wateroftyne Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Hi all I've been having a clear out, and I've found a stash of Bassist mags from the mid-to-late 90s. It's been a hoot reading through them - one review describes a fairly monstrous GK head as 'small' - presumably because it's only 2U high. Anyway.. each issue usually contained a [i]'My bass rig is...'[/i] column, in which a reader discusses their gear. For some reason, one particular issue - June '97 - doesn't mention the poor subject's name anywhere in the feature. Even the contents page refers to him as 'A Bassist reader'. I'm wondering whether they literally couldn't find his name and had to go to press without it. Here's his pic. Is this you? Do you know him? Let's give a bass brother the recognition he's deserved for the last 15 years.. we can do this!

Myke Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's not a bass collection is it? No fret makers and something on the truss cover, just my luck to fall for one after seeking my last one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MoJo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Yep....Bass Collection. Was Basschat around in '97? I've been a BC'er since it stopped being Bassworld. Don't think it's been around that long Edited February 20, 2013 by MoJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Christ, I remember that issue & especially that article. Quite a Trace rig, but over the top for most gigs. We must find this guy. Thanks for posting. It's not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Was 1997 15 years ago? I can't remember what I was doing in 1997! I don't think that's me although I did have a pair of baggy jeans with turnups but that was in 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've been feeling like I'm getting old recently anyway (I'm nearing 30 and starting to remember things that I was doing 20 years ago), things like this isn't helping!!!

lurksalot Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1361397526' post='1985498'] I like his tobacco burst bass, waistcoat and glasses!

icastle Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Certainly not me. I [b]can[/b] give you one clue though. If you look at the top of his head you can see that his conservatory electrics are missing an earth connection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I remember that issue as I had the 4-string version of that bass and had just bought an SMX combo at the time. If I remember correctly the caption for the photo was "one man and his bass step out" however I don't know who it is. I had every one of the magazines but gave them away as they were just gathering dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
