I think the large number of users just shows what a great and attractive site TB is. (OK, it's addictive, too.

) You've got bassists from all over the world on here, from the youngest neophytes to people who've played for half a century, from bedroom players to pros who have toured the world multiple times. And the atmosphere here is more constructive and positive than at any other sizable board I've been on. There's a bonding aspect, too. Friendships are formed, often through GTGs. TB is a very cool place.
