i joined in 2010 but was lurking since 3100bc when I was looking for new strings for my Lute

That's nothing. I was here back when the only strings you could get were made of stone. Awful for slapping.

Aye, you were lucky!

Signed up here on 16th May 2007 having been on Bassworld since about 2001. Over the years I've bought and sold many basses and amps although now my gigging days are over my activity is much reduced.  Over the years I have met many fellow bassists and made many friends.

Relative newbie since 2009, my post count isn't as stratospheric as some of the titans here, but I like to think my inane blather has meant my word count's quite respectable. And some of it even makes sense...not much, I admit, but...

Lots of sparks though… twisted fire starter

Besides Bassworld, wasn't there another shortlived predecessor to Basschat?

On here it says May 18th 2007, but I'm pretty sure I was there

Apparently I joined in December 2007. Hardly seems possible. I don't think I was on Bassworld, but I used to hang out on News Groups like The Bottom Line in the late 90's/early 2000's - anyone remember them??

 

I remember The Bottom Line, but more because Steve Manes also ran a Triumph email list which I was on.

 

I've learnt a lot about the existence of many makes of bass which I never knew existed, all of which are very expensive and several of which I now own. It appears that the level of one's knowledge is in inverse proportion to the contents of one's bank account.
