Basschat Addiction

[oldslapper]

This is my first and only forum, it is a bit "family" like......people swapping ideas, having a laugh, getting a bit feisty with each other sometimes, and there are the "mums & dads" like Skank/OutToPlayJazz/Bilbo/PeteAcademy/Jakesbass/MrsTinman,, etc who are experienced bods in the bass world and who post a good thread.
I'm a "once a day" man , and like to see what's what on here.
I also like the fact that everyone's accepted, despite what gear you play, or how experienced you are, or how crap I am....
Addicted? probably.......but apart from the odd GAS attack, I could think of worse things to be addicted to.

I'm on all the time. I really need to cut down! :-)

I begged big scary IT manager at work for an internet login and password even tho my lowly drone position doesn't merit it.
Shocked he actually gave me one without too many questions so now i can sneak off for BC peek when things are quiet.
And I am only at work 3 days a week !!

Addicted? Meh!!

i'm on here a stupid amount of time a day, honestley
need to give it a break, addictions the wrong word imo.
more of a compulsive thing not that there's much difference

[bottlebassman]

Gotta say, I do like it here tho'. A fine bunch of folks!

I probably look in about 3 times a day at work, and just once in the morning at weekends. So not really addicted, just splitting up the dry and boring times at work.

I am most definitely NOT here, rather than going to sleep.

You ain't seen me... roight?

I have an excuse for being here. I probably don't have the chance to look in as often as I used to though. Too many other demands on my time at the moment and the time difference doesn't make it easy to actively participate in topical conversations.

I really dont care about my addiction to BC..i have a problem that ive learned to deal with through the medium of electric bass...imo i dont (although i have learned alot) really care for TB...i dont know why...not as close nit maybe..not that i know everyone here....dont know about others..

i thought BC was taking time away from actually playing which it does a little, but the amount i learn from BC'ers is worth its weight..like Sarah 5's RGT thing..i would like to do this and i wouldnt have known about it if it wasnt for her and BC...and my previous posters expert thoughts/ opinions on pickups etc...very informative..

hurrah!!

I've said it before and I will say it again - it's the only place I can go where the vast majority understand the one thing I talk about ...all the time... AND don't tell me to shut up!

Of all the forums in all the world, Basschat is the only one where I ever bought the t-shirt and even got off my butt to go and meet a bunch of strangers and had a good time!

Bassists are generally nice people with good attitudes I find. I always get on with other bassists. Or maybe that's just basschat making me think I do

I come here for the pictures [/quote]

I haven't checked 'ordinary' forums (those, that I 'am used to check everyday) for 5-6 days, Basschat included, and, hey, I haven't missed anything, it seems so far..
