Bass Heritage Board – Subject Listing

Bass Heritage Boardgroup on Facebook – Post Listing by Subject Area

The Subject Listing allows a convenience of browsing all posts within a particular area, which the Facebook’s “Search” engine simply can not offer. This listing however is accessible only to Facebook members, and if you are not one, you will need to join Facebook first. In order to facilitate access to the posts it will be prudent to keep two windows open – one for this listing and one for Facebook pages. The easy way to achieve this is to “Right Click” the Facebook’s link and choose “Open Link in New Tab” (or “New Page”).

Moreover, each and every one of these posts is by default always active, therefore if you get inspired to add your own comments to any of the old discussions, please be welcome to do so at any time. You will however need to join the “Bass Heritage Board” too. Once in the group, any of your comments will automatically revive the particular post and move it to the top the Facebook’s group hierarchy. In essence, the more bassist and scholars discover these discussions, the better chance will be for a comprehensive assessment of the featured topics.

This subject listing does not conform to any common library standard and instead follows the represented materials in a way friendly to both academe and profession. For example, the “Iconography” heading is rather broadly conceived to include all visual materials related to the broader Bass Heritage. It contains various formats such as photographs, drawings, sketches, paintings, frescoes and more. As this Board evolves in the future, more differentiated subject headings may be introduced.

Some entries have been assigned to several subject headings – in order to better your chance of finding desired material. Bear in mind however that some discussion may leave the topic and go in the unexpected direction, as there really are no enforceable rules on how people will interact under particular post. Thus the original title may have a little to do with the discussion content – although the discussion itself may contain quite valuable information.
