Stingray5 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Just wondered who else might have seen this new bass website called 'For Bass Players Only'. (Or am I just late to this particular party!? ) [url="http://www.forbassplayersonly.com/"]http://www.forbassplayersonly.com/[/url] Quote

The only posts are by the guy who created the site, so early days. Looks USA based, but I will probably keep an eye on it. Quote

Jon Liebman!), so it has the potential to blossom into something useful. The site is, however, ugly as sin. Quote

I've been creating over past several months and just "went public" with it yesterday (June 1). I invite your input and feedback (and I'll see what I can do about making it prettier!). Thanks for spreading the word. Jon Liebman www.ForBassPlayersOnly.com Quote
Golchen Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I guess it takes a while for these sort of sites to get going. Interesting to see that I share a birthday with 4 famous bassists - even if I've only heard of one of them! Best of luck with it. Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Woo hoo.....I share my birthday with Stanley Clarke. Not bad considering my surname's Clark, and my mum's maiden name is Clarke. Then again, I also share my birthday with Mike Tyson......so......ah stuff it. Quote
mathewsanchez Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I love the site simply for the fact that it's informed me I share my birthday with Marcus Miller. Yay! Quote
bythesea Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Shared birthdays... ummm... Squid Vicious? Explains a lot about my bass playing Still, there is always Nick Drake. Oh... Quote
OldGit Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I missed these two by a day Charles Mingus (1922); Paul Chambers (1935); Jon .. Nice idea but the rather clunky and dated site design puts me off. I'd suggest you get a skilled web design person to create a stylish and more functional design before publicising it too much. Quote

geoffbyrne Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 If you're on narrowband dial-up, the graphic content makes this site bad news. G. Quote

Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Not amused! I don't really share mine with anyone. Whereas my wife shares hers with Kelly Groucutt (ELO) and Will Lee My eldest daughter shares hers with Jet Harris (Shadows, methinks) And I'm disowning my youngest on the basis that she shares hers with Trent Reznor (NIN) and Josh Homme (Qotsa) Grrrr!
