Machines Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I'm inclined to agree - I don't feel there is a justified need for a separate forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalmaniac Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Oh man this might reignite the debate.. brothers.. sisters...cant we for once join hands and live in a happy world where basses and ERB's can play together?

Cantdosleepy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 [quote name='Alun' post='90252' date='Nov 18 2007, 02:01 PM']1. Have a test forum for a couple of weeks and see if it gets used enough to warrant its existence.[/quote] Sounds reasonable to me. On the other hand, I'd never venture into the ERB area, but I do like to see them mentioned from time to time. Would ghettoising them give the ERBists a haven from Fender four wire purists, or encourage suspicion from the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantdosleepy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Extended Range Bass. It means the fretboard is like one of those concertina-ing boxing gloves on a stick that they have in the Beano etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_D Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) Sorry ARGH but I had to vote no. Dont see the point of another sub forum for all the reasons stated by other chatters. Could you not just accept that some people are Douches when they post the drivvel that has brought this on? You are trying something new and more power to you, dont get hung up on other peoples views (however misguided). Edit: I have no problem with the idea but feel you might just alienate yourself even more. Edited November 19, 2007 by The_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARGH Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Well lets face it....lets question why I created this thread. Ive let this run a few days,and either way,I dont mind how it goes. But it proves that there IS support for seperation,which I believe or at least hope comes from a genuine interest and need felt,AND upon the flipside, acceptance,saying YES they are Bassguitars,next generation musical technology,which we want to see more of,and learn from. Which is a good thing regardless of where anyone stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Across my basses I have -2 strings (F# and and + 2 strings (C and F) in addition to E A D G, so I think I'm fairly in the zone for an ERB target forum, however I can't see the point of a dedicated forum unless all the FX, amps, basses, theory etc. are duplicated, and I think they serve ok, so I voted no.
