Neely, who used to post here a ton.

what's Adam up to these days?

I think he went to Berklee but am not positive. He's still rocking an Ibanez and seems to be doing quite well for himself. He's grown to be a very, very expressive player and has a great mix of technique, theory, and groove while playing. Definitely leaps and bounds above what he was doing in the early '00s when we were all hanging around here.

I have to confess that I spent the last hour reading my post history way back to 2004. I was a very, very dumb and naïve high school kid back in those days. I'd like to hope that I have matured in the time since MXtabs died and I am very sorry for all the posters who had to put up with my dumb brat self.

i miss the old mxtabs.net, but I stop in about once a year

good to hear your making a living in the music industry in canada :thumb: i figured you would.

old school thread is old school

I am only posting so you can all have something to look at.

There's a lot of us still lurking around, just nothing really happening anymore

lol gav points

D00d, I wished I had more gav points. I only ever got 1. Sad days indeed.

Haha, yeah that's how log its actually been since i've even logged in to post, is Gav still on here, or even post on occasion?

no, I think Gav disappeared after his accidental almost-suicide and the subsequent ridiculing that followed it.

:lol:

Didn't he claim to have cut his wrist quite badly on a doorknob after tripping and falling into it?

I thought it was a knife? I kind of missed that whole thing though! Anyone got the thread? I'm too lazy to search :p

What the hell was gav's username?

EDIT: Found the thread (by pure fucking luck)

I seem to recall he accidentally slit his wrist trying to cut a bottle to make a bong. :lol:

Oh wow, i actually do remember that, just totally slipped my mind

I just realized I still remembered my password for this site... It's been almost 4 years :p

Dude, didn't I just see you over at TalkBass?

Hey Bass_guy33! I definitely remember you.

I look around here every few months.

Wow, Bass_guy. I haven't been here in a long time either, over a year I think. I am a regular poster on Talkbass, but I gradually fell away from posting here. What bands are you working with in Canada?

lowsound

OH WOW! That is an old picture, that was taken the day I got my dreads and I haven't had them in over three years now.

lowsound

I always wanted dreads.

You need hair, first.

I'm working on it.

In a few years, I'll be awesome:

This thread makes me feel old.

This is a sad, nostalgic thread. I used to come around here a lot but the last time was like a year ago.

I still play bass sometimes but can't say I'm getting any better at it. Now I spend more time taking photos, which is my new hobby and doesn't hurt my ears as much (suffering from tinnitus now)

And why not....I should make my 5000th post in here.

Tinnitus? That sucks. Was it the bass playing that caused it, or just a very loud non-bass environment (like working on jet engines without hearing protection)?

No idea....I do think it was playing too much with loud bands but I especially blame my ipod. Cranking up RHCP every morning while I jogged can't be good.

fuck this. post mario tabs.

I actually found bass_guy's mario tabs if anyone wants them. That is if I can now find them on my computer.

I have them on my external, but it's not plugged in right now. D:
