Uwe, Dave
Thanks for putting this site together...been a tough year in some ways, and the site sure helped.

Let me add my own thanks as well. My year has been somewhat trying as well (some I've shared here, some I've spared you all from having to hear about. :))
This has been my favorite place on the web since you two got it rolling. Heavy on the knowledge, camaraderie, and humor. Light on the drama and foolishness (well, unintentional foolishness). My kind of people, my kind of place.
Thanks not only to Dave and Uwe, but to everyone else who contributes to the great place this is.
Here's to another great year at the Last Bass Outpost!
-
I'd like to yell out a "thanks" from the bleachers, for the same reasons mentioned above. Plus, you guys helped halt(!), I mean divert a rash of F****r bass-building towards the magical and ballsy land of mahogany and chrome.
-
Thanks, guys, but George is right, all of you who post here help make it what it is.
Hard to believe we're almost to the two year mark.

Dave and Uwe,
Thank you for the great place to hang out, this is my fave place to be on the internet. Our sense of family here is unique, I've learned so much, you guys are all tops in my book. Thanks all for putting up with all my bad humor, failed romances ( with Chris/Doug) and my general :gay: ness ;)
I've had the good fortune to meet a few of you on the phone and in person and to buy a few basses as well, thanks George, Scott, Curt and Joe!
Have a safe and prosperous New Year all!

Dave,Uwe & everyone else here rules! i log on at least once a day.

This is a great place to hang! I appreciate Dave and Uwe for starting it. It's the only forum I frequent other than the Alembic Club.
-
Thanks are in order to all of you from me. It is nice to be apart of an online community with great members, some I have now known over 5 years from The Dude Pit which I joined when I was 15. While I don't post as much as I used to, I still stop by on a regular basis because I really do like this place and everyone here.
-
Thanx guys for this wonderful addiction called The Last Bass Outpost 8)
-
I'll add a heartfelt thanks to Dave, Uwe and everybody else as well. this is a great and fun place indeed! happy holidays!
:toast:

Quite amazing that a group of people so geographically disparate (no no desperate Kenny!..... well OK some of us ;)) can remain as close in friendship as the members here have become, to the point of becoming very familiar with each others personalities and individual sense' of humor. I have been on many forums over the years but none as stimulating (leave it out Mark ;) ) , funny and comfortable as this one. Thanks to you all and obviously special thanks to Dave and Uwe for making it possible.

I agree, this place has been a great refuge from tough times. It feels like my internet family here, that we have all gone through a lot of good & bad.
I'm glad to see a lot of new faces as well as some returning ones, without the "drama". I like the way new people are welcome here, not like other places that can be intimidating.
Dave & Uwe run a good ship, Dave being the disciplinarian & Uwe the voice of wisdom. I think it makes a good mix. Shake & Bake, Sweet & Sour, Naughty & Nice.
I would also like to add a big thanks to Jules & his relentless documentation, help & a great sister site.
Still, no true female regulars here (sorry Mark).
What I like about this place the most, besides the people here, is the "world view" you get, although they have to but up with our Americain idioms.
-
I don't know what it is that we do or don't do that keeps wimmen other than Mark away, honest! Maybe we just smell bad. :-\
This forum is as good as its people and that is all of you. I'd like to think that we preserved quite a few things that were good at The Dudepit (I know, no political discussions, but this is history now!) and discarded most that was not so good and became irritating after a while.
I've been very busy workwise lately (and have a three week trip to Chile looming with Edith after Christmas) and the dearth for good human material in our firm is such that I have now been asked to head up our German litigation practice start of next year. Talk about people being desperate! If Dave's wasn't putting in so much time here in between yanking his dog away from eating cat poop ("one man's Kopi Luwak is another dog's ...") this place wouldn't be what it is. So thanks for that, Dave, and thanks to everybody else for being there and contributing. The Good, the Bad & the Witty!
Fröhliche Weihnachten!

