jmrunning3 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Did you know actor Gary Sinise is a bass player? I was watching the news this morning, and they had video of him and his band playing for veterans families at Tinker AFB in OKC yesterday. I'm not certain but it looked like he was playing a Warwick Corvette 4-string. -- Joe -- "If you think you're too old, then you are." --Lemmy Kilmister "I have not seen a man who is not god already." --Austin Osman Spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbass46 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 One of the episodes of "CSI NY" I happened to catch ended with him "relaxing" in a jazz bar after work playing bass at a jam session or something. I thought he looked like he knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 His band is called The Lt. Dan band. I think it's a 10 or 11 piece band. The lead guitar/vocalist is Kimo Williams, a tremendous classical composer from Chicago (I used to sell/work on his MIDI stuff). "For instance" is not proof.

ZZ Thorn Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 He's from Chicago, so I've heard about it for a while. My understanding is he's actually very serious about playing the bass and quite bad. Never heard him play, tho. He really hits the "break" well on his tv voice overs for Ford's ad campaign - "Cadillac: Break through." http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Capasso Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 There was a Memorial Day Concert that his band played. It was on PBS, and I recorded it, but haven't watched it yet. The episode of CSI included a guy being beaten by holding a headless bass by the body and jamming the nut into the victim's neck. Just the sort of image I want to show my band to "encourage" respect. And I'll bet he changes his socks for each performance! Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

jmrunning3 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 ..well at least they weren't hitting the bass against something that would damage it.

Mike Bear Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 That's right Tom,... they go through this whole thing on CSI bout how it would or would not have been used as a weapon because of the finger prints being in irregular places for playing.

dreibel Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 here's a link to a review and synopsis of the CSI:NY episode "Stuck On You" , which features the "murder by bass" and the revelation about just what Mac Taylor (Sinise) does after work. (They just reran it last Wednesday). "I used to be "with it", but then they changed what "it" was! Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what is "it" is weird and scary to me. IT'LL HAPPEN TO YOU!" - Grampa Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
