Agreed. If it wasn't for him this place may not exist.

No doubt about it. Some of us here knew each other (and Steve) from the FDP and even back to the old TBL mailing list, but it wasn't until the Pit that we had a Gibson forum, and that morphed into a separate forum-within-a-forum. Steve gradually came to dislike that -- he wanted the Gibson forum to stay on the topic of Gibson instead of becoming another Moe's Tavern -- but that's another story. In any case, the Outpost exists because a core of Gibson forum posters from the Pit still wanted to hang out together after the Pit went down.

This place quickly became my home online for any music/bass related discussion. Great hosts, great company, and sometimes we even have intelligent discussions!

When I saw the thread title, I thought "uh oh, I hope he didn't die".
Yep, me too. Looks like he has nothing to do with bass guitars any more and is back to real estate.

I knew him from the TBL days. He was always helpful. I never understood how such a passion vanishes.

Wow, what a run-on resume.  Don't think much of it passes the smell test.  I finally scrolled down to the end after fighting off some wrist cramps and saw he graduated from Monroe Community College.  Oh my, I think he might be a Rochester native!

I do agree, I wouldn't be here with this great bunch of bassnuts if I hadn't have found Dave and Uwe at the Pit (an appropriate name if there ever was one for a forum with an inordinate number of flamers and misfits).  I wish him well in whatever endeavors he tackles.  Life is good now.

I'm Barr-free.  I was unduly influenced to come here by the Hon. Dr. Bassman.

I must admit, I found this place recently, but was a pitter back in the day...
Mark turned me onto it from a post over on Talkbass. 

I always wondered where all of you guys went! :)

Interesting to see Steve is still out there doing his thing.

We have a talk radio station in London that tried to ban Colin's from talking on it... ;)
