What happened to TB? I remember when this forum was filled with knowledgeable experienced bassist that could give good advice and opinions.

This forum has turned into a Facebook alternative for a bunch of halve ass players that post comments that don't know what the "F" there talking about.....what happened?

I'd hate to be a new member and not know how cool this place use to be.......

So did you just make this thread to go on a Facebook-style rant or did you actually want to have a community discussion?

Help me help you here brother.

What do you feel is lacking? There are great new posts that are informative and helpful being posted every hour. The last year alone has seen Lee Sklar join our ranks, he is a wealth of information in himself.

If you are not gaining information here have you considered that it may be you?

@DiabolusInMusic has a point. You put this question where it doesn't belong @R.I.P. What part of it is a question about basses?

Also, with guys like @BassmanPaul @line6man @B String and others still hanging around, one can learn a lot around here. Never mind @Roy Vogt and a lot of prominent pro players running around. What exactly do you need from a bass community?

Sure, many of us (myself included) like to have a little fun and throw in a smartarse answer on occasion. And some younger members will get a little too sparky on occasion. But for the most part this is the classiest and most knowledgeable bunch you will find on a forum of thousands of people. Try going to another bass forum and see how Facebook it gets. Oy.

Maybe you just clicked on a few bad threads. Stick around and read a little more. Maybe ask a question. You probably be satisfied with most of what you get.

What do you think the "Miscellaneous" section is for? This is not a music related discussion. This is an off-topic grade thread, maybe the lobby.

Are you going to elaborate on your complaints or just keep ignoring the request for specifics? If it is the latter, I have better things to do than listen to internet whining, I have a hungry cat at home.

Anything we could have possibly learned in this forum is easily found via search function. I think that's why this forum has turned out how you think - people are too afraid of being chastised for asking a proper question now. Dumb reason, but...
