Oddly Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Greetings, folks. I'll start by admitting I spent most of my online bass-forum time over on TalkBass, where I can amuse myself poking fun at whatever nonsense is currently exercising the hive mind. Anyways, one of my little projects that proved popular over there is a map, showing member locations (as approximate as anyone is comfortable with, obviously). Given that there's far too many Americans represented, I thought I might try and balance things out by letting folks here add themselves. Just open the map, hit the ADDITIONS tab, then ADD MARKER, and, well, you're all intelligent enough to work it out from there, I'm sure. Here's the link... https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=2931050 Edited September 18, 2022 by Oddly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Great response so far, folks, thank you. I should mention that it may seem like there's only one pin on the map in more populated areas (London, say, or BIrmingham...not Shropshire, obviously😁). If you click on the pin the top entry should show there's '1 of 5' or whatever. You can edit address to move away from the crowd. Also, I've noticed a couple of people with multiple entries, probably due to being so keen to represent their area. I'd forgotten to mention I have to approve entries (had a bad experience a while back with some childish clown posting multiple entries all over the place and even editing valid entries) so there may be a delay in your entry showing up. Sorry about that. Keep 'em coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Done mine, just waiting for it to be approved / show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I got quite excited to see that a bassist was located just half a mile from me. It turns out that it was me, as I had deliberately given a vague location. Just as well, as I was preparing for a Highlander-style bass battle.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barking Spiders Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 But the map doesn't show the underworld/Hades where I'm domiciled! Think I might have a couple of neighbours from BC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm one of the numpties that managed to put myself in twice (Matt P about number 1040 ish) i picked a location that was near enough (the right city) but the exact location is a few miles from my actual lair.

Newfoundfreedom Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 There are only two bass players in my entire country. No wonder people here think I'm good. Most of them have never heard one. 😆 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had many more folk come from other countries than France (UK, of course, but also Blegium, USA, Helvetica...), and several of the attendees from France were GB ex-pats..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the paucity of bass round these here Borders I should have done at least 10... And I'm actually nearer to one of the very few (@Bleat) than I indicated on the map - security, doncha know!
