Is there a guitar chat??

Hi all,
Does anyone know of, or can recommend the guitarists equivalent of this site??

Depends what you play. The TDPRI is great for telecasters and I'm sure there are other sites for other guitars but teles is my thing so that's the only one I've used. I know of a Gretsch site, a Les Paul site and a Strat site. There doesn't seem to be a good all round guitar site though

there's ultimate guitar, but i wouldn't bother with that, it's crap.
There's also harmony central, which i haven't tried.

www.theguitargrounds.co.uk is what i use. its very small, and whereas you can check in on basschat every few hours and have plenty of new posts to read, i only check in on the guitar grounds once every couple of days. but if theres something you need to know, theres some good, friendly guys there who will be able to help you out.

Although I may be wildly mistaken, it seems to me that many general interest guitar forums are wildly uninformative and full of crazed illiterates flaming each other about their musical tastes (kinda like BC Off-Topic after the pubs chuck out).

TDPRI is truly excellent for Teles. I have also derived inordinate satisfaction from other brand-centric forums such [url="http://gretschpages.com"]http://gretschpages.com[/url] and [url="http://www.fenderforum.com"]http://www.fenderforum.com[/url]. There's also quite a cheery little SG forum out there - [url="http://www.everythingsg.com"]http://www.everythingsg.com[/url]

As with many such forums, the membership tends to be more USA-based - and the depth of knowledge is outstanding.

some basschatter with knowledge of how this works should really set one up, i'm sure loads of basschatters would join.

+1 to guitar forums
+1 to TDPRI too. They're actually quite partial to a tele bass (or a '51 P) now and then too.

There's The Gear Page - which is mainly but not exclusively guitars - American-centric but with a fair few Brits, I've found people there helpful, lots of posters..

Try this one - guys are friendly if mostly US, and great deal of knowledge - also a good bass forum affiliated with this site.

Thanks Guys,
The plan is that i am involved in a music project and taking on the MD role, So, for my sins i am searching for competant and relatively experienced guitarists that can fill two posts in the line up. I can forward more info about the artist to interested parties later, but thought i would try guitarists forums first.

Thanks

Steve

nearest thing I have ever found is the forum on -

vintageguitars.org.uk

also has a section on vintage basses.

Geoff is correct, the musicplayer forums in general are excellent and the "low down lowdown" is full of great bass folk.
