Why is it that when Brow, Hunter, _tom_, Machinehead, etc. get many responses, but not the newbies? :?

They do :?:
I just reply to what I'm interested in. And also they may have contribute well to the forum. I know Hunter has with his amps, sound clips and helpful links that he's found from across the web.
And well.. I don't know the answer really. Never noticed. Apart from Hunter, but I just explained that.
-
hunters miracle man clip just got one response (me ;) ) i think you're just being a bit paranoid :lol:
-
I really don't think there is any favouritism -Like Jonny, I will respond to a post if I have something to chime in with. I like to think this forum is very welcoming to new members. Inevitably there is going to be a bit of banter between some of us as we have been around a while and "know" each other but that is not to say that anyone is excluded-at least I hope not.

Law of t'internet jungle, I suppose.
Some folk pay more attention to folk they know.

Have you got anything specific that you wanted to talk about?
-
He made a thread in the pickups section, I think that's what he's talking about.
I read it a few times and I wasn't quite sure what he was asking, so I didn't reply. Maybe that's what others thought too.

At first I wasn't going to respond to this thread because I was thinking, who is this guy?

I posted a reply to your pickup thread, but I think the reason that no one had answered was because you have an unusual set of woods in a custom guitar. At that point Tim is the person to go to.
The other guys may get more answers because they have more standard equipment and questions. Look how many people are replying to you here :P
I will only reply if I think I can contribute, I never reply on metal, 7+ string or what colour should I get (if someone can't make that decision they need much more than my help!). In your case I didn't reply originally because there is a lot of information needed that you haven't given. I have asked for the additional info, but actually it is still hard, because until you hear the guitar acoustically, picking a pickup to suit it might end up with a sound you don't like.
There is also the fact that I have been to the pub with a few of the old timers here, and met them at LGS or Music Live, and so you tend to keep in touch through here.

:D :lol: :lol:
P.S. I get an urge to type out those DMB lyrics in bold capitals every time I see you post now... how can I stop it? :? :oops:
-
like the other guys have said, I just reply to threads that interest me - no favouritism here.

Haha, I think you should, would make a point. I didn't reply to your youtube comment, but those lyrics are correct!

I think I replied to one of your earlier threads about pickup choices, but as Phil K said above your guitar is a very unusual one - it's extremely difficult to make suggestions.
To be honest, when I see threads from new members, or with few responses, I often get an urge to reply - we've all been there, and it's disheartening to be "ignored". But there's not much point if I've nothing helpful to say (assuming I ever have anything helpful to say... :? ).
-
(assuming I ever have anything helpful to say... :? ).
Don't be too hard on yourself. PDT_003

Much the same here.
The post you mean is the pickup choice for your redwood guitar?
I had no idea about those woods and chose not to make an ass of myself by posting on something I knew nothing about really :D

I guess it is like entering a room where a group of people who are already well acquainted with each other are. People will try to talk to you but the conversation flows more rapidly or easily amongst those who already know each other as they have a repartee established with each other.
There are many well established members here who i remember when they were new (Heck - we were all new at some point) , and after a while they are completely at home
-
To be fair, most of the replies in my last few pickup threads have been from myself :lol: :roll: while thanking people for their advice, or asking further questions :wink:

Don't worry - I've been using the forum for a long time and nearly everytime I contribute to a particular thread it dies :cry:
If I was a bit younger I might develope a complex about it :roll:
....well that's the end of this thread then....

Yeah, it sure is!

It's because your contributions humble us with your immense wisdom and ability to sum up a thread and give us a knowledgeable answer. Nothing more needs to be said :wink:

Everybody on the board knows...

Hey, I could say the same about Transsexuals but it never stops me :wink: :roll: :lol:

I really like to listen to Peter Andre's music as well...
I think ""Mysterious Girl" is a metaphor.

afgan dave wins post(s) of the month :lol: :lol:

That's funny, now I get everybody's attention! But not just myself have received few replies, I've looked at other threads and see the same happening. I do appreciate all the replies though, and you have made some valid points about knowing people, but you have to start somewhere, eh?
-
This is one of the most laid back and friendly forums that I've seen on the net.
I understand where you're coming from about posts but you also have to realise that on most other music forums this thread would get flamed and be littered with inane cr@p from idiots :D
The fact that it isn't speaks volumes for the people here.
I'm sure that things will pick up shortly for you.
Maybe make a mahogany/maple cap guitar next time, so I can suggest pickups for it? ... :D
Cheers mate.

Maybe I'll make a les paul copy next. But I think a steinberger bridge for a headless les paul would be cool.
Cheers.

Also when posting about what pickups for what woods ect, another generic response from the forum is, What sort of music are you're into and what or who your influences are to get you to a foundation of the tone your after, if that makes sense! Good luck with your project and welcome aboard 8)

It's not a forum, it's a secret society.
Think yourself lucky. When you hit 100 posts they're all 'round your house with an assortment of guitars and not a single item of clothing between them for a weird initiation ceremony.
I've only just been able to start sitting down again.
