The "whatever" club

[NancyJohnson]

Going back to post #1, I've voiced this previously. Over in the porn section it's pretty much all club-level threads postings albeit without the narcissic need for numbers. I'd sooner see members gear on an individual thread merit basis - much like Gary's plethora of Spectors - rather than trawling through 75 pages of individual Fender Precision and Jazz basses (which, come on, all look pretty much identical).

The thing that really bugs me about the 'club' threads on TB is that it destroys the forum, because as others have suggested, you end up with forums within forums, and you have to fish through 10+ 'club' threads before you find a thread of interest.

Having said that, I can understand the benefit of bass-specific threads. I wanted to find out more about the Cowpoke Precision I bought a few months ago, and sure enough there's a Cowpoke club on TB. From there I was eventually able to find things out such as what the different pre-amp controls did.

I think if BC were to have 'club' threads, then they should be stuck on a separate sub-forum, so that they don't pollute the browsing experience that we all love here on BC.

^^ This is spot on!

I started on TB before discovering BC and the Clubs were a great place to go to find information on specific brands... [i]BUT[/i] I did find that aside from maybe the odd group here and there, it was hard work... obtaining the information you wanted through conversation was much like walking into a secluded 'locals' pub where everyone goes silent and just stares at you until you finish your cranberry juice and leave

I get far more info on BC than I ever did on TB, I'm not trawling through 47 different threads to find out about one certain model of bass or waiting on a 'club' to get back to me.

I think the reason BC is more helpful is because we aren't secluded into little cliquey groups, we're much more open.
......
That said, a separate, sub-forum for brand specific threads is a great idea. Information gathered together without polluting our lovely clean atmosphere

I like where you are going with this... we could coral all the fanboi type groups and section them off

i recently heard a bass player friend say that he thought all left handers should be banished to the isle of wight and with no ferry or internet access too

I think some people need to lighten up and understand the word 'club' doesn't mean funny handshakes and all that.

We need a club for those who look at Precision vs Jazz, slap vs fingerstyle, Barefaced vs Dark Lord, and just say "whatever".

I take your point, but how many drop tunings can we actually hear / discuss - the mods could limit / compress them surely?

Whatever.

When I saw the thread title I thought it was about people using the word 'Whatever' in a dismissive manner lol.

I think those clubs are mostly for people who like the gear more than they like music.

Incidentally if you do list your gear in your signature I've probably switched your signature off. I simply assume that everybody has tried a Fender and a Musicman and knows what they're like, so I don't need to know if someone's got 12 of them and what colours they all are.
