Hidden features – dbTwang member profiles

One of the less obvious features of dbTwang (because of the overall focus on instruments and not the owners) is that if you click on the name of an individual their profile contains a history of their activity – including their commenting on other guitars and the guitars they follow.

As an example here is a screenshot of Guitar Guru – one of our many active members. He  takes part in discussion on a large number of guitars and happily shares his knowledge.

Lost and Stolen Guitars Roundup / Thursday 5th March

Austin Texas – Gibson Acoustic

The Austin Carnivore carries the news of a guitar that “may” have been taken by mistake. Could not find his Facebook mention but you can contact the unfortunate owner via Craig List.

Jamestown – Custom Made

From Craig List comes another plea for assistance – this time with multiple photos.

Acoustic Forum – Yamaha Acoustic, 1970’s

Slightly different request here – the son of a woman who had her Yamaha stolen wants to replace it and is looking for assistance in identifying it.

As ever www.screamingstone.com and www.stolenguitarregistry.com carry up to date listings on the stolen guitars which have been reported to them.

You can find a full list of online resources for lost and stolen guitars on our page here.

New for dbTwang members – Win an i-Tab and €100 worth of Tabs each month

With Charles Campbell happily looking forward to having his i-Tab in his hands we want to share some more out with you.From the iheartguitar review “it was really cool to see just how easily this handy little device can be operated. It’s also super handy that it can be easily stowed in a gig bag or guitar case for whipping out when the singalong mood takes you”

Invite a Friend
One of the great results of the recent member survey for us was the large number of you whom have invited friends into dbTwang – thanks so much for doing that. It is a great way for us to grow and we want to reward the most active of you for helping us to spread the word.

In the top menu under dbTwang there is an Invite a Friend function:

Using that allows us to track how many people you have invited – and how many of those invites have been taken up.

For the next 2 months we are going to run a competition where the person each month who invites the most friends in will win an i-Tab and a €100 voucher to spend on Tabs to use with it.

Only 2 conditions (small ones!).

* They have to respond to the invite and actually become a member
* They have to put up a guitar.

Thats it – we are looking forward to giving away a couple more of those wonderful guitar gadgets :-)
