thebrig Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Don't know whether this has been done before. But since joining BassChat a couple of months ago, I find myself hooked to it. I log in every day and spend ages reading all the great posts on here. Problem is, I should be learning new material instead of being on this site all the time. I have to say though, I have learnt so much, and picked up some great tips from all you guys/gals out there. [b]Anyone else neglecting their practise to be on this site?[/b] That's it, I'm logging off now, and I'm going pick my bass up, and start on the three new songs that I [u]should have[/u] learnt at the weekend.

Duarte Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I've been away for a while, came back for a little advice on amps, and now I'm on here for HOURS Quote
LiamPodmore Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah, i even end up on here in school sometimes, or till 3am because i'm bored and theres nothing on TV (as usual, british TV is sh*t nowadays, never anything good on, just mock the week and top gear reruns on dave) Quote

Thats about the times I have a quick skim Not Wednesday night though Im off to Doddys house! I wonder if he has Wi-Fi.............. Quote
Blademan_98 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I gave up on FB and managed two hours practice a night...... Joined BassChat and that dropped to an hour a night. ...... now I am taking lessons, it's back to 2 hours and just the odd hour on here So to answer the OP, YES I do spend to much time on here! Quote
gub Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Yep guilty spend far too much time on here and also just bought a new bass on here so its costing me money as well Quote

But not today. Oh no. I have 2 hours. I put my timer at 30min and I'm off Quote

Personally I never spend much time on here I'm far too busy badger farming. Quote
xgsjx Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hi, my name is G. I was a happily gigging musician with 2 bands & rehearsing 2-3 times a week. One day I decided to join Basschat for a little advice on amps, cabs & combos & what would be best for my situation. I got many good answers & got to know a lot of folk & enjoy talking about bass & everything that goes with it. That was almost 3 years ago. Now I spend every waking minute on here. Have no time to even talk to the other band members, let alone rehearse. Haven't had any gigs with them for many months & even longer since I had time to play bass with another musician (they just don't understand). No one communicates with me & I don't even know if they've replaced me Does this sound like you? Do YOU feel like you're addicted to Basschat? Then call Addiction UK on 0845 4567 030 now! Quote
