I've noticed a huge increase of clubs lately on these forums. When I first joined and saw all the 'clubs', I thought they maybe were some sort of real clubs with real benefits, and then discovered they are simply a forum thread about a topic, that allows you to post your support for that topic in your sig (ie: Owners clubs, Locations clubs, Lifestyles clubs, Misc. Clubs.) Some of these I really like, like when I feel like looking at a bunch of Rickenbacker or Modulus pictures, or discussing ways of achieving Bonecrushing tone...however, these days theres SOOOO many "clubs" that are either cluttering up the forums or starting angry debates, its getting ridiculous. I therefore am leaving all clubs to which I was a previous member, and starting my own club, the Smallers TB Club Ever Club. Unfortunately, we aren't accepting members currently, but you can apply to join, and we'll get back to you.
All activities that a club would do are all in the forum ... If you are a "mark" club , let's say fender, lakland, squier, sadowsky, etc etc etc . . then You should be at least recognized by that company and have any benefits of it as our fellow TB'er Toastfuzz says ... and if You can't get sponsored well . . . made a fund and work on mods that could be done to your bass ( if You're willing to have the club spirit that's the way) there are tons of car clubs (vw, dodge, ford, etc etc etc) they mod their cars to improve features and so, you may say, "we are too limited to improve" I say the limit is your imagination
Never really got the 'club' thing myself, but do enjoy the mega-threads (some of which are called 'club thread's) that allow those who really enjoy a brand to interact with one another in one place without driving everyone else nuts
I'm starting the "90% off Everything, Anywhere" Club. If you're interested,T-Fuzz, follow the instructions above.
I thought TB was a club - you need to create your club name, we all have passwords, most of us pay to be part of it and we need to fill out some personal history. Yup, I'd say TB is a club, so looks like your a member of a club within a club...
i'm in a club in a club and i'm going to a club i'm also starting the "it's all just for fun and to keep boredom away club" i'm member #1
screw you! I'm starting an even smaller TB club! the only members must be smokingly hot Asian chicks that live in NJ, play bass, watch Dr Who, and get uncontrollably turned on by older studly caucasian male bass players who live in Ewing, NJ. There. Top that there sunshine
