Happy Bday martin!

(forgive me of my n00bness) why is Mendez
referred to as 'bassplayer'? Was it some sort of in-joke I inevitably missed?

Some bassist tend to be made fun of because people think they have the easiest job in the band. Sometimes my band refers to me as "fucking bassist" and just throws little jabs at me.

Anyway happy birthday to one of my biggest inspirations!

I always figured that it came about from the D/D docu when Martin said something to the effect of "I just Bassplayer", like in one short phrase. It probably isn't though.
 
^I think that was in an interview with Per and Martin, not on the D/D documentary iirc...I'm not sure if it's the source of the nickname though.
