chris_b Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was on it for about 6 months in 2007. An acquired taste, that I never acquired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It could have been a good forum. The technical threads and advice were good, there was good stuff on self build cabs for example. All of that got drowned out by most of the rest of it being plain stupid. It often struck me that many contributors probably spent too much time on the internet with their trousers and undies keeping their ankles warms. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was on there when it kicked off, and met Steve the owner at a bash and he was a thoroughly nice bloke. He had a fabulous dog too, and Spike ( as was the dog's name ) was a moderator. Shame it's gone... IMO natch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Some folks here would give you an altogether different opinion of the owner... there was some proper unpleasantness back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he barred from Basschat? A lot of threads on Finnbass occupied themselves with what was going on on Basschat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined sometime after it’s inception. And it was clear that the there were a core of contributors who were pretty disparaging about BC, most of whom had been barred. However, like Marvin’s first paragraph, I found a lot of great advice, some “extra mile” kindness, and a lot of laughs. I’m glad I missed all the nastiness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 That's a shame. I was still on it - it had rather petered out though. A few years a go it was thriving. Went for a drink with Steve a little while back when I was holidaying in Cornwall - nice chap. I was too new to Basschat to know about the fight that caused Finnbass to come into being, there were occasional references to it but I never found the full details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed there's always opposite views on everything. But opinions........ you know what they say about them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cos I wouldn't know about it, whereas now it's gone, I do. Ironic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Binface gone? 😲 In fairness I'd completely forgotten it existed for at least the last ten years. Would appear I wasn't alone, which may be peripherally connected to its demise. Edited December 15, 2021 by Bassassin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 28 minutes ago, lemmywinks said: Never knew what the original fallout was about so now BC has officially won can someone spill the dirt please? A couple of people were banned from Basschat years and years ago - I can't really remember why but it was all a storm in a teacup I think which got blown out of all proportion... so the guy went and set up Finnbass which I was told would steal all of our active membership within a year. It didn't, and seemed to me to be a place built initially for people to go and complain about Basschat (I was banned for some reason, I think I signed dup to defend myself against a totally untrue accusation) It was a really useful place for us actually because every time someone kicked off or disagreed we would be able to say 'hey, join Finnbass, you'd like it' - and they did for a short while. But once the anger had died down there was little else left, with one or two members in particular really flogging a dead horse to try and.. well, I don't know what. I didn't have a problem with the founder (we spoke about his beautiful staffie Spike a few times) but it was interesting to read some of the perspectives and views held by the members about us. We probably learned a few things along the way. It's a shame it's gone; I thought the owner was moving to a new forum system to cater for a wider range of equipment but maybe not. All water under the bridge for me, anyway. Coming next - Bassworld - Basstalk - Basschat - the FBI Files ped 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I was reasonably active on there til around 2015/16 I think. There was a small selection of about 15-20 regular members who were very knowledgeable, funny and interesting to talk to but there were a lot of threads which got a little derogatory about BC... Still talk to a few of the guys, and indeed it was Finnbass which started my love affair with both ACG and Zoot. Whilst the demise is a shame it's not really been doing anything for a number of years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Really enjoyed it. Didn't take itself at all seriously, self moderating and meet several guys through it that I am friends with to this day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
