Welcome to the Bass Forum at musicianforums.com.
I am LightRaven, the moderator of this forum, along with WhoDoVooDoo. Here are some tips about our beloved bass forum.
Please Visit the Bass Forum ARCHIVE. It is a work constantly in progress, but it is in that thread that you will find the links to the most sought out websites and other important and helpful threads we have to offer.
Please refrain from making a Pick Vs. Fingers thread. We have bassists who perfer one or the other.. or both, but it usually turns out to be a big flame fest.
"Flaming" is basically bashing other member's viewpoints, tastes in music, etc. Please try to respect everyone here, regardless of their opinions and other things, and the same courtesy shall be extended to you.
Please refrain from making a Best Bassist thread... again... it is a matter of opinion and an arguement will usually break out. This isn't neccessary.
When you decide to make your threads, please try to keep the thread title relevant to your post. A "Please Help" thread might not get many responses because people don't have time to go browsing through threads they aren't sure will interest them. A "do you think......?" thread will also not get many responses. If you have a specific question... state it in the title... those who have knowledge will be happy to help.
Know that there is a difference between the two buttons that say post new thread or post reply (something to that effect). If you are within a thread and you wish to make a comment... click the button that pertains to replying to that thread. Clicking on the Make new thread button will make a completely separate thread... not in correlation to the topic you wished to comment on. Good Humored flaming might take place otherwise.
It is also a bad idea to ask how good you are by listing off songs you can play. We don't judge by song lists... it doesn't really mean anything. If you wish to further yourself.. don't hesitate to ask what you possibly should be working on. But do not ask us to judge you. We don't like to.. and then there are always the possibility of some jerk trying to flame you because you "suck." We are here to further our education and help people..... not shoot people down.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at [email]Light_Raven@hotmail.com[/email]
Welcome and Enjoy your stay here.
We have alot to learn from each other!
