Forum request: non-bass instruments

[velvetkevorkian]

Hi,
Since we seem to get threads about other instruments fairly frequently, could we have a sub-forum for guitar/bass/sax/drums etc discussion? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79731"]This thread[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67635"]this one[/url], amongst others, suggest there may be an appetite given the lack of quality UK based forums for other instruments and the number of multi instrumentalists we have.
Cheers
Kyle

I have never actually found that guy at all funny. At all! God knows why...

Although I would like to second the motion for a smaller area of basschat for other instruments

[BigRedX]

That's because he's not actually funny at all.

And I'd like to third that motion.

[SteveO]

I'd vote yes to this. At least it'll tidy the place up a bit.

[Musicman69]

Yep.. put all the banjo players in the same room.

[Marvin]

It's an excellent idea.

We could even rebrand the site to say

[i][b]Basschat.co.uk The home of deep discussion! And for those who play other instruments, who cannot be bothered to set up their own forum.[/b][/i]


Ducks and walks.

Haha... well I have considered setting up guitarchat but then... Im a bit crap at guitar to be admin of a guitar site lol!

[skankdelvar]

A guitar sub-forum would be useful, IMO. But all we'd talk about would be Telecasters.

Haha, no we wouldn't. I can't think of any reason why I would want to talk about those, or their cousin Stratocrapster

[tonybassplayer]

I'm all for it.

Surely I can't be the only bassist who also doubles up on Stylophone



Disclaimer

Apologies to anyone under 45 who has absolutely no idea what a Stylophone is.

Too right.

[Kev]

Quite simply, no?

Its a bloody Bass forum! Off topic is fine as its a BASS forum, other instrument talk is indeed off topic.

According to the page title, it's for bass [i]players[/i], not basses per se. We'd still be bassists doing deep discussion.

damn, i guess we ought to delete the "recording" and "for sale: other musically related stuff" forums whilst we're going by that then.

not to mention off topic being fine, but talking about guitars isn't because they're off topic.[/quote]
+1.. well put, mon ami.

And to those not into Ricky Gervais, at least in his 'Office' character it's hilarious in the same way as Spinal Tap - if you've been there it's both side-splitting and cringeworthy in turns! Most folks I know that don't play in bands are totally nonplussed by Spinal Tap, but there you go. Incidentally my parents just don't get Wallace and Gromit!

Good idea I reckon

[velvetkevorkian]

Also, the fact that when people post [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79922"]guitar threads[/url] in Off Topic they get moved to Bass Guitars suggests we need some other solution to me

Oh, [b]kudos[/b] to this man. He's like a steamroller powered by glowing nuclear logic.

With a big steel roller at the front with big steel knives in it. With a deadly poison made from undiluted logic on the tips of those knives. He swerves round the obstacles. He demolishes the objections. And those big, steel, logic-poisoned knives just keep coming closer and closer.

This is the first time I've seen the mods worried. The rank stink of terror pervades these pages. We [i]will[/i] have our Hitlercaster sub-sub-forum.

You may depend upon it. Oh, yes.
