Grangur Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was getting fed up of Talkbass and I googled "bass forum"... and now I'm glued here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Its all Dood's fault that im here, if I remember correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Like Dood and others, been here since the early days of Bassworld. Life would be weird without it after all this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Rich bought my SWR Triad cab when I lived in Plymouth and recommended I check out Bassworld. The remaining 10 years have been a blur. But Rich also recommended I get an Akai SB1 when they were still 90 quid. So not all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Another bassworld refugee here though I didn't post much, must have been there for maybe the last couple of years before it folded. I have no idea how I found the original bassworld, may have been googling for something bassy for sale secondhand. Would be interested if someone can post the dates of which site was active from when, I lose track how long I've been in here looking for the exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was looking to sell my vintage EBO and somehow found BC. Sold it to a non BCer but got a lot of support/recommendations from members and have been in ever since with hardly a browsless day going by. Not so sure about TB BG side, which doesn't seem to me universally loved here, but I find the DB side very good with some top musicians and erudite* posters.

Clarky Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Ignoring my earlier quip, I actually joined in April 2008 to sell a Fender P (no change there, then) and as - having investigated - it looked like a cool forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird13 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The joke is that I've all but given up playing bass but I still hang around here - go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Came here looking for advice about what bass to buy (after a 10 year hiatus of not owning one). Got some great feedback. Bought a pedal from someone in the marketplace. Was told to learn notation by Bilbo (who isn't? ). Found everyone to be a very friendly and genuine bunch... and that was that. Me = happily hooked!

FlatEric Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 As a collector, I came looking for info about a rare bass - I found one on here. . . . belonged originally to. . . . . . RhysP!! Been here ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Since Bassworld but I don't remember how I got there. I guess I was googling something bass related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestar Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was on bassworld when it was still in black & white. Cant remember how i stumbled onto it. Probably googling something bassy. Aah nostalgia isnt what it used to be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodaxe Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Another one that followed the Bassworld>>Basstalk>>Basschat route. Can't for the life of me remember what I was looking for when I stumbled across BW. Either info on old Arias or lightweight rigs, but I'm guessing. P.

simon1964 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I've also been here since Bassworld days. To be honest, I can't remember how I found Bassworld as it's so long ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Found bassworld via a google search for bass+forum. Lurked there on and off for a couple of years then it disappeared (i still don't know why). Tried Talkbass for a while, but never really got on with it, then googled bass+forum+uk and up pops basschat. When I realised it was the old guys under a new moniker It made my day. Still don't say much, but I love it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 [quote name='paul h' timestamp='1371134311' post='2110274'] I've been here since Bassworld.

ezbass Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I really don't remember the specifics, but I recall I was fed up with the pervading attitude on TB. I visited both for a good while, but then became BC centric. I look at TB occasionally, but BC is my main daily forum squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
