lowhand_mike Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='185069' date='Apr 25 2008, 09:18 AM']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.[/quote] pretty much the same here, think i found talkbass first but didnt like it much over there and then stumbled on bassworld. i was joining a band and needed some help brushing up on my dusty memories of playing had to learn a load of songs and try and find a bass and amp. Though i didnt buy one for ages this place eased my gas (didnt know what that was then) but caused much moral torment i lurk, i go away, i come back, i sometimes join in, i sometimes say too much. But such a nice bunch dont seem to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc B Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I also found bassworld via a Google search, although I can't remember what the search was for, eventually found my way here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Was looking for a specific bass picture on google images and by accident came across bassworld - loved looking at all the lovely bass porn! And from there, got caught in the groove! andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 This is really interesting. Keep em' coming! I am impressed we do so well on google. Every time I search for a specific piece of equipment on a UK search, Basschat is among the top links! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeb Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 For me it was a Google search back in 2005 when I was looking to take up bass again after a 20 year hiatus. I came across Bassworld, registered and bought my Cort A4. Then my son was born early, I've had to work away from home most weeks and I've hardly had a chance to play the bloody thing Not playing much doesn't stop the GAS though ...

tauzero Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Google again - I saw a Digitech Bass Harmony Machine on That Ebay, wanted to find out more, and google found someone selling one on Basschat. I never did buy it after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylager Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've absolutely no idea. I might have been a member of BW in a previous life though, 'cos there's a link in me favourites list. Glad I'm here and been "forced" into spending a ton of money on stuff that I probably don't need and certainly doesn't help me play any better though.

FJ1200 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yup - Google for me, too in Feb of this year. Was looking for bass lessons and a good forum for advice and so forth, and this came up. Been here pretty much most days since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I was searching the internet for info on Fender Jazz basses and Bassworld came up in a Google search. Can't remember if it was 2004 or 2005. Been lurking here ever since though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakenewmanbass Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 An ex student told me I might find a buyer for my bass, which I eventually sold on the warwick forum but I'm still here many hundreds of posts and a few new students (thanks to Basschat) later.
