Greetings, folks.

I'll start by admitting I spent most of my online bass-forum time over on TalkBass, where I can amuse myself poking fun at whatever nonsense is currently exercising the hive mind.

Anyways, one of my little projects that proved popular over there is a map, showing member locations (as approximate as anyone is comfortable with, obviously).

Given that there's far too many Americans represented, I thought I might try and balance things out by letting folks here add themselves.

Just open the map, hit the ADDITIONS tab, then ADD MARKER, and, well, you're all intelligent enough to work it out from there, I'm sure.

 

Here's the link...

I appear to live in a low end wasteland 

[fleabag]

I seem to be homeless

[msb]

There several here in NS! 

[Dr.Dave]

Nobody anywhere near me - which oddly enough is how most folk like it !  I'm the one between Bawtry and Retford

Shropshire it seems is a barren hinterland bereft of bassists...

Ohh, give it time...I only posted a couple of hours ago, and already have 20 additions to the map.🙂

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I have the Russian mafia after me so I won't be giving away my location. Good try comrade!

[Dad3353]

My location is already coded into my User name, so...

Indeed! I only use my bass to keep the dragons off my beetroot!

[Grassie]

Done! The Isle of Wight is all mine. 😊

Great response so far, folks, thank you. I should mention that it may seem like there's only one pin on the map in more populated areas (London, say, or BIrmingham...not Shropshire, obviously😁). If you click on the pin the top entry should show there's '1 of 5' or whatever. You can edit address to move away from the crowd. Also, I've noticed a couple of people with multiple entries, probably due to being so keen to represent their area. I'd forgotten to mention I have to approve entries (had a bad experience a while back with some childish clown posting multiple entries all over the place and even editing valid entries) so there may be a delay in your entry showing up. Sorry about that.

Keep 'em coming!

 

[tony_m]

Done mine, just waiting for it to be approved / show up.

[bass_dinger]

I got quite excited to see that a bassist was located just half a mile from me.

 

It turns out that it was me, as I had deliberately given a vague location.

 

Just as well, as I was preparing for a Highlander-style bass battle....

[Barking Spiders]

But the map doesn't show the underworld/Hades where I'm domiciled! Think I might have a couple of neighbours from BC

Pfft, Putin, square go.

[Matt P]

I'm one of the numpties that managed to put myself in twice (Matt P about number 1040 ish) 

 

i picked a location that was near enough (the right city) but the exact location is a few miles from my actual lair.

There are only two bass players in my entire country. No wonder people here think I'm good. Most of them have never heard one. 😆

I guess your bass bashes are quiet affairs!

For a few years I organised Hofner bashes here in France. I had many more folk come from other countries than France (UK, of course, but also Blegium, USA, Helvetica...), and several of the attendees from France were GB ex-pats..!

I've deleted one of you. I just hope it's the right one!

Me too! But given the paucity of bass round these here Borders I should have done at least 10... And I'm actually nearer to one of the very few (@Bleat) than I indicated on the map - security, doncha know!

I knew there was someone on here somewhat near-ish to where I am, but I couldn't think who it was! 👍
