Do you remember your first post at TB?

What the title says. It would be cool to know how some of you megaposters started wasting bandwidth.

 

[SpankyPants]

Haha Yep.

I was thinking about putting a new neck on my Harmony.

I mean, I love that bass, but it plays like ****. I ended up deciding that I'd just get a new bass.

And now I've bought a ton of other crap too. Thanks TB!

 

[The BurgerMeister]

hmmmm.... no.

 

[Atoz]

No. I can't even remember what I did ten minutes ago.

Actually, yeah -- The whole reason I signed up here in the first place was to buy a Hamer Cruise 2-Tek from another TBer. My first post was related to that transaction.

Now, my first post in OT... Not a friggin' clue!

 

[Yvon]

Yes I do... I can find it easily!

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

My first posts were about playing Jazz and some problems I was having with strings and my Fender RB5 bass!

Did you end up actually buying it?

I remember talk bass being the first website I ever joined , I was really impressed with the sense of community when I first got here.

I can't remember my first post, but I suppose I could find it.

without searching, I am pretty sure mine was asking about Tim Commerford--but I was doing it before it was cool! lol

Us newcomers have really taken care of destroying that.

I first heard about TB on the TBL (The Bottom Line) e-mail news letter back in 2000, came over here and really dug the vibe...stopped reading TBL about 2 weeks later, because I just prefered the atmosphere here at TB! MM's dead on, wonderful sense of community!

I didn't remember my first post, but I went and found it...man, how my tastes have changed in the past 7 years (SEVEN YEARS!!! ):

A lot has changed in my life since that post!!! I have lived in two different states (I was in Baton Rouge, LA at the time of that post - 'sup Spanky! ), been divorced and remarried, gone through countless gigs in 3 different countries....oh yeah, and been a moderator twice...wow....

 

[stedtale]

yes....thanks

It was something about how awesome Les Claypool is.

 

[soulgeezer]

Did you end up actually buying it?

Yes, I did! Here's the thread and my incredibly profound first post:

Great bass, by the way!

 

[tyrant81]

Yes, this is it! LOL

Same here.

I think my first post was my first thread as well.
It's when my TB handle was "Geddy_lee" i was so cool.
Anyway, I posted it in the DB forum by accident, asking what the tuning on the 6-string bass is.

I was such a n00b.
