Thanks Ken!

[Jamale Davis]

thanks ken for the new forum and hopefully a breath of fresh air...

[Phil Maneri]

Glad you made a new sandbox. I'll play in it with you.

[Ken Smith]

Something woke me up about 3am. I think it was all the guys signing up using names other than whats printed on their ID. Phil has his in his signature but when one looks thru the 'Members List' he will see Toad and not Phil. That was one of the reasons for the real name thing. The other was so that it doesn't turn into another TB with snipers taking shots behind fictitious names.

I think the crowd here will be one of a better class, hopefully. So far, I see a nice group of people and know there are more coming. Riccardo, my brother-in-law is named Riccardo as well. Please use your full name so we don't end up with confusion on the name thing.

Anyone who has not signed up with his 'Real Name', PM my son Mike and he will fix it. Mike is working on new skins other than the default that came with the software. I expect to have it looking different fairly soon. I have been reading the Thread on TB, Misc/DB on the other side following the comments and opinions regarding this new Forum. So far, it looks positive but TB being what it is, anything can happen.

I am not looking for this Forum to take over or replace TB. If we end up here with just 10% of the traffic that TB has I will be happy as long as it's a good bunch of people. I prefer quality people here rather than a quantity of people. As you can see, I have picked many similar topics but also mapped out my 'New Bass' - 'Old Bass' Thread sections for all those wishing to be specific about their 'Dog House'.

Have you notice the spell check on this site or is it just me using Mozilla Firefox here at home and work? When I did the same posting on TB, I didn't see it but on this 'site I get underlined words and spelling options if I right click it. Cool huh?

Have fun guys and post away. I'm going back to bed..

[Jarrah Al Sabah]

[Bruce Lindfield]

That's the built-in spell checker in Firefox 2.

Thanks for launching this forum. I've been wishing you would open something like this for a long time so that those of us who own your instruments would have a central place to share thoughts and form a community.

[Brian Gencarelli]

Glad to see that you are gonna be posting again!

It's cool to have another forum for us low notes.

Thanks,
Brian

[Jim Lownds]

Thanks for the new forum, Ken. I'm looking forward to getting an "education".

[Mike Pecanic]

Hi Ken, you were missed at NAMM show (I needed a place to stash my jacket, LOL). Actually John S. and I discussed this site so here I am! Looking forward to the spirtied yet civil discussions here.

Mike

[Jeff Gellis]

Hey Ken,
I speak for many in the bass community when I say congrats on your forum.

I was saddened to learn of your departure from another bass forum where your posts were informative and entertaining.

Well, I should have guessed that you had a plan of your own. As it turns out probably a real blessing that you started this forum. Good luck and thanks.

Sorry I just ruined that idea! But seriously, I'm looking forward to hanging around here. And now you all know my real name is COCO! Oh well....

[Jim Clark]

Hi Ken and some other familiar cyber-faces,

I am very glad to see this forum and am looking forward to continuing to learn from Ken and the rest of the gang. I have been a member at TB for many years, but I tend to keep a very low profile and shy away from heated discussions. It's great to have another source of knowledge.

[Don Higdon]

My real name is Ed Fuqua, but somebody else took it.

There's nobody here with that user name. Make sure that your not trying to use the same email with two accounts. If you would like me to, I can change your user name from Don Higdon to Ed Fugua. PM/email me please Ed on how you would like to do this.

For the rest of you, make sure you send name requests directly to me via pm or email.

[Bill Doss]

Thanks Ken, A forum just for us!

Sorry, I didn't realise about the real name thing.
Real name = Richard Prowse.
I'll try to change it, but I'm not very good with these computer things.
