velvetkevorkian Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi, Since we seem to get threads about other instruments fairly frequently, could we have a sub-forum for guitar/bass/sax/drums etc discussion? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79731"]This thread[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67635"]this one[/url], amongst others, suggest there may be an appetite given the lack of quality UK based forums for other instruments and the number of multi instrumentalists we have.

charic Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have never actually found that guy at all funny. At all! God knows why... Although I would like to second the motion for a smaller area of basschat for other instruments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 That's because he's not actually funny at all. And I'd like to third that motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'd vote yes to this. At least it'll tidy the place up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) It's an excellent idea. We could even rebrand the site to say [i][b]Basschat.co.uk The home of deep discussion! And for those who play other instruments, who cannot be bothered to set up their own forum.[/b][/i] Ducks and walks.

skankdelvar Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 A guitar sub-forum would be useful, IMO. But all we'd talk about would be Telecasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm all for it. Surely I can't be the only bassist who also doubles up on Stylophone Disclaimer Apologies to anyone under 45 who has absolutely no idea what a Stylophone is.

Kev Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Quite simply, no? Its a bloody Bass forum! Off topic is fine as its a BASS forum, other instrument talk is indeed off topic. Edited March 7, 2010 by Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 According to the page title, it's for bass [i]players[/i], not basses per se. We'd still be bassists doing deep discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to those not into Ricky Gervais, at least in his 'Office' character it's hilarious in the same way as Spinal Tap - if you've been there it's both side-splitting and cringeworthy in turns! Most folks I know that don't play in bands are totally nonplussed by Spinal Tap, but there you go. Incidentally my parents just don't get Wallace and Gromit!

He's like a steamroller powered by glowing nuclear logic. With a big steel roller at the front with big steel knives in it. With a deadly poison made from undiluted logic on the tips of those knives. He swerves round the obstacles. He demolishes the objections. And those big, steel, logic-poisoned knives just keep coming closer and closer. This is the first time I've seen the mods worried. The rank stink of terror pervades these pages. We [i]will[/i] have our Hitlercaster sub-sub-forum. You may depend upon it. Oh, yes.
