Most reliable and friendly musicians' forum (and marketplace) I have ever discovered, and I've been doing this stuff since before the Internet was invented.

It provides a platform for like minded people to interact in many ways.I have met several really nice people, in the "real world" after reading posts and/or buying gear on the site.

Received an email begging me for money whilst acknowledging I’ve not used their site since July 2015…

“ Living costs are going up for all of us in the UK thanks to the Ukraine invasion, Brexit and the impact of COVID on supply chains. This is why we wanted to ask a favour.”

We have had a failing government for over 10 years, who have not been on the side of the public, and are looking after their own assets and interests. That’s why we’re up the creek - every other country seems to have adjusted for the inflation, and no other public is suffering like British.

Then to ask someone from UK, who hasn’t visited your site in 7 and a half years, to start giving you £20 a month. Why? I’m struggling too. If I can’t afford to put a full meal on my own plate or put on heating then I certainly dont have £20 to give to a dead, boring website that I have no use for.

I am astounded at how tone def your begging for money is, why did you think this would be a good idea?

It's a really good site with a lot of knowledgeable members and some really interesting discussions take place here.
Certain mods (self appointed father figure is the worst offender) are incredibly patronising and pop up on almost every post to offer their oh so important opinion. Definite clique problem here that hasn't got any better over the years with some threads descending into mass fart sniffing love-ins between members of the in crowd.

Great marketplace and general atmosphere apart from that though

Basschat.co.uk is a friendly site where folks can discuss anything bass related, music related and non-bass, or music related. They're a friendly crowd and things are generally all kept very friendly.
The mods on the forum are all good people too; being generally helpful and very fair.

There are precious few places on the Internet where expertise and good humour meet in such a pleasant environment as Basschat.
Yes it can get wonderfully nerdy, irreverent and passionate, but that's fine - bass players care about their chosen instrument.
Buying and selling on this site has always been, for me, a painless and safe experience. I have traded, bought and sold instruments, amplifiers, speakers and effects through the Basschat market place for many years and never had any problems.
There is a one off annual fee to use the market for sellers, and it's so cheap, I actually see it as more of a small donation to the upkeep of the site than a commission on sales.
The expertise, knowledge and wisdom people share there is second to none. I've learned to read music with help from members, learned how to replace a trussrod in a bass, downloaded content freely shared by other members and made genuine real life friendships.
Highly recommended site.

very knowledgeable friendly bunch. lots of fun and humour but with a serious edge for all things the love of bass

One of the best, if not the best, forums on the internet.
Hugely knowledgeable people always ready with friendly advice and help on anything bass or music-related. There are all abilities (total newbie to arena players) and all are equally valued. Also a very safe marketplace to buy and sell.

What really distinguishes BC though is the community. There aren't the snide put-downs and trolling you get elsewhere, or if there are then the mods are pretty quick to intervene. There's a fair bit of silly humour (bad puns and quick wit are everywhere!) but there are genuine friendships and concern for each other here too. Some threads off topic cover quite personal issues, the warmth and depth of advice and support is amazing.
If you play bass, any standard, any gear, any style, you should at least checkout the site.

Great forum - well moderated and all round friendly bunch, low on cliques and welcoming to newcomers. The richest seam of credible opinion on bass kit in the world.

Basschat is one of the most civilised forums on the web, great people and great company.

An excellent website without a commercial agenda. The admin staff are very amiable and I have always had friendly helpful responses with a side dish of good humour.

A great site where I've made many friends over the years, sold and bought bass stuff and generally have a good laugh at some of the daft stuff. Highly recommended, even for guitards..

Very friendly and helpful site and moderators.

Been on BC since 2012. Never an issue, always getting great help from the moderators.
Best of all, they aim to keep the site fair friendly - either due to the amount of trolls out there or keeping people safe. Great ethics.

There are a lot of great things about Basschat; the variety of topics that are discussed on the forum, the sense of community and the trust that has built up and, of course, the massive pool of knowledge about all thing bass.
Moderation is light-touch but effective and Support has always been excellent. I’ve only had to use it two or three times but I’ve always had a very prompt response and any issues resolved straight away.
At a time when social media seems to be becoming ever more divisive and less tolerant, I consider BassChat to be one of the ‘safe spaces’ on the internet.
