Double Bass What Other Forums Do We Participate In?

[bassist1962]

I spend my time her at Talkbass for Double bass advice.

Other than that it is:

http://www.activebass.com - Mainly for Bass guitar advice

http://www.bluegrassbassplace.com/ - More DB advice

http://www.acousticfriends.com/ - Acoustic oriented site

I also spend time on My Space, and a few game sites, Read the news, check my finances etc.

 

[Sam Sherry]

Ken Smith's, although I mainly lurk.

Invalid Link Removed. Man, saxophonists are such gear sluts! They've all got like eight of 'em . . . try that with DB!

All About Jazz -- Kinda cliquey but there's definitely lots to be learned.

And don't forget
Link Removed -- a very low-key hang, and Mr. Few falls by sometimes.

Not really a forum per se; I've been known to lose hours at this website. Check out the "Gallery Of Regrettable Food".

There are a couple of us TalkBassers who are also on the Vanagon List. Similar to TB, its populated by enthusiastic, knowledgeable folks you'd like to have a beer with. Pretty talky site.

All much slower (thank god!) and less time consuming than the first two.

This is an oldie. I never got to it the first time round.

TB is the most regular thing I do.

On occasion I'll mess around here:

Thanks to all who have replied, showing their interesting outside lives to us. I thought since I started this thread, I'd open it up a little more and maybe add non-forum sites that we regularly check in on. Like probably the rest of you, I do a ton of looking and listening on youtube. I'm a movie geek so, the Internet Movie Data Base(IMDB.com) gets a lot of time, also a forum there. For checking in with the home theater crowd, Club Polk is good. Also, for classifieds I visit bassgear and craigslist almost daily, ebay occasionally. Invalid Link Removed is a global Craigslist search engine. Lotta good stuff here in Nashville to check out though. For reviews on equipment and the like, I like Harmony Central and Amazon. When I get on a tear for used books,Invalid Link Removed is a great book search place. Invalid Link Removed is handy for quick metric conversions. I could go on, but will stop there.

Allegiance (Invalid Link Removed) - probably the best video game I've played in my entire life. I've played lots of them but nothing has the dynamism and power of teamwork as this has. No two games are ever the same. And it's free to boot!

Ever since I started going woodworking, I started to lurk at sawmillcreek.org and the forum at Japantools.com.

Marcus, thanks for posting about that site. It's a hoot and a half.

I spend a lot of time at saxontheweb.com too. Bassists aren`t even close to the saxi when it comes to gear, as Mr. Sherry said. We all have at least five horns and a few mouthpieces for each, to start. Right now I`m kind of looking for a nice Buescher soprano from the late 20s, for those days when my Conn soprano from the late 20s just won`t do.

Also active on quite a few motorcycle forums: yamahafz1oa.com , vision-riders.com, thevmc.com, Invalid Link Removed

Glad you like it. Lilek's writing on his home town of Fargo is often quite touching.

I used to look at Jazz Corner in a perverse, fruitless search for somebody with brains. Couldn't stand it, gave up years ago.
I use the Net mostly for research, and to pursue whatever interest has my attention at the moment.

A great bunch at a Boaters Forum
