How did you discover Basschat

[kevbass]

I discovered this forum when it was called bassworld, I was selling a warwick thumb bass on the gumtree and somebody contacted me and told me to put it up on bassworld.co.uk and when I found it I thought it was ace

How did you find this forum?

[MythSte]

I think it was a google search when i was looking to sell something (shame shame!) This bought up bassworld and i've been here ever sinse!

I kid you not, everything i know about bass i've learnt from these forums, and i'd consider myself to be at the higher end of the bass knowladge scale! (im no BFM or Claber like, but yaknow.)

Me too... But I was looking for a nice bass forum anyway after being in Ultimate-Guitar for years and seeing the same old tired threads again and again, and being lost and overwhelmed at TB.

I really can't remember how I started Bassworld version 1. I met Gerard, who at the time was the other administrator, possibly on Talkbass. We chatted over AOL messenger (good times) during 1998 and we set it all up. I used check the new posts on the forum on my WAP nokia phone!

I came in quite early on Bassworld V1. I think I was a lurker first, before signing on. I remember there being very few members! I knew everyone by their real names!! he he.. kinda impossible now!

I have no idea how I found the forum. It may have gotten a mention on TalkBass, or come up in a search engine listings. I spend very little time on TalkBass these days, if at all.

T'is the BEST forum on the web! The biggest UK based bass forum too!

I'd just bought an 8-string and I googled it to see if anyone had any information about them - came across a thread on here and the pleasant tone of the discussion struck me so much that I decided to stay... forever!

[Hot Tub]

I was specifically looking for a UK bass forum, having been not very enamoured with TalkBass. Found Basschat, and have been bringing local property prices down ever since joining waaayyyyy back in February this year!

It's what I do. :brow:

I was googling for reviews of a bass, I think it was for a T-Bird, not quite sure. Ended up on Bassworld, realised it was a UK bass forum, signed up, went from there.

I was looking for reviews of Dave Hall's pedals before he had a website. Bassworld was the only place on the internet for proper info and reviews of his pedals.

I typed bassworld into google by mistake. One letter too many.

[Dubs]

+ 1 on joining to sell, don't know how I actually found it though. Great community of likeminded people encouraged me to get a bit more involved than using it as a fee free fleabay.

I was looking for a forum on bass fishing, and accidentally typed basschat.co.uk instead of basschat.com.

[gypsymoth]

All the way back from bassworld too, although I never really talk that much!

[Faithless]

Saw reccomendation in mate's website. I was lurker at first, still am now. Who cares, I like it there, and get to know a lotta things about beiz.

That's all for now.

I was an early member of BW, and been here ever since. I'm not a huge poster, just a few a day really. Read a lot though! I can't remember how I found it - I think I was just looking for a closer to home bass forum than TB, where we could all bitch about how much we pay compared to America!

[mikeh]

I cant remember how i found Bass World. But when I joined i think there where only 100 or so members!!

[Wil]

Joined Bassworld in around '04 I think, found it searching for a UK bass forum on google.

[Jase]

I found bassworld by looking for bass things on the net, not sure how long ago but glad I did, tis a grand forum

[sticker]

I asked a question about Bass rigs on the MusicRadar forum and someone pointed me in this direction and now I stay here more often than I go there

[gafbass02]

Ditto here really, googled bass forum on a whim in about '04 i reckon and found bassworld, then of course we had all the issues and bassworld and now basschat. I think i posted more on bassworld though.

I joined a band on bass but couldn't play it - I had 3 weeks and 20 odd songs to learn before the first gig. I was searching frantically on the internet for advice and stumbled upon Bassworld. I haven't done a full day's work since and still can't play the bass.
