Strongly opinionated, but that's surely true of a considerable proportion of the BC membership. I seem to recall that it was all about Aguilar and Sei Jazz basses.... monitored through D&B wedges. Anything else was just piffle. I'm surprised he even played about with Bergs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had some dealings with him & he seemed completely on the level, friendly & helpful. Bought & sold a few bits & pieces, & he even gave me a stack of old 70s & 80s catalogues from his shop, because he knew my interest in old MIJ gear. I knew he'd stopped taking on work because of ill health, but if I remember he disappeared from BC amid allegations he'd taken payment for work he'd not done, or had instruments to work on that he hadn't returned. Seemed out-of-character from what I knew of him, but I guess one never knows. Edited January 3, 2022 by Bassassin Punctuation,,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who took part should be ashamed of themselves. Luckily I missed that one But will probably get in trouble for saying this but I remember a few years back when moderators were being enlisted to bc and we seemed to have lots of mods and shall we say it was a bit of an old boys network it's still a little like that now for some members but happy to say that the moderation team who actually contributed to the forum do a pretty good job really and let's be honest there's a lot of very sensitive members on here who go running to the mods at the slightest thing they don't like and the mods to pretty well to keep a happy balanced forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats an obscure reference I'm hoping at least one person gets! On 02/01/2022 at 14:27, chris_b said: I met up with JTUK outside of BC several times and he was an OK guy. More than can be said about the people who hounded him off the forum. People get very uptight sometimes, If you treat it like a pub where there's always going to be a handful of absolute total onanists somewhere... but you just ignore them. Live and let live, there's enough issues in the world with people I know in real life before I start worrying about a load of bass players in internet land. I've met a few folk off here at Bass bashes and doing trades- It's been lovely pretty much every time. 1 hour ago, Bassassin said: Never really heard the full story of what went on with Howard Bass Doc.

He's around on Facebook, I remember he got ill and some people got annoyed - but since then he made me a scratch plate for my Sadowsky and seemed sound. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I can't recall ever crying to a moderator of any forum, I've had a few private conversations about certain members but never to ask for them to be censored or anything, bonkers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Lysdexia Great photos and advertise for any of his sales. Had two 'deals' with him - great guy, full of enthusiasm and humour. One deal he came to my house, the second he asked if I could approach his nuclear bunker due to health reasons. Was a lovely trip and great visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never noticed it myself, and despite my post count, I've been here for years (even though I've lurked more than posted recently) A lot of the above names are familiar, with maybe just one for the wrong reasons, but it's a good place and well run.
