A lot of the 'high numbers' posters seem to fall into one of two categories.

1. Middle-aged men who take themselves very seriously.
2. Middle-aged men who think they are comedians.

Eeek! Thanks for that reality check man.... I certainly don't take myself very seriously, but nor do I think I am a comedian... do I have a high post score? I'm confused now. And depressed.

Am I really "middle aged"? Christ - I am! How did that happen?

Oi! I'm not bloody middle aged, funny or serious! Got quite a high post count though

This is a great forum, love it.

1. Middle-aged men who think others take them seriously.
2. Middle-aged men who are frustrated comedians.

For me, the most entertaining part of Basschat is the interactions between these two tribes.

I’ve only been on here are few weeks, but I immediately found it to be a very friendly and helpful forum. Almost straight away I mentioned to someone that ‘these bass players are a very friendly bunch!” I’ve already bought a couple of things from members, including my first bass, and had great experiences. I must confess that in an idle moment I clicked on a few ‘feedback’ threads, just to see if there are any monsters on here, but it got a bit boring after a while reading, “Great geezer – excellent comms, prompt payment – deal with confidence - blah blah blah”. Of course, the only people I neglected to check out were the ones I’ve dealt with, but they’ve also been deserving of glowing comments. I won’t give up my guitar, but I’d echo the thought that perhaps the nicer people are drawn toward playing bass!

Phew, thank God I don't take myself very seriously. [size=4] You missed out a category, too:[/size]

............. and only took it up as an alternative to buying a Harley when they hit 40?

Hmm, middle-aged man yes. I don`t think anyone takes me seriously though, nor do I think I`m a comedian, am aware of my limitations. So think there needs to be another category:

Middle-aged man with no aspirations to be anything other.

So you've achieved your goal - well done!

...Wait, does that post make me a frustrated comedian..? Worried, now.
