There are a number of bass forums, other than bass tab forums, on the interwebz. How is your experience with these forums? Could you rate them on a scale from 1 to 10 (bad to excellent)? - Do you use them to gain knowledge? - Do you like to post in the off topic section? - Do you have an account? - Do you post?
I'm an active member of our national bass forum (Basgitaarforum) in the Netherlands. It's a simple forum with honest, helpful bassists. I also joined the US TalkBass. A lot of fun is going on there. But… The mods can be rather agressive. One wrong word and they are immediately ‘on the case’. Almost a year ago BassTalk247 started. They are a small forum with a lot of ex-TalkBass guys who got kicked out or were frustrated. Off topic humor is the driving force. I joined them as well, just to keep in touch.
Couldn't say. I've been on some guitar sites, but this is the first and only bass-specific site I've been on. And I dig it here, so I feel no need to explore others.
I'm on TalkBass - mostly as a way to get good used gear. But lots of really knowledgeable bass players there with many years of experience - you can learn some things or get help. I'm going to check out some of the other ones Jay listed. Cheers
And I wouldn't have guessed that Jay was from the Netherlands. I've been to Amsterdam numerous times, though I don't remember too much
Must admit I thought he was from way out back in the Ozarks, with a swing on the porch while he serenaded Ellie May with his big double bass, a couple o Coon Hounds trying to sleep out front as the sunlight flickered through the trees
