Mine came from when I first started getting into guitars. I joined a forum with the username stevestrat, my first name is Steve and I'm into Fender Stratocasters or Strats and it kinda stuck, my guitar work "business" is even Steve's Strats.

Mine comes from .org... but it's origins are loosely related to the name on my birth certificate

Mine is from the first forum I ever joined which was the ford galaxy owners club.

My Galaxy was a diesel with the Vag group TDi engine, and it was 90bhp

bassman......One day on a fishing excursion.....3 of us discovered we could catch bass, fishing off a beach next to Torness (Nuclear) Power Station....

We then discovered(even before the Dunbar boys did), that fishing in the warm water outlet of the Power Station(gushing out at a rate of something silly like 2 million gallons a minute) we could catch even more bass....We found various outlets in the Newcastle region who were willing to pay £3 a lb for our fish.....sometimes upto £400 a time, 3 or 4 times a week...but some of them required receipts for their money, so I signed them bob the bassman...It was such a good time I carried the name onto a lot of forums....

The guy I fished with was brilliant(caught a lot more than me) invented his own mold for putting a designated/varied weight on the lure that made it dive in the water(wriggling its tail).....we called it a leadhead(and caught £1000's worth with it)..........which is also my name on other forums.....

Wow.....brings back happy memories......Sadly the fish arent as prolific now, and the Dunbar boys got a bit jealous and started burning cars.....

I was just about to PM you the story when I realised it should be Dunbar, not Dundee

Sorry to all those in and around Dundee.

I will change it in my post...
