Pete Academy Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My missus has told me if I don't give up up Basschat she'll leave me. I'll really miss her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanRLS Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It's really quite bad. I always have the 'View new posts' window open.. it's literally open whenever the laptop is on. which is a lot. but i only check up every... 10 minutes or so . I should really cut down.

Marvin Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Considering that I am now beginning to appear quite regularly on 'todays top 20 posters', I'd have to say my addiction is getting steadily worse Ironically it got worse after Countbassy asked, in his thread, how to cut down or wean himself off BC. It seems to have the opposite effect on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheButler Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My girlfriend goes ape if she sees i am on here. She has put two and two together and made 4, in terms the time spent on basschat being reflective of money spent on bass. So, yeh... i view as text-only most of the time, hides the logo and layout etc, makes it much easier to conceal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I think Mrs Trav gets fed up with my time spent on here. I don't think it would get to the point where she'd threaten to leave though. She just huffs and goes in the front room, hahaha. I must admit though, i check the 'new posts' every hour or so, and i leave it open on the laptop at all times.....REFRESH/REFRESH/REFRESH!!! I've spent a lot more time on here in the last few days as i'm in buy/sell/buy mode. Trav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashevans09 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I got long periods of work where I'm having to wait for others so I'll always end up on here. That or playing Miami Shark. Damn I love that game. Anyhoo, I reckon I lurk far more than I post tbh... I'd love that 4th box under my avatar one day but i doubt that'll happen Edited March 30, 2010 by ashevans09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theosd Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Way I see it, it's no worse than having an eastenders addiction! Bassists are generally nice people with good attitudes I find. I always get on with other bassists. Or maybe that's just basschat making me think I do I come here for the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keeps the level of trust high for sales and the like . And to think I used to spend all my hours on TB... . I never got the whole club thing over there though...who cares?

BassJase Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My girl feels exactly the same, she always puts on a funny voice and starts yelling "F*****g BassChat again!!!" But yeah, I'm much more of a reader than a poster. Sometimes I'm only on here once a day, sometimes 3 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inglourious bass turd Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 On every day, at least twice - currently waiting for someone to post a nice Fender Jazz I can snap up!

Musicman69 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yea, Im addicted.. just started with a quick look at forum, then had to buy some gear.. then got GAS! Got a lovely Cort bass from a guy here, so all good so far. And Skank cracks me up with his posts usually, as someone said he should write some satire.. or just anything!

thisnameistaken Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 There are a few forums I visit daily and hope there's something to talk about because it's better than actually doing any work. But I'm self-employed, so I remain poor... I did quit a few forums last year when I noticed the impending tax return deadline and this wasn't one of the ones I quit so I suppose I'd rank it in my top 5. FWIW I didn't stop visiting Talkbass either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm having to control it. Fortunately this place isn't as busy as Harmony Central, so it's easier to stay away for longer periods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm certainly here every day. Damn BlackBerry sometimes struggles with pages that have a lot of images on though & that slows me down a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
