Hello! I'm new here, just checking things out. This forum seems to have a lot of potential! I've been following TB a few years, so I thought I'd share. I use TB primarily as a resource for gear, theory, technique, and recording and I must admit I've learned a lot. It isn't perfect, but I think that it's a great forum given its size. After all, it is mostly bass related and it's full of bass loving folks - how can that be a bad thing?? Most bassists are laid back anyway IME. It is heavily moderated and PC, but there are a bunch of young kids that use the forum, so that might have something to do with it. I recently started to participate a little more. I'll check the latest posts 2-3 times a day and post a reply whenever I can help someone out. I think that the gear obsession can be a little much at times but as someone mentioned it's all in good fun. As far as cliques are concerned, who cares? There's over 100k members! Personally, I post a message and then forget about it - then on to the next thread. I can't control how/when/if someone responds to me. I mean TB has hundreds of posts a day! I've never seen a post about religion, but then again, I only go on there to talk about bass. It isn't as pretty as BC, but I think the subject matter/wealth of info make up for all that. And with a little bit of tact, you can easily avoid the mods... but if you're one of those people who like to stir up a fight, then best of luck with that. For all those that can't stand TB, I recommend giving it a second chance (or third). Over the years, TB has gradually become one of my top bass resources which is something I never expected.
Cheers from New Orleans
