Reviving this question 
Ok, so my activity on the forum has decreased recently and I know there are quite a few women participating but as I was browsing through the 50 First Songs 100 Week Challenge and compared the song threads to all the wonderful ladies mentioned in Women on Bass, I felt like there was a bit of a gap, forum-wise. So I’d just like to encourage everyone, especially women, to join in the fun and the lovely community that has been forming around the 50 first songs. It is a really great way to get out there for the first time. And really absolutely nobody bites.
