A guitar sister site for basschat?

[Chris2112]

Did I just dream this, or is this indeed happening? I recall the admin team saying they were working on a new site to go with basschat, aimed at guitarists? My brother has always dreamed of a 'basschat for guitarists'.

I hope I haven't just imagined this...

[chrismuzz]

Nope you didn't dream it! It's definitely planned to come along some time. Wasn't dood going to be moderating it?

[Kiwi]

Yes, we had someone lined up to kick it off, but his father was diagnosed with cancer so Basschat things have taken a back seat. We're hoping he will be able to get back into it in a few weeks though. We've had a series of let downs with web developers unfortunately.

Guitarchat, Drumchat and Synthchat have all been registered if i remember correctly.

I am really looking forward to this and I hope to contribute to the guitar site. I ask because my brother mentioned again today his long standing wish that there was a guitar site with the vibe and content of basschat. I told him there was a guitar site in the pipeline. It will be awesome.

Will our current user accounts span all the sites or will we need to re-registered on each different board?

[Kiwi]

If the numbers are limited, we can transfer account information over manually. Alternatively re-registering might be better and if there are any user name poachers, the admin can sort things out.

interesting point, and being multi-faceted as us bass players are who would go which direction - first thoughts being an ex-guitarist would be to go to guitarchat, but... a thought thats not occured to me until reading chris2112 post is that maybe i would prefer to read and post on drumchat for a bit of an insight into how all the drumchatters perceive us lot in the performance arena - although i know there are a few on here already offreing useful advice

will there be any stigma issues? being a drummer on a bass forum must carry a certain small frisson of excitement and titillation !! would that still be the case once everybody was assimilated into the big new world order music-chat mothership [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Funk_Mothership"] [/url]

on the plus side it can only be a good thing if more keyboarders and guitarers are exposed to our basschat [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/70165-funk-and-groove/page__hl__funk%20and%20groove"]funk and groove thread[/url]

Guitardchat - like it

[Machines]

Kiwi has asked me and dood to admin it when it's live. No rush as the domain is parked for now - but I think it's better to plan properly than rush, as it won't just be a copy and paste of Basschat,

p.s. Definitely easier to register new accounts than try and migrate them.

GitChat?

Its bad enough having debates off topic with decent bass playing types, but with guitarists !

(yes, I know there are some jolly decent ones (chaps not players) before anyone pipes in)

[Lord Sausage]

Is there already a drum chat? I'm sure i've visited it whilst looking for drummers in the past?.....obviously i don't mean travelling back in time like Bill and Ted!

Will we finally find out what is the best guitar for metal?

[xilddx]

I'm fascinated to see if the community spirit will develop into anything like BC.

I thought guitars were only for metal anyway

Or at least, that`s the impression you`d get from reading most reviews about them.

Really? Where are the reviews you read? Guitar World is pretty rock and metal, but most other guitar mags out there are very broad.

Reviews also give the impression that bass players still slap.

[Silvia Bluejay]

LOL!

Er, I got into guitar (listening, not playing) exactly because of metal...!

It would do if we understood any of the jokes.