With out a doubt my online "home". A great bunch of guys to be sure, many I consider friends. Here is to a third year at the LBO. Thanks Dave and Uwe !
-
Yes indeed , Thanks to Dave and Uwe for putting up with us. Thanks to nofi for turning me on to this place. Thanks to everyone for contributing and making this a fun place for idiot basstards like me hang out ;D

A huge thank you to Dave & Uwe for giving us this forum that I call home. I check in several times a day just looking for something new. The people here are great and an incredible source for knowledge in a lot of areas. I've been lucky enough to meet two of the members in person and they were both great guys (Mark wasn't in uniform so I'll refer to him as a guy in this case ;)). I've had many opportunities to get together with Joe (Chromium) and consider him a good friend and partner in crime. So thanks to everyone that contributes here and makes it such a great place to hang out! I hope we have many years ahead of us here at the Outpost!
-
Thanks Dave an Uwe! Like others have said this is great place to hang and to decompress - like John said it's been a tough year and it's nice to have a place of refuge.
-
Yes indeed , Thanks to Dave and Uwe for putting up with us. Thanks to nofi for turning me on to this place. Thanks to everyone for contributing and making this a fun place for idiot basstards like me hang out ;D

BASSTARDS dammit BASSTARDS ;D ;D

Yes, indeed, thank you Dave and Uwe for putting this forum together. I've enjoyed being here and virtually meeting everyone! Everyone has been a great help and a wealth of information to a relative newbie to the bass. Thanks!
-
This is a nice joint! I think I'll hang out here some more! ;)
-
Gentlemen through and through... thoroughly enjoy the company to be found here...
(Dave, Uwe... sorry about the pain you have both been suffering until recently, I managed to hide the Voodoo dolls my wife and daughter had been sticking pins in so you should be ok now... ;D)
(Bret... gotta PM you about a bottle of Adelaide Red we were given at Christmas, just in case it is not "plonk"... ;))
Uwe, Tony, George... your kindness goes above and beyond...
There is no-one I have met here I would not like to enjoy a few beers with, and many I'd enjoy seeing play live... Cheers Ladies and Gents...

Kenny is living proof why losing The Battle of Britain came at a price! ; - )!

Awaiting PM Ken. Winery name, grape variety and year please.
-
Hey, I want to throw my thanks in there too. I don't really post a lot, but I read a lot here. Like others have said, I love the low drama and high camaraderie. I also love that so many of you have your steadfast opinions, but disagreements do not devolve into name calling or other mean spirited childishness. This place is truly refreshing compared to most of the rest of the internet.
-
My thanks to Dave & Uwe also! This may be the only place a guy can admit to owning a Gibson 20/20 & still maintain a shred of dignity! After all of these years of collecting Gibson basses & thinking I was pretty much alone in my quest, it's nice to know how many other people around the globe share similar interests.
Happy New Year to everyone here, may you all prosper enough in the upcoming year, to be able to support the GAS syndrom that we all seem to have contracted.......... :toast:

Some things are so easily taken for granted, after a while. Like this place, which I very fast grew accustomed to. I'm glad we have this outpost! Thanks, to you all, from -20 Celsius in northern Sweden.

Brrrrrr. -20 Celsius is a good reason to propose an akvavit toast to all.

My thermometer is sputtering out -19 below F! :puke:
-
Yeah, I feel for you guys we are really fighting the firgid weather here as well - only going to get up to 59 today ;D
Hmmm, might be just a tad too chilly for shorts and sandals :P
-
It is currently 73F right now here with a low expected to be 47 tonight.
-
I don't check in enough, but this is a great forum all around. Thanks Dave and Uwe for making such a great thing happen!

Just saw this thread and wanted to say:
- Thank you for hosting it. Its an expensive time sink to do such a thing, and its greatly appreciated. I've learned much here about my favorite pastime (that would be basses, and bass related stuffs), as well as others - wwII, colonoscopies, Jermaine Jackson, Jermaine Jackson's colonoscopy, ...
- The people and atmosphere here are/is/be great. Its nice that its a big love fest here and everybody shares and plays nice (http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/0chromium0/forums/smilies/hug.gif)
- Its the only place I go now to hook up with dudes on the Internet (meaning Nokturnal, of course - who'd a thunk there'd be some other Gibby freak within five minutes of me).
All for now. Carry on my good Outpost peoples.
