I've been lurking here for over a year, and there was a lot of good information and it was even entertaining on occasion...

Whatever happened to this place?

It just ain't the same around here. I know that I don't come around as often. No reason to check in daily anymore because I know exactly what topics I'm going to see when I log in and I know who is going to reply to them giving well intended advice. It is all now so....for lack of a better word....predictable.

It just isn't as much fun anymore. Anyone else miss the fun?

What happened is that basically a handful of humorless pitchfork and torch wielding villagers had a meeting at the biergarten and insisted that the Bürgermeister run the evil circus Gypsies out of town. Several longtime pro players (yes lifelong professional touring/gigging/recording players) got so upset at this turn of events that they deleted their accounts and when they did all their informational posts, thousands upon thousands of them, went "POOF." Others just aren't posting anymore while still others just don't come here any longer, but fortunately some were considerate enough to at least leave their posts up for future visitor edification. I refer to this chain of events that changed the bass forum into a ghost town as "Operation Tumbleweed."

By the time all this transpired a new private forum had been founded by one of the members who deleted themselves here and the Band of Gypsies hang there now.

I guess you could say we were all egged and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. I fell off that rail, rolled into the storm sewer, wiped off the makeup, ditched the wig and sombrero...and now I am blending in best I can as just another typical forum nerd.

Then, there is the Super Kid saga.....but that is another depressing episode.

Well the bass forum here is what it is. The curious thing is that the people that carried their pitchforks and torches highest don't even post in the bass forum much and mainly play guitar. One of them I know for sure owns mostly Gibson brand guitars as far as I can tell. Very strange.

Hi brotherdave,

I understood most of that, so your saying the clown people all left here? No wonder it's not the same as the last time I was here a few moths ago.

Ive gone back and read a bunch of posts, but i think a lot of stuff must have been deleted because until now, I had no idea what was going on. I still don't really, but I get the gist of it I think.

I knew something was missing. I used to read here a lot for the last year and a half and it was usually a good read. I still show up to see what you and a couple of others post but i miss the old regular poeple who were here. It was usually a fun read, so I guess your right about it being less fun now. If I had any serious questions, Id go to your website because they say you answer direct e-mails personally and in all my time here as a lurker, youve been the final word from what Ive seen.

You said the clown poeple went somewhere else, is it a secret?
Is it a private thing or do the allow other bass players there?
I didn't register until a week ago but one of the reasons i did was because I wanted to hang with the gang. They seemed pretty fun and i could tell a lot of them had some pretty serious experience.

I know at least 1 or 2 of them are still here but I don't see much of them and I know your not here like you used to be either. Are you at their other place? If its not totally private and they allow newbies, could you tell me where it is or pm me about it?

thanks brotherdave!


our place is secret :twisted: :twisted:

but you can come see it, i linked to your pm
