Bass Culture Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just dipped into this thread again and find I can't avoid the feeling that there is little popular support amongst the proletariat for my suggestion! Well that's it with me and changing the World - you try to make people's lives better and this is what you get.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 How about some shorthand for the split? I'd vote for 'Dinosaurs' and 'Weirdos'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost count of the times I've seen an FS ad for a gorgeous bass, only to click it to find out it's got a narrow nut. As you can imagine, the level of disappointment is crushing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than having your expectations about nuts being crushed! (sorry about the level of trivia, being driven slowly mad trying to get 50+ songs into my head for a three night run in Germany next week) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I hope BC guys play bass better than they put an advert together. Far too many sellers, it seems, need to be coaxed about location, weight, age and to add pictures, that something equally as useful as number of strings and meaningful tags, will certainly be way beyond their comprehension. Anyway, in the world of online bass retail, most sales outlets differentiate between many useful features and one of them is number of strings. Talkbass, Reverb, Bass Gallery, Bass Direct to name a few, so it's a valid request for the feature to be added to Basschat. IMO it would be a useful if the BC software could coach us through a list of specific tags before an ad could go live. I'm not holding my breath!!

London, 6' 0", and ~160lbs. However, I'm not dating, so not sure why you want to know this when buying an item off me... 😜 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MoJo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 On 09/05/2019 at 10:43, Stylon Pilson said: I don't think that the forum necessarily needs to be split, but I think that there should be more enforced use of the existing tagging system. If every single post had to either have a "4 string", "5 string", "6 string" etc tag before it could be submitted, then it would be very easy to filter to the ones you're interested in. At the moment, the fact that only 10% of posts have any tags at all makes it more or less useless. If there were a new automated rule that all listings had to have at least a certain number of tags (3? 5?) then it would be so much more useful. S.P.

yorks5stringer Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I think a compulsory tag should be 'is it good for metal' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
