Quilly Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just think the folks here are a much friendlier bunch than that “other” site across the pond. A lot of folks there act like they’ve small willies or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Half the accounts are Fender shills. No matter what the question is, thirty lads are lined up to tell you Fender is the answer. A depressing turn of events as it used to be a decent resource. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I occasionally browse just to see what’s trending, but nowhere near as good as our BC 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 What brought this on? Gratuitously slagging off fellow bass players? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a problem with them because I made a comment about being chuffed with my new Warwick RB Corvettes on one of the threads and was met with a barrage of abuse about they aren’t real Warwicks and they shouldn’t have the Warwick name on them blah blah blah!!!!! 🤬 Edited August 5, 2019 by Jimothey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Let alone if you if you make a P bass without use genuine Fender licensed parts they lose their S**t!!! Edited August 5, 2019 by Jimothey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I joined up to the "other" site and like you said Quilly just not very friendly IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I pop over occasionally, mostly just to make me realise what a surprisingly reasonable lot we are on here. For the amount of people who contribute this really is one way of the most grown up sites I’ve ever been on. I’ve had some hilarious and instant reactionary spats across the pond on the ‘other’ site. Perhaps we should build a wall to keep them out? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJpullchord Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 This site is very biased towards bass guitar though. Sort of assumes all bass comes from a bass guitar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The site was the inspiration for this one and there’s a huge amount of experience and some great people on there. With any site that size you’re going to get some arses who like the sound of their own voice but imo if you ask a good question and don’t give them any room for stupid replies to generally can find what you need. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
