It was 18 years ago today ...

[Happy Jack]

... Sgt Basschat on this day in May.

 

I remember it like it was 18 years ago.

Ahhh yes indeed good sir! We all scurried over from the sinking ship that was BassWorld.co.uk!

 

I remember logging on to BassWorld and I think I still had dial-up internet to begin with!  

BassWorld appeared around 1998 and it was a lot quieter than BassChat, it’s great to see that many of the very early numbers of ‘worlders are still here!! And great to see the community has flourished and grown. Though it is saddening that we’ve lost some wonderful bassists on the way, their memory lives on.

I too was on Bassworld for awhile and signed up for Basschat on 17th May 2007.

 

I remember thinking why would anyone sit in front of a terminal and post about playing bass!

 

Ho hum!!!

This post made me wonder how long I’ve been on here, looked and it will be 15 years on Weds.

 

And I only joined to sell a bass, wonder how many others have similar stories.

I'm an interloper - I joined Bassworld like possibly weeks before the move to BC and happened to be online around the time of initial go live of BC.   I know very little of the "before times".

I was working on a show in Berlin at the time and was originally a member on BassWorld when I received my call up papers for Basschat on 19th May 2007.
