Newest News!

3/18/2006

Now I have opportunity to thank some more kind folks for pitching in and volunteering to edit reviews. They have eliminated the backlog in short order and now you should find 200+ new reviews in the archive. Hooray for our new review editors: Jim Miller, Jim Carr, Mark David, and Bill Bartunek. Should you run across one of these gentlemen in your travels, be sure to buy them a beer!

On a related note, I have found that not everyone is accustomed to the new archive browsing pages. Please note that the up and down arrows next to "item" and "date" will sort by the item and date, respectively, and you can sort in ascending or descending order. Be aware that the archive is at the mercy of the review author when it comes to how items are named!

Thanks to the BGRA-reading community. I received a number of offers and I have accepted those offers for 4 new editors. I apologize for the lapse in posting reviews, but stay tuned to the BGRA, because a whole spate of new reviews is going to be coming down the pike.

It sure has been a long time since there has been an update. Well, here is one. The BGRA has been running continuously now for almost 10 years. Editing was done for about half of those years by me, by hand, and since then, by volunteer army using a suite of online tools for that purpose. (this used to be a message asking for new volunteers)

Much as I hate to get off topic here on a great bass-related resource, I am going to. Registered US voters need to know that there is a serious security liability in many touch-screen voting stations that have recently been installed - maybe in your community. The liability allows voting records to be easily manipulated. Please take an interest in your right to have your vote be counted by following this link.

Welcome to the BGRA 2004 site. I hope you like the new features.

I have added a "by letter" index to the browse pages. Visitors who have become accustomed to browsing by letter will feel right at home only better, since you can still sort by date!

I should also mention that if you feel like you have a particularly useful area of expertise, the BGRA will gladly consider any ideas for new feature articles. Some ideas: "how to shop for used gear", "how to buy and sell gear on the internet"... If you have a particular area of expertise that is relevant to the bass-playing internet community and good writing abilities, please consider dropping us a line.

Welcome to the new and improved BGRA. As you can see, the site has been redesigned with a new look. What you maybe did not know is that the internals of the site have also been overhauled. This new-and-improved side of the site is still brand-new and parts of the site still may need some work. Please bear with us while we make the BGRA better!

As you browse the review archive, please note that we have added a link to the bottom of each review for reporting trouble. If there are formatting problems, inaccuracies, or any other troubles with a particular review, please submit a trouble ticket! You can read more about trouble tickets here.
