Ok, My former employer was headquartered in Mason, actually across the highway from Kings Island. Another company I worked for 15 years ago was in Fremont, a lil north of you. I have not been back there in a cpl years however. I am in So Cal, Huntington Beach.

I went to Cali for the very first time last year. Stayed in Beverly Hills and went to Venice Beach. LOVED it. Got a tat while I was there. Loved the people and the atmosphere overall. Could have done without the traffic tho. Lol.

I appreciate your kind words, @rory . . . 
I suppose itās difficult to do anything without getting some criticism {lol}
Although the poll may be fun, it can indeed be an accurate reflection of our membership. I also hoped it would prove helpful as a tool for developing future courses at Bassbuzz.
Thanks again to everyone for their participation.
Cheers, Joe

No, youāre not mistaken, @eric.kiser . . . 
There IS at least one member from Africa, but 1/200+ is less than 0.5% and the number doesnāt display because of rounding. We also have a few members from South America, and depending on the total votes that have come in, the number doesnāt display until it reaches 1% or more of the total. You may have noticed that sometimes it shows 1% and other times itās 0%.
Thus, for South America and Africa, 0% can be interpreted as āless than 1%ā.
I did not include Antarctica because no one lives there on a permanent basis.
Thanks for all your support, Eric . . . I really appreciate it . . .
Cheers, Joe

Indeedā¦ It is fantastic as well! I would love to hear about your story?
Like what inspired you to play the bass? Is there anyone playing any instruments at home?
You could pay a visit to introduction thread!

I first got into bass when I found Davie504. I really liked his channel which also made me really like bass. But then I stopped watching him after a while because his content started leaning more towards the personality and memey kind of content. But that didnāt stop me from forgetting about bass. I eventually found BassBuzz and Josh which is also around the same time I got my bass.
My brother plays piano but thatās where it ends for family members who play instruments.
