My screen name is my nickname that I also used as alias when I played under rather semi-professional circumstances way back in the '80s (when I was young and an ALEMBIC was far out of reach...)

Christian (the faker)

I like Frank's name. My name is unimaginative and was the creature of just one moment. I have no recollection whatever what 10096 meant. Sadly, I use it many places now.

Bill

Jacko has been my nickname since I was about 8 or 9. Short for Jackson. I guess my school mates weren't very imaginative. Nowadays most bass-cognoscenti think I have delusions of grandeur;-)

Mine is from the fact I use a Crown Macro-Tech 2400 power amp for my rig, and I am man! 2000 watts of power so I can hear myself in the loudest band I will probably ever be in! To the rest of the world I am Adam.

Mine is from my initials:

F Michael Miller

Can't say.

Mine is pretty obvious....

Let me guess. You were born below the Mason-Dixon line and have large hands? :-)

I would like to think that my bass lines are more creative than my naming skills. I started with richbass on another online thingee. It was already taken so I added part of my address. I used the same username when I joined this club.
I know. Another boring name. I really do enjoy the way some of you put your personalities into your names, though.

My user name slawie is precisely that - my name. I have been on this planet for over 46 years and in all that time I have never come across another Slawie. I dont even have to use a second (surname)name kind of like Sting, Madonna, etc. I use lower case 'cos I'm humble.

I have a two parter. First, it's the name of an unreleased Radiohead song, or part of the name. the whole thing is Big Ideas (Don't Get Any). Thom Yorke explains that it basically sums up what the fine print on most mortgage and other loan contracts spell out. Secondly, I'm just full of ideas.. usually fruitless ones.. but a lot of them. And a lot of these ideas revolve around musical instruments.

i'd like to say it's lowercase because i'm humble or quiet, but it's really because i'm lazy.

811952 - It's the serial number of my Series 1.5, sans the USA stamped at the end (or is it the beginning? I'll have to remember to look sometime). Not very creative, but fairly obvious. Kind of on the order of you don't play very well, but your tone sucks...

Other places I tend to use scarysharkface, only because it was written on a box within view when I signed up for another forum somewhere. Scaryfatbutt would probably be more accurate...

I have used Glenopf K. Kenofee at times as well...

My first name is Howard, But my friend's have always call me (Howierd) which is really spelled Howeird. I tried to use it as a user name on another site but was taken so I have stuck the odd spelling... I guess it is fitting because maybe I am odd and wierd.
