ped Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Sup I'd be interested to hear how you all found BC. I've made a simple poll to find out some typical responses - if you click 'Other' then please post and say how you found us. Whilst it's interesting from a promotion type of perspective, it's also cool to hear how word spreads about our website so it will be good to hear some responses. BC has never 'advertised' so it's quite cool to hear how you all arrived. Cheers ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You could do with a "Wasn't recommended by anyone" option for question 3, as if you leave the question blank you get told you haven't finished the poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles'tone Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I found BC at a gig my band did and the soundguy was a bassist. My modded jazz caught his eye so we had a good chat and he recommended your good selves. He said it was much friendlier than talkbass as 'everyone on there are moody buggers aren't they?' He was right. Mostly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve G Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I forget whichway round it was exactly. I was looking for lessons and found Dood locally. He then directed me to here, or here directed me to him. Either way, good result on both counts really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Apple Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I was getting back into bass playing and fancied an all valve head. Was originally looking at Orange, and searching for reviews came up with Basschat. Through various members, especially Mr Foxen and Tayste2000 I ended up with a Matamp rig and have been here ever since [size=4] [/size] [size=4]BTW question 3 was not [/size]relevant[size=4] to me, as I was not recommended, but skynet made me answer it anyway, so I answered 'other'[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I was doing a search to get amp/cab/combo advice. I was already a member of Talkbass & Uglybass but hardly visited them as they was both very Yankee & I wasn't much of a forumite. There's something about BC though that makes me want to stay & actually be a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I too was on Bassworld but left for a few years. I remember Kiwi saying they'd moved to Basschat but forgot the name so had to google it. I had a feeling at the time I'd registered when it first started but I couldn't recall my under which username or password so had to join again. I hope it's not a problem I clicked on [color=#5A5A5A][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Recommendation from real life human[/size][/font][/color] but it was actually Kiwi so I'm not 100% convinced this was the best option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumps Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Back in 2008 I decided to get back into playing after a break of longer than 10 years. I was looking for various bits & bobs of information & pretty much every time I did a google search I ended up back on Basschat.....After a while I just kept coming back & stalked the forum for the huge amounts of information here. I dont think I ever left after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Vader Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I used to read stuff on talkbass and not post a lot there. Then somebody linked a few threads over here from over there. I liked the general tone and banter and switched. I think... long time ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
