What happened to bassmasta.net?

Answer 1

To the members of BassMasta and Guitarmasta.net:

There's no easy way to say this. After almost a decade of developing this amazing resource for musicians, I have decided that the time of the BassMasta community has come to an end.

This wasn't an easy decision, and it's one that I've arrived at after much discussion, meditation, and prayer. It's become more apparent that as a one man shop, I don't have the resources or time to attain the proper licenses that would enable me to deliver the content you love. Fortunately, the good people at Songsterr have generously offered to take the domains off my hands. I've accepted the offer, and now the future of online tabs and music education rests in their incredibly capable hands.

I've dreamt of creating a community that was safe, educational, and inspiring to enable the next generation of musicians grow in maturity and skill with their instruments. I believe that the people at Songsterr have the talent, vision, and resources to bring that dream to fruition.

Soon, my urls will begin forwarding to theirs, and Bass/GuitarMasta will be no more. I hope the transition will be a smooth one for you. The important thing for you is to save any content here that you've contributed or that you rely on. Once the lights go out it will be irretrievable.

I've learned so much running the sites, and I've enjoyed my time here with you immensely. I've grown as a musician and designer, and I've learned much about what it takes to develop a good community. I hope that you have learned as much using the sites as I have from running it.

In once sense, it's sad for an amazing period in my life to come to an end. But it's with breathless anticipation that I wait to see what life has in store for me next. I wish you all the best of luck with your music and all your other pursuits. Here's to the future!

Sincerely,

Daniel Christopher
