How about a Sticky for links to For-Sale ads for supporting members?

[Thunder Pulse]

Yes, I know there's a Sticky that says not to post For-Sale ads here. It makes sense so that non-supporting members don't get free publicity.

Here's the problem though: 'G&L' is only 3 characters long, so it's impossible to search the For-Sale section for G&L basses unless you go to each page of the forum and visually scan each page. Tedious, especially if you don't come to the forum every day.

So how about a Sticky here in this forum where supporting members can posts links to their For-Sale/Trade/Wanted ads? It would make it 1000x easier for those looking to buy or sell a G&L to find them.

Can a mod run this by Paul for approval?

No one thinks this is a good or bad idea?

I'd be happier if "G&L" were just searchable; but, you can always run searches like L1000, L2000, etc.

But what if you're searching for is actually a sb-2 or sb-1.

those will work, I think, as they're 4 characters.
been a while since I tried tho.

But many would list them as just SB2 or JB2, leading to the same problem.

Who's Greg?

[Chunk-O-Funk]

You could try searching in google like this: site:www.talkbass.com/forum "G&L" +fs +ft +"for sale"

Here are the results.

Oh, edit:
put -archive and +2008

copy and paste the entire underlined inquiry.

site:www.talkbass.com/forum "G&L" +fs +ft +"for sale" -archive +2008

Putting quotes around "2008" helps, also.
