Hi guys I think it happened yesterday - we had our two millionth post. I'll see if I can find it.... Just a quick thank you to everyone who calls BC home - keep posting and here's to millions more. As you know we're introducing a little competition where we'll give away increasingly decent prizes to posters who are especially useful, funny or thoughtful. You can read more about it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209788-bcs-giveaway/page__fromsearch__1"]here[/url] - the prizes are getting better and we have some actually fairly keepable things to give away soon. Keep on keeping on! Cheers ped (P.S the number of posts does not include the potentially hundreds of thousands from Bassworld (2002 - 2008ish) and Basstalk (2008 to about mid 2008, lol)

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1371556580' post='2115391'] What do you mean? Were you going to have a "No Milty's allowed" stapled to the clubhouse door? [/quote] Maybe the other forums already exist and this whole thread is just a diversionary tactic

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1371551457' post='2115288'] The MusicRadar forum is not bad. It's certainly not full of teenage know-it-alls. And there are some genuine experts there - pedal makers, amp makers, and professional repairers. I'd say its main problem is that it is seriously gas-inducing. [/quote] I'll have to have a look. We were lucky with Basschat because there wasn't an independent bass forum in the UK when we started out with Bassworld V1 (around mid 2002) whereas now the landscape has changed considerably. We think it'll be worth a try, though - especially as the new forums will be populated fairly quickly with multi-instruMENTALISTS from BC.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1371550071' post='2115261'] As a guitar player, and a hopeful drummer in the future, I think it would be great if you could get that to work! I find it hard to find a good forum for guitar players, and GC sounds like it could be a good one! [/quote] Uh oh, I spoke too soon...

[quote name='ingmar808' timestamp='1371548708' post='2115228'] I agree - tdpri.com is the best of the bunch. I thought I was missing something when looking for a UK-based guiar equivalent of Basschat. Seems not... Reckon Guitarchat.co.uk could be a good thing: good luck with it guys. [/quote] Thanks, we're looking at Drumchat.co.uk too. We're working with our developer now and just in the process of getting a rough estimate of the costs. We'd like them all to be a single sign-in so you can sign into any of them and use all three. As many of us play more than one instrument we thought if that's possible, it would be pretty cool. Also we're looking at updating, integrating and centralising the blog across all three sites with filterable content and the possibility for users to post their own blogs in addition to the 'official' BC/GC/DC ones... Exciting times ahead, I can't wait until the school holidays so we can start cracking on it properly!

We're working on Guitarchat.co.uk and should be done by the end of the year!

Very nice Andy, nice bass too. All round, classy.

I just don't think the seller is very clear with the various prices. All the seller needs to do it state, in their advert, what they're looking for. See these randomly picked examples from todays updated threads: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209220-ftfs-fender-jazz-bass-ri75-japan-from-1985with-us-pickups/ http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210165-for-sale-status-kingbass-level-42-30th-anniversary-limited-edition/ http://basschat.co.uk/topic/209525-rim-marseer-custom-6-feeler/ The reason we have to ask for a sale OR trade value is so that the software can see if the item qualifies for payment or not. Otherwise people might list things as for 'trade' for example but receive offers of cash, and vice versa. We could have used the term 'value of item' alternatively but then you'd stil have to state in the text weather it's for trade or for sale.

It's more the case of the software being a f***ing dinosaur, but we do our best!

I'm afraid as Ian has said the system is what it is, and as such the poll is rather redundant. Simply put in the description 'no trades' If you don't want them Cheers

There must be more than these, surely!

[quote name='Wil' timestamp='1371134445' post='2110280'] I was looking for a UK version of Talkbass and found Bassworld, back in the day. Far nicer atmosphere. [/quote] Thanks - that's why we started it, too!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1371134353' post='2110277'] You could do with a "Wasn't recommended by anyone" option for question 3, as if you leave the question blank you get told you haven't finished the poll. [/quote] Knew I'd balls it up, thanks!

Sup I'd be interested to hear how you all found BC. I've made a simple poll to find out some typical responses - if you click 'Other' then please post and say how you found us. Whilst it's interesting from a promotion type of perspective, it's also cool to hear how word spreads about our website so it will be good to hear some responses. BC has never 'advertised' so it's quite cool to hear how you all arrived. Cheers ped

Welcome! Which music shop was it that recommended us? Cheers ped

Hi guys Thanks for the helpful pointers. I'm looking at some potential solutions and those include the VB99 unit which I'd like to try, having been a Vbass user for many years now. That could be my 'all in one' solution, but I'll want to read through the manual first and check it all out as I don't have much dough at the moment. It has to be right! Failing that then a cheapy USB interface and iMovie sounds like a pretty suitable option for just having some fun. Cheers ped

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1370959311' post='2107948'] That's good news, I'll keep saving my pennies up then, maybe I'll be able to afford 2 when they make their return. Matt [/quote] Thanks Matt that's great - will try and sort it ASAP Cheers

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1370954107' post='2107849'] All this talk of lanyards reminded me that i hadn't bought a polo shirt yet, but it seems that the customised ones with the outlines of famous basses have dissapeared from the shop, are they likely to return? (i can understand that one design was likely to have been removed but was hoping for a p-bass one to wear to work) Matt [/quote] Hi Matt Yes they will return, however I'll need to take new pictures and/or adjust the pics I already have, including the payment options etc. That might take a while but it's on my to-do list! Cheers

Re-named the thread from 'ped's giveaway' to 'BC's Giveaway' because it's going to include all of us, not just me Cheers ped Oh and happy Bday guys. I didn't see the cake, where's my piece?
