real name? Joe
age? 16
how long been playing? almost 2 years
origin of user name? Originally in my band, Apnea, I was the bassist, and our ex-vocalist was drummer. I hated all of the music they liked (although the guitarist has acquired much better taste now), so I wanted to remain anonymous in the band, taking the pseudonym The Bassist. Not after long though, we kicked our ex-vocalist off of drums due his lack of skill, and I became drummer, and the name stuck for humor pretty much
